New broken capillaries a week after sclerotherapy. Is this normal?

June 19, 2014
Asked By:bunnybond in London, GB

I had sclerotherapy a week ago for a medium blue vein on my shin. Today I removed my stockings for a bath, I noticed that as well as bruising along the veins treated there are loads of new red & blue broken capillaries, is this normal? I know it's early days & healing can take a few months, but is it possible that these new veins will resolve & heal by themselves? I'm continuing to wear support stockings even though my surgeon said I could stop wearing them after a week.
