i did vericose vein sclerotherapy and the new told me not to get the bandage wet why is that?
When I perform sclerotherapy in Orange County, CA we have many patients who would like to get their tape and cotton balls wet after their treatment. The reason we advise them to keep it dry is because they will no longer compress the area well if they get wet (which is why they are placed there to begin with) plus we have found that the paper part of the tape sometimes comes off in the shower but the adhesive stays on the skin, making it more difficult to remove later. We only recommend keeping the cotton balls and tape on for 3 hours, so keeping it dry for that long is usually not a problem.
What happens if spider veins are not treated?
Spider veins are great to treat as they are unsightly and many people choose to use sclerotherapy to get rid of tem but they have no health concerns if left untreated. Even if treated you can still get new veins in the future so treating the veins you have may or may not prevent new ones from forming.
It may vary among physicians, but in my practice, I recommend my patients return every two-four weeks for their sclerotherapy appointments. It may take up to 2 weeks, perhaps occasionally longer, for results to be apparent after a sclerotherapy session, therefore you should not be treated more frequently than this.
