What is the aftercare following treatment?
Pressure is applied to the treated vessels using graduated compression hosiery (support stockings). These are usually worn for seven to ten days following sclerotherapy and for three to four weeks following endovenous laser therapy. The stockings come in different styles, sizes and colors. Patients are able to return to normal daytime activities immediately afterwards. Patients are encouraged to walk for at least thirty minutes a day for the first few days following the procedures. Vigorous physical activities such as aerobic exercise are not advised.
