It is not uncommon to experience some cramping in the legs for the first day or two after the injections. This temporary problem usually doesn’t require medication.
You should be aware that your treated veins will look worse before they begin to look better. When the compression dressings are removed, you will notice bruising and reddish areas at the injection sites. The bruises will diminish within one month. In many cases, there may be some residual brownish pigmentation which may take up to a year to completely fade.
One month after the first treatment, spider veins are distinctly lighter, yet still somewhat visible.
A few days after the procedure, you probably do not want to wear any leg baring fashions for about two weeks, your activity will not be significantly limited in any other way from sclerotherapy treatment.
The doctor will encourage you to take regular walks to prevent clots from forming in the deep veins of the legs. As simple as it may sound, this is very critical. Clots developed in the deeper veins can cause extreme pain and can cause serious health complications. So this is not something to be set aside. Moreover, during the period of time to complete your treatment program, prolonged sitting and standing should be avoided, as should squatting, heavy weight lifting and “pounding” type exercises, including jogging.
A thirty days healing interval must pass before you may have your second series of injections in the same affected area. After every treatment, you will observe further improvement of your legs’ appearance.
