Posted under Sclerotherapy q&a

MD recommended bandages and ace wrap applied in!clinic remain on for 24hr, then move to compression hose, can I switch earlier?

I had sclerotherapy this afternoon and bandages/wrap placed at 3pm. They have been continually falling off and bunching up causing pain. I have adjusted them and rewrapped, but wonder if going to compression hose now rather than 24 hours post procedure will be a problem. I just don't feel like I am getting good all over compression.
