Sclerotherapy is a medical procedure for treating spider and small varicose veins. After the procedure, you can expect the following:
- Compression bandages or stockings: Your doctor may apply compression bandages or stockings to the treated area to help reduce swelling and promote healing.
- Mild discomfort: You may experience mild discomfort, including a burning or stinging sensation, in the treated area for a few days after the procedure.
- Bruising: It is common to have bruising or discoloration around the injection sites. This usually resolves within a few weeks.
- Itching: Some patients may experience mild itching or tingling in the treated area. This should go away in a few days.
- Walking: Your doctor may recommend walking or light exercise after the procedure to promote blood flow.
- Results: The results of sclerotherapy may take several weeks to become fully visible. In some cases, multiple sessions may be necessary to achieve the desired results.
Following your doctor’s post-procedure instructions is essential to ensure the best possible outcome. If you experience any unusual symptoms or severe pain, be sure to contact your doctor right away.
