What can I expect following my Sclerotherapy treatment?
Exercise is essential for treatment effectiveness. Walk 20 – 30 minutes daily at a brisk pace. Avoid high impact aerobics and heavy weight training for 1 week. There is no need to modify your normal activities. You can return to work immediately. Avoid sitting or standing in one place for prolonged periods. Avoid hot tubs, saunas, and leg massages. Showers are better than tub baths. Sun exposure is NOT recommended for 5 days. Wear sunscreen when outdoors. If your legs are uncomfortable after treatment, walking will help. A mild analgesic may also be taken if needed. (Aspirin, Tylenol, Advil or whatever you take for mild headaches and pains is fine.
