Are There Any Products That Should Be Avoided After Undergoing Sclerotherapy?

there are really no true restrictions on what you can use in terms of creams, lotions, self-tanners etc.  However, because the skin may be red, itchy and irritated post injection, one should  avoid any perfumed heavy creams.  Ideally you want to use mild products such as neutrogina or aveno. 

I am fairly cautious after treatment so my standard protocol involves 7 days of wearing compression stockings, avoiding strenuous impact exercise and staying out of hot tubs and bath tubs.  At the same time encouraging at least 1/2 hour of walking per day and the application of Traumeel day after bathing to decrease inflammation and bruising.  I follow up with my patients at 1 week, 3 weeks and 6 weeks.
