Frequently Asked Questions
How many sessions are typically needed?
Most patients require 2-4 sessions spaced about a month apart to achieve their desired results, though this varies by individual.
Is the treatment permanent?
Treated veins that fade away are permanently destroyed. However, sclerotherapy cannot prevent new veins from forming in the future.
Can I exercise after treatment?
We recommend walking immediately to encourage circulation, but you should avoid strenuous workouts or heavy lifting for 2-3 days.
