A member asked:
I had scolotherapy treatment for my varicose veins but the doctor said it is not necessary to wear tight stockings after because of the hot weather?

Compression: Compression after sclerotherapy is recommended for 48-72 hrs.

Compression: There was a time when post sclerotherapy I recommended wearing compression for 6 weeks. Over the years I have realized that this is just not necessary. I recommend wearing compression for only 48 hours post sclerotherapy and I have seen no difference in the results with wearing stockings for 6 weeks or 2 days. Even in hot weather, 2 days can be tolerated.
