What happens after treatment?

You will be able to resume normal activities after treatment, in fact we advise you to take a 20 minute walk immediately after treatment.

The reaction of the skin and veins after sclerotherapy treatments varies from person to person. There will be temporary redness and puffiness, which may last from a few days to a week. The veins will be more noticeable immediately after treatment, this is normal and a good sign that the treatment is working. Occasionally there may be mild bruising, and a very rare complication is the development of a small ulcer at the treatment site within 2 weeks of treatment, due to the escape of solution through fragile veins. This is more common in smokers. The veins start to fade over the next 6 – 8 weeks, the fading process is gradual.
