Is the vein supposed to close down right after getting the injections or does it take a while to do so?
Answer: Sclerotherapy Thank you for your question in regards to sclerotherapy. The veins will begin to close down and you should see improvement within 8-10 weeks, as long as post-care instructions are followed and compression was worn. To be sure what is best for you, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps.

Answer: Sclerotherapy and what to expect Sclerotherapy involves an injection of a solution directly into those visible veins, and while they will begin to close immediately, full results won’t be seen until after a 12-16 weeks when the body has enough time to eat up of the vein.

Answer: Sclerotherapy: recovery and results It will take up to 2 months before you see full results. If necessary to treat again wait 2 months, no earlier. You should expect at least 50-75% improvement of overall appearance with each treatment. Most patients may need between 2 to 6 treatments. If there is no improvement, consider to be re-assessed for venous insufficiency including ultrasound of your legs by your board certified vein specialist.
