Walking is encouraged right after sclerotherapy appointments. It helps promote blood flow.
You’ll need to wear support hosiery. These types of garments help compress the treated blood vessels. Often, we will recommend heavy compression stockings over other options. You can bring your post-treatment garments to your appointment to make sure they are adequate.
Following your sclerotherapy injections, you should avoid ibuprofen, aspirin, and other anti-inflammatory drugs for at least two days. It’s safe to use Tylenol if you need it.
Other things to avoid include hot baths, saunas or whirlpools, and hot compresses. Shower with tepid water. If you want to wash the injection sites, be sure to reach for a mild cleanser.
It’s also important to avoid direct exposure to sunlight. Sun exposure can cause hyperpigmentation. Cover the treated area with protective clothing or sunscreen.
You’ll be able to drive yourself home after sclerotherapy. It’s also safe to resume most of your daily activities. However, you should follow our guidelines and call us with any questions.
