I have been undergoing sclerotherapy for many years. I go once a year and have polidoconal injections and my legs look great for the summer. I have very weak veins, and I have found that if you have weak veins, you have to return for follow up treatments. I am extremely happy with the results. My doctor has recommended that I wear sheer support panty hose daily to prevent broken veins.

It has been over a week and my legs are doing great, and there is no pain whatsoever. Since my veins break so easily, I am going to continue to wear the heavy prescription panty hose as long as I can. My doctor said I could take them off at night. I actually return March 15th for a second session since I have quite a few spider veins. I think two sessions will be enough. I will then look forward to a spring and summer without those unsightly veins. I will do as my doctor advised and wear the lighter support hose when at home, shopping, etc.

Glad to hear your treatment went well. I imagine you will feel much better wearing shorts this summer! Will you need to wear the light hose during the summer at all?

Hi Beth, I will wear the light support hose this summer, especially when I am cleaning house or working out. As I said, I have always had very weak veins, so Dr. Craddock said if I wear the hose as much as possible, they won't break as much. So, to have nice legs in the summer, it is worth it too me. I usually have to return every year for a repeat of my sessions, sometime one session will do. I am in hopes if I really take care of my legs and wear the light hose, I won't have to return...at least for a couple of years! I have found that most people that have really bad veins, they need to have ongoing treatments to maintain their legs. For those with just a few veins, they may never have to return for treatment. When I read Real Self and see that some people did not receive good results. They should try someone with more experience. Sclerotherapy does work...I am walking proof. I wish I had taken a before photo to send to you. Thanks, you have a great web site that I refer to everyone. I never attempt any new cosmetic treatment without first reading your site.

Thanks for the info! You are an inspiration to me as I need to address this issue myself! My kids asked me why my legs have bruises on them! Let us know how your second session goes on March 15th!

It has been a little over seventeen days since I had my first treatment, and my legs are almost completely healed. I will return for my second treatment on March 14th. My doctor will inject any smaller veins remaining. I have been wearing the light support hose during the day per my doctor's request. Keep in mind, I have very weak veins, so I have to take special care of my legs. I am very excited that I will be able to capris and shorts this summer without embarrassment.

It was time to finally have treatment!

I am starting this review one month post-op treatment. Ever since I was pregnant 22 years ago I have hated my legs! I developed and ugly long bumpy varicose vein on the front of my left thigh that traveled down into my calf. Over the years I started to get new ones and then I had a long ugly one appear on my ...

Im really nervous if this is perm...
