Answer: Compression stockings for post sclerotherapy Compression stockings are believed to increase the effectiveness and safety of the procedure. Compression stockings keeps the treated and injured vessels compressed and helps them heal and prevents the trapping of blood in them. Trapped blood in these veins may cause unnecessary pain, inflammation and pigmentation, as well as decreased effectiveness of sclerotherapy. We recommend wearing the compression stockings for the first 48-72 hours after the procedure. You want to put them on first thing in the morning and removing them right before bed.

Answer: Compression stockings (20-30 mm Hg) after sclerotherapy I recommend that my patients wear compression stockings for 3 months after sclerotherapy. The literature supports wearing stockings anywhere from 2 weeks to 3 months - I would follow the specific instructions that your vein specialist recommends given his/her practice guidelines. The stockings should cover all the areas injected - thigh high if they inject in your thighs, knee high if the injections are below the knees ..

Answer: Compression Garments Post- Sclerotherapy There is alot of literature which supports using compression after sclerotherapy, which include improved results with regards discoloration (hyperpigmentation) and vessel closure (recanalization) as compared to non-compressive sclerotherapy. Generally, compression should be continuous for the first 72 hours, then be throughout waking hours and removed at bedtime for two weeks (minimum), depending on vessel size. the degree of compression can also vary with vessel size and other factors, but should be a minimum of 20- 30 mmHg

Answer: Sclerotherapy and Compression. Following sclerotherapy I recommend compression for 48 hours. If you have spider veins treatments at the thigh level then you should have both thigh and calf compression. If you have only calf veins treated then compression is necessary only to the calf. The reason for compression is to keep the solution in contact with the treated veins and to decrease the chances of staining, bruising and swelling. I recommend 24-30mmHg compression and I use Medivein. A good over the counter compression is GoldToe for calf length.
