The FDA has approved polidocanol injections for the treatment of small varicose (less than 1&nbsp;mm in diameter) and reticular veins (1 to 3&nbsp;mm in diameter). Polidocanol works by damaging the cell lining of blood vessels, causing them to close and eventually be replaced by other types of tissue. <ref>Facts and Companies: </ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.theodora.com/drugs/asclera_polidocanol_bioform_medical.html |title=Asclera Full Prescribing Information in Drug Reference Encyclopedia |format= |work= |accessdate=2010-04-11}}</ref> The FDA has approved polidocanol injections for the treatment of small varicose (less than 1&nbsp;mm in diameter) and reticular veins (1 to 3&nbsp;mm in diameter).

This procedure should be done with caution and with the knowledge that the appearance of the leg may be forever compromised.
