How it works:
Asklerol 3% injection contains Polidocanol, a sclerosing agent.
It causes irritation and inflammation in the treated blood vessels, leading to the formation of blood clots and the closure of the veins.
This process helps improve the appearance of varicose and spider veins and redirects blood flow to healthier vessels.

Do not use if you are allergic to Polidocanol or any of its ingredients.
Do not use if you have uncontrolled systemic diseases like diabetes, hyperthyroidism, tuberculosis, asthma, neoplasm, systemic infections, blood dyscrasias, acute respiratory or skin diseases.
Avoid if you are immobile or have severe arterial occlusive disease (Fontaine stages III and IV).
Thromboembolic diseases and high risk of thrombosis are also contraindications.
