I just had a schlerotherapy session last week, I was instructed to wear bandage or stockings after the treatment. I only wear the bandage/stockings for like 2-3 days because I need to go to work..and I can't wear those things when I'm working. Is there any effect if I only compressed my legs for 2-3 days?

Answer: Stockings & Sclerotherapy
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.
