I had sclerotherapy two months ago and I am left with these marks. Is this a scar or post inflammatory hyper pigmentation? What can I do to treat it?
Answer: Reducing stains from sclerotherapy These are hemosiderin and pigmentation stains. I would start with Melarase PM and Melapads followed by q switch laser. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

Answer: Sclerotherapy Thank you for your question in regards to sclerotherapy. Pigmentation is common after sclerotherapy treatments and can take up to a year to subside on its own. Although lasers can be used to help dissolve the pigment faster, it has only been two months post treatment. To be sure, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps.

Answer: Hyper pigmentation Post sclerotherapy hyperpigmentation can occur and usually resolves without any treatment over 6 months to a year. Your treatment was only 2 months ago and you have minimum discoloration. Give it time to resolve and avoid sun exposure over the darkened areas.
