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

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.
