What can I expect after the session?

In most patients, support compression stockings will be required. These can be purchased at our clinic or from a medical supply vendor.
Bandages or pads may be placed under your compressions stockings after sclerotherapy.
Often, the treated areas look worse before improvement is noted. With successful treatment, the spider veins gradually disappear.
We may ask you to minimize your vigorous activity for at least a day after sclerotherapy, but want you to resume walking immediately.
We will let you know how long to leave the compression stockings or bandage on and when you can shower.
You should avoid hot tubs and tub baths for 48 hours following sclerotherapy.
We may ask you to return for a follow-up visit after your session.
