What can I expect after sclerotherapy in terms of recovery and downtime? Will I need to take time off of work?

There is no downtown time after sclerotherapy treatments. In fact, I strongly encourage my sclerotherapy patients to walk and remain active after their sclerotherapy treatment.

Immediately after
treatment, patients are encouraged to walk, avoid hot saunas, sunbathing, long
air travel, hot baths or heavy exercise.  Areas that have been treated will look noticably bruised but will heal in 2-3 weeks.#Aschleratreatments    #legveintreatments   #Schlerotherapytreatments

Asclera works by damaging the endothelium
of the cells lining the inside of blood vessels. This causes blood platelets
and cellular debris to attach to the lining of the vessels; eventually,
cellular debris and platelets cause the blood vessel to clot. Over time, the
clotted vein will be replaced with tissue.Having said this, the treated areas will look slightly worse before they look better, due to the injection sites and minimal bruising.  We advise the use of compression tape or support hose for 48-72 hours after treatment, to avoid hot baths and saunas and to resume light exercise and walking .#Schlerotherapyrecoverytimes     #legveintreatments     #Ascleralegveins

We encourage pts to wear compression stockings during the first 24 hrs after treatment and then for 8 hours during waking hours over the next 5 days.  It is not necessary to take time off from work.

Most people go back to work in support hose, compression garments (not department store brand) for which you should be measured, after spider veins are injected. If however, you are having larger veins done, then the physician will tell you your restrictions.
