Staining after Scleropathy.... any remedies to make it fade faster? I would prefer little to no invasive treatments. (photo)

Asked By:FLibrarian in Goodlettsville, TN

I was officially diagnosed with staining after my 2nd scleropathy treatment. She said time is the best healer. However I have a beach trip planned in May and was hoping to help move it along. I've read on here there's no tried/true remady. However, are there exercises I could do to help? Less sitting, more standing? What about warm compresses? Apple Cider vinegar? It's only on one leg. Some days it looks better than other days. The more natural the better!

Veins on breasts but have implants. Is Sclerotherapy okay?
John Landi, MD says:

Sclerotherapy is very safe with breast implants.  After 6 months you can safely undergo breast vein sclerotherapy.  I prefer foam sclerotherapy.  You should go to someone with experience injecting breast veins especially with an implant.  The technique is to stay superficial.
