How Long Do I Have to Wear the Compression Stockings After Sclerotherapy? Are the compression socks needed for the best long-term results from sclerotherapy or mainly to manage the swelling or circulation?

A: Post procedure sclerotherapy compression

I agree with Dr. Kiripolsky's comments. It is very important to wear compression stockings as much as possible for 1 week to 10 days to achieve optimal results.

Best Sclerotherapy Solution? I had Sclerotherapy done 3 years ago in FL and the results were wonderful, very noticeable within weeks, continued to get better throughout the 4 procedures I had.
Six weeks ago, I had it done again in Nashville. After 6 weeks, I can't tell any change, actually I only notice the new veins. I don't know which solution was used in FL, but she called it a soapy solution. The clinic here used saline. In your opinion which works best and is better for you to use?

A: Patients have Patience!

In my office we offer a variety of solutions depending upon the size of the vessel. We also use a yag laser. Results are generally good, but you must have several treatments and it takes 6-8 weeks for the end results!
