Sclerotheraphy and Sun Exposure?

July 3, 2011
Asked By:melana

I had sclerotherapy 4 weeks ago on both of my legs and was wearing compression stockings 24/7 for 3 weeks and still wearing them some due to little swelling in ankles. Results of the sclerotherapy is amazing, about 80-90% of spiderveins gone. I went to the beach yesterday for 6 hours in the sun with 50 sublock applied. Now I can see some of the veins again and seems spotted in areas. Is this normal? I thought 4 weeks out of sun is enough time. Will it go away?
