Is There Any Effect if You Only Wear the Bandage/ Stockings Two Days After the Session?

Some doctors advise the wearing of compression hose, others use tape and cotton for a day.  Most would seem to advise the use of the hose for at least a day after the treatment which you did. You probably will get a good result regardless. Sclerotherapy does require a few treatments usually. Avoid blood thinners prior to the treatment which can help lessen bruising, hemosiderin discoloration and help effectiveness.

Sclerotherapy  works but causing inflammation to the veins and then making them swell shut. The hope is that the veins will seal off and form scar tissue without letting any blood back into them. Compression stockings help prevent the blood from working its way back into these veins that were injected. I typically recommend three days of compression after my treatments and our patients do very well. You should be OK after the third day.

It may be enough time but you should really be following your surgeon's advice. It could compromise your recovery rate.

As a double board certified cosmetic laser dermatologist and pioneer of sclerotherapy treatment, I recommend that my patients continue to wear their compression garments for 1 week, 24 hours a day following their procedure. Though some may find this uncomfortable or an inconvenience, it greatly improves the outcomes of your treatment while promoting healing. Only wearing the compression garments for the first couple of days could potentially result in less optimal outcomes and require additional sclerotherapy treatments. After the first week, you can switch to a lighter stocking during the day.

I recommend my patients wear compression hose for the first 24 hrs and then 8 hours during the waking hours over the next 5-7 days after sclerotherapy treatment.
