I didn't wear compression stockings the first night after sclerotherapy, will the procedure still work?

aly3425
I had sclerotherapy three days ago and was told to wear the stockings for at least three days but take them off at night... Reading everything it seems like I should be wearing them for 7 days/24h a day... I've been wearing them none stop now because I work very long hours serving... But I'm nervous that my vein will come back since I didn't wear the stockings the first night... I also had one large damaged vein removed last... Im only 25 so I don't have varicose veins, yet at least...
