I had one sclerotherapy treatment on a small patch of leg spider veins about a month ago. Sometimes it looks almost totally faded, other times it looks almost as bad as before it was done. Is this normal?
I find after scleotherapy the veins do most of their fading by 2 to 3 months. However, some people are slow faders and it can take 6 months. So do not be discouraged yet. Be patient and hopefully you will be rewarded.
I just had a schlerotherapy session last week, I was instructed to wear bandage or stockings after the treatment. I only wear the bandage/stockings for like 2-3 days because I need to go to work..and I can't wear those things when I'm working. Is there any effect if I only compressed my legs for 2-3 days?
I have been doing sclerotherapy since 1985. I tell my patients to wear them for 2 weeks while they are awake and sleep in them the first day. I know I sound tough but the results will be much better. I have patients that have had several treatments over the years and they admit they get better results with the treatments that they followed my rules. At an ASDS meeting many years ago a study was discussed verifying this discussion. As we know this is not a fun procedure to have done and it does cost some money, so why not maximize your results.
I had sclerotherapy 4 weeks ago on both of my legs and was wearing compression stockings 24/7 for 3 weeks and still wearing them some due to little swelling in ankles. Results of the sclerotherapy is amazing, about 80-90% of spiderveins gone. I went to the beach yesterday for 6 hours in the sun with 50 sublock applied. Now I can see some of the veins again and seems spotted in areas. Is this normal? I thought 4 weeks out of sun is enough time. Will it go away?
It is possible when the tan or burn fades some of the veins should disappear. We have to remember that the long term response to sun exposure is to make more veins. This is the sun damage effect we talk about. However, this is a long time process. Hopefully, when your tan fades so will the small new veins and redness fade.
