I am 3 days post sclerotherapy. Is it normal to have such amazing results so soon? (Photo)

Question

I had a pretty big vericose vein injected 3 days ago, as well as some spider veins. I've heard they don't go away right away, but my results have been proven otherwise. My results are great! I've been using Arnica gel to help with bruising. How do you know if you will need more treatment? Can you tell by my pictures if the veins will continue to dIsapear? When would staining appear? My leg feels so much lighter. I would highly recommend this treatment!

If you have results quickly be happy about it.  its normal to get improvement if done correctly!  Best, Dr. Emer.

Its nice to see a positive review like this.  You and your doctor are on the right track and I appreciate you also understanding that treating cosmetic veins is not an overnight result, but rather a continued effort.  Stay well! Thank you for sharing!

It looks like you had some very good results.  I think that you have found a good sclerotherapy practitioner and you be wise to continue treatment with this individual.  I would recommend to use compression stockings in the future to prevent recurrence.

John Landi, MD · Answer

You have had a great early result from sclerotherapy.  I schedule 6 weeks between treatments and at that time your doctor will determine if any additional treatment is necessary.  Hopefully, staining will not occur, but if it does, it happens around 2 to 4 weeks post treatment.

Thank you for your question.  I must say that given the photos you sent the results are indeed impressive for just three days out!  Every patient is different and will require a different number of treatment sessions to get acceptable results.  Keep your follow up appointments with your injector and see if any plans may need to be made to perform more treatments.  Best of luck to you, and congratulations!
