This is my third treatment for my varicose veins. I have never had this side effect before. Now I would like to get multiple opinions on this because I am worried.

Answer: Bruising after sclerotherapy Thank you for your question and photo. Bruising can occur after sclerotherapy of spider veins. The veins treated will look worse before they look better. I recommend wearing compression hose after your treatment for approximately 2 weeks. If you do not see improvement in this area in the next 2 weeks I would recommend following up with your board certified plastic surgeon. Best of luck to you!
