When Can Normal Exercise Resume After Sclerotherapy?

I use Sclerotherapy for spider veins and reticular veins.  Spider veins are the small reddish or purplish veins and the reticular veins are the bluish green veins that are under the skin.  In my practice, we wrap the legs for 24 hours, then have the patient wear compression stocking for 2 weeks and minimize exertion for the first 24 hours only.  After 24 hours you can resume all activity.  

The best part of doing Sclerotherapy is the quick recovery and limited restrictions!   Patients are advised to walk and resume light to  normal exercises within 24 hours.  After treatments, tape or  compression stockings can provide comfort  and minimize bruising.#Scherotherapytreatments   #legveintreatments   #Ascleratreatsveins

Benefits of Sclerotherapy is the quick recovery and limited restrictions!  It is advisable  to walk the day of treatment and then resume light to normal exercises within 24 hours. #Aschleratreatsveins   #legveintreatments    #recoveryveintime

I encourage patients to not do any strenuous physical activity for at least a few days after sclerotherapy treatment.  It is fine to do some walking.  

In our practice, we do not have patients rest after sclerotherapy, nor is recovery time ever necessary. Sclerotherapy does not stop you from resuming normal activities! We actually encourage our patients to return to daily activity immediately and to walk as much as possible.

You can excercise immediately after your schlerotherapy treatment for your legs. In fact, I recommend that patients walk as much as possible for 2 weeks after the treatment to allow the medication to flow through the veins.
