No doubt there will likely be some degree of bruising or pinpoint needle marks after injection therapy with Aschlera . We suggest maintaining the compression tape used during the procedure or to wear support stockings for 3-4 days afterwards. The use of ARNICA is useful in speeding up the healing process as well!#Aschleratherapy #spiderveintreatments #Schlerotherapytreatments
The best advise for quick recovery after injection therapy of any kind including sclerotherapy, is to avoid over-counter-medications and supplements that might increase the risk of bleeding. These include : baby aspirin, Ibuprofen ( Motrin, Advil) , Aleeve, omega 3s, fish oil and flax seeds. We also recommend the use of a homeopathic supplement --ARNICA-- that can be taken orally 3 days before and 3 days after treatment to minimize bruising and optimize healing! Compression tapes or support hose also assist in healing#Legveinrecovery #Ascleratreatments #recoveryafterschlerotherapy
Studies have shown that wearing compression stockings for longer periods of time helps with the healing process after Sclerotherapy.
Thank you for your question. Bruising can last up to 2 weeks especially if an individual is taking any blood thinners. I would follow the post care instructions such as wearing compression stockings to help speed up the healing process. Sometimes laser may be an option for bruising, though it will all resole with time. I hope this helps.
It depends on whether there is swelling, bruising, or marks from the needle injection sites. Everyone is very different in how they heal. I would recommend that you follow-up with your physician to discuss your concerns.
Depending on which part of the healing process you are referring to, it's difficult to suggest ways to help you recover more quickly. If you are still early on in the healing process, some bruising and swelling is to be expected and will resolve on its own over time. Wearing medical graduated compression stockings properly fit by a sclerotherapy nurse will help speed healing. Also, during the first week it is good to stay active by getting up and walking around while wearing the compression stockings. If you're worried that your recovery process is taking longer than expected, it's a good idea to follow up with the physician who performed your treatment.
Bruising is very common following sclerotherapy for both spider and varicose veins. Post treatment compression therapy will help to diminish the bruising. Arnica montana is often used by my patients to decrease bruising and discoloration. It doesn't work for all but many swear by it. There is another cream called auriderm which has also worked for decreasing bruising. Finally apply Vit E or aloe applied topically had been shown to improve any inflammation.
Accelerated healing for pigmentation is best accomlished by wearing stockings religiously for at least 3 months and also placing cremes to reduce hyerpigmentation - hyerigmentation is the most common issue that patients note after sclerotherapy and laser treatments for spider veins, reticular veins and varicose veins. Sometimes, it takes up to 3 cycles of skin growth, 180 days each, for the hyperpigmentation to fade, if at all, without adjunctive therapy:There are some topical creams that we use for patients with hyperpigmentation from a myriad of causes in the legs: from venous insufficiency, following wounding, following surgery, following sclerotherapy ...We recommend Sclerovase and Scleroquin plus topical creams.You can add retinoid RR Complex Retinoid Repair Cream as well. Scler-x post inflammatory hyperigmentation relief complex is a great supplement to take as well. See link below.
Difficult to answer this question without knowing exactly what kind of symptoms you are experiencing. Typically, patients experience mild soreness and bruising in the areas treated and then temporary discoloration. Generally speaking, I recommend wearing compression hose and elevating the legs when possible. If you are concerned about your healing, I recommend you consult with the physician who did the treatment.
Wear compression for as long as the therapist recommends. This keeps areas from developing brown spots and localized clots. Report any non-healing injection sites.
Whenever there is pain in the extremity following sclerotherapy or any vein procedure, re-evaluation is warranted by the injecting physician and also Duplex venous ultrasonography to make sure there is no deep vein thrombosis.
Thank you for your question. Yes, this is a normal side effect of the KTP laser. The vessels can change from a red to a more bluish appearance which is a good response to the treatment. The vessels will slowly dissipate over the next few days and should improve or disappear. Keep the areas sun...
It is completely unnecessary to treat these varicose veins in the froearms or hands. They are normal and they are more pronounced in those that have low body fat and who are muscular. They do not need treatment and DO NOT cause numbness or tingling in the hands or fingers. You may have...
