I have had 3 sclerotherapy treatments with each being about a month apart. My last treatment was July 23rd. I am not pleased with the results. Some places look better, but some places look much worse. I have had laser treatments in the past and feel like it works much better. I would like to get a laser treatment soon. How long do I need to wait?
