How long should I wear the compression hose after the procedure?

It is recommended to wear medical compression stocking 20-30 mmHg for a period of a week during daytime, it is not necessary to use them while sleeping at night. Another recommendation would be to avoid lifting more than 20 pounds for two weeks. Walking is encouraged 100 percent. Do not be concern if your veins look worse after your treatment before they look better, this is expected and also normal. Remember to stay out of direct sunlight for 3 to 4 weeks and/ or wear sun block or protective clothing after sclerotherapy. Remember to follow up with your physician after your treatment. Keep your physician informed about any change or concern. Thank you for your question! 

I recommend weaaring compression hose for 48  hours after sclerotherapy or a closure procedure. Some patients prefer to wear it longer and this is ok but , in general, 2 days of compression is adequate.
