You may be required to wear compression stockings to help keep pressure on the veins, which will reduce bruising and help keep the treated veins closed. Bruises around the treated areas usually disappear after the first week. A tan or brownish pigment may persist for 6 to 8 weeks when larger veins are involved. Occasionally, small, harmless clots can develop at the injection site. These can easily be removed in our Los Angeles plastic surgery office to facilitate healing.
Los Angeles sclerotherapy patients are generally encouraged to resume normal activities immediately. We do ask that you refrain from vigorous activities for the first 24 hours. Walking is encouraged because it increases blood flow through the other veins. Although your final results may not be apparent for several months, most patients experience a 60% to 80% improvement. Instead of, or in addition to, sclerotherapy our patients often choose Cutera CoolGlide® laser treatments as a safe and effective non-surgical treatment option for some spider veins and varicose veins. At your private consultation, your skin care consultant will help you determine which treatment plan will work best for you.
