What to expect after your spider vein treatment:

 

After your spider vein treatment

In addition to the compression tape applied during the procedure, tight-fitting support hose may be prescribed to guard against blood clots and to promote healing. The tape and cotton balls can be removed after 48 hours. However, you may be instructed to wear the support hose for 72 hours or more.

 

 

What can I expect after the procedure?
You may experience temporary itching or cramping at the injection site. You will be asked to wear a compression wrap for several days. During this time you must keep the area dry. Your doctor may prescribe support hose to be worn for several weeks. This helps to keep the treated vein collapsed. It also reduces the likelihood of blood clots.


What is the recovery period like?
Although you should avoid activities that put pressure on the treated area (such as heavy lifting or jogging) for a few days, your doctor will probably suggest a regular walking program to increase circulation and promote healing.

When the compression wrap is removed, you will notice bruising and discoloration. This will gradually fade over a period of several weeks.

 

What is the long-term outcome like for most people?
Most patients report a high degree of satisfaction with the procedure and relief at no longer having to hide unsightly veins. The treated areas are noticeably clearer and in most cases the skin continues to improve with each successive treatment.

 

 

Getting back to normal after spider vein treatments

Although you probably won't want to wear any leg baring fashions for about two weeks, your activity will not be significantly limited in any other way from sclerotherapy treatment. You will be encouraged to walk to prevent clots from forming in the deep veins of the legs. However, during the period of time to complete your treatment program, prolonged sitting and standing should be avoided, as should squatting, heavy weight lifting and "pounding" type exercises, including jogging. A one-month healing interval must pass before you may have your second series of injections in the same site. After each treatment, you will notice further improvement of your legs' appearance.

 

 

The new you!

Most patients are pleased with the difference sclerotherapy makes. The skin of your legs will appear younger, clearer and more healthy-looking. If you've been wearing skirts and slacks to hide your spider veins, you'll now able to broaden your fashion horizons. Often, patients are surprised at the dramatic difference in appearance between a treated leg and an untreated one.
