There really is no healing/recovery time
You can go right back to work and everything you have been doing. There is no healing necessary. good luck!

Sclerotherapy recovery
Recovery from "SCLEROTHERAPY" is dependent on exactly what you mean. If to go to work with support hose than a day or 2. If you mean appearance than it could be as short as a week to a month for full appearance recovery.

Sclerotherapy recovery is minimal
There are a lot of ways to manage post-sclerotherapy patients. I just use compression bandages for about 8 hours. You should not have a lot of discomfort after the procedure.

Sclerotherapy convalescence
Most people go back to work in support hose, compression garments (not department store brand) for which you should be measured, after spider veins are injected. If however, you are having larger veins done, then the physician will tell you your restrictions.

There is no down time with sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is done very easily and with foam injections at about $350 per session and 1-3 monthly sessions. There is no down time but small bruises can last a few weeks to months. Occasionally a small ulcer or sore can occur. Support hoses are recommended and exercising can start 1 day later.
