About 3-4 weeks is ideal
About 3-4 weeks is ideal to wait between sclerotherapy treatments, but you should also confirm with your physician

You would want to wait about 3 weeks to treat the same area and wait for any bruising to fade. If you are treating a new area, you could do the following week.

Sclerotherapy is usually done 4 weeks apart for 2-3 sessions at $350 per session
Sclerotherapy can be done 2-6 weeks apart but usually is done 4 weeks apart and require 2-3 sessions as an average but some stubborn varicosities need 4-6 sessions. Support hose is very helpful in resolving the varicosities quicker. Most sessions run $350-450 each and are done with pilodocanol or foam sotradecal. Hypertonic saline isn't used much anymore.

Usually sclerotherapy is scheduled a few weeks apart, but it totally different areas are done on a future treatment, then it might be appropriate to do the untreated area as early as a couple of weeks after the first.

Sclerotherapy is done every 2-4 weeks
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.
