I know you can get bruising and darkening of the veins for a while. I was just wondering how long roughly until I'd be able to wear a skirt again after having it done? Is it two weeks or more like six weeks?

Answer: Sclerotherapy and stockings I think that 1 week of high grade compression is all that most people will tolerate in Florida, California and Texas. In colder climates, especially in winter months, we recommend stockings for 3 months and we have found that patients have better cosmetic outcomes with prolonged compression. I recommend that patients use sunblock (Spectrase) and use skin brightening creams such as Scleroquin to reduce post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Answer: Varies. Following sclerotherapy there may be some associated bruising and bluish to reddish discoloration of the treated veins. An average amount of time for bruising is about 10 days but this will vary between people from no bruising to 3 to 4 weeks to resolve. Compression stockings post treatment will help to keep the bruising to a minimum.
