I had Sclerotherapy done a week ago on spider veins by a vascular surgeon. The rest of my veins are healing pretty well except this area looks bad to me. Is this matting?
Answer: Spider veins and sclerotherapy Matting (treated areas may cause micro veins appear) is a known side effect that can be treated with another sclerotherapy session and it is different from what you show in the photos. Normally, after sclerotherapy, it will take 2 months before you see complete healing from treatment and also full results. Don't be concern if your veins look worse before they look better, this is normal and expected. However, if you are concern you should follow up with the vein specialist to make sure you are properly healing and there are no complications from the treatment.

Answer: Matting or hyperpigmentation after sclerotherapy This is not matting. This is hyperpigmentation following sclerotherapy.You need to use some adjunctive measures after sclerotherapy to reduce post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. it is those that don't follow such instructions immediately following sclerotherapy, starting on day1 (next day) that seem to get retained hyperpigmentation. I recommend 2 creams: Scleroquin plus and Sclerovase and also Scler-X supplement to reduce post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (see link below) as well as compression stockings for at least 2 weeks.
