Sclerotherapy

What Happens After Sclerotherapy?

• Take a brisk walk for 10 – 20 minutes immediately post treatment.
• Wear your compression hosiery continuously day and night for 72 hours
• Expect your legs to look worse on removal of the stockings. At this stage this is normal. They may look worse for up to 2 weeks post treatment.
• Avoid extremes of temperature for up to 2 weeks. (Hot baths, saunas)
• Avoid sun exposure for 4 weeks; pigmentation may take longer to fade.
• Elevate your legs as much as possible for the next 2 weeks
• Consider delaying long haul travelling for at least 6 weeks post treatment or check with your travel insurance company.
• You will be asked to return for a 2 week follow up appointment to assess progress.
