SCLEROTHERAPY

---

Sclerotherapy is not suitable for people who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or confined to bedrest. After giving birth, people must wait 3 months before having sclerotherapy.

Patients can achieve desirable results within 4 treatment sessions. 

Sclerotherapy patients can return to their regular daily activities as soon as the procedure is complete. If pain is present, it usually fades within just a few days. Mild bruising may occur and will heal completely in one to two weeks.

Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment, enabling patients to walk around soon after the procedure and even drive themselves home. Walking, in fact, is encouraged, as it promotes blood flow and minimizes the risk of blood clots.

Swelling and bruising due to sclerotherapy can be minimized through the use of stockings. On average, it's best to maintain compression for about two weeks.
