Compression for IPL/spider veins legs?

SMOOTH58Jul 19, 2023
I've had a few treatments of IPL for very small spider veins on the inside of each knee. The ones on my left leg are gone, but the right..although the same size..are more stubborn. The medspa put a self adhering wrap around this time, and said I could remove after 24 hours. My question is will it be beneficial to leave this on longer?
