• To optimize your results, we ask that you purchase compression stockings prior to your treatment and bring them with you to the appointment. We recommend compression stockings with 20-30 mm Hg compression. Pantyhose style (waist-highs) work the best.

• You should not have a tan at the time of your treatment. Avoid sun exposure on the legs for 1 month prior to your sclerotherapy treatment.

• If possible, shower and thoroughly wash your legs with antibacterial soap prior to the procedure.

• Do not use moisturizers on the day of your treatment.

• Do not shave legs on the day of the procedure.

• Wear shorts or a skirt for the treatment.

• Your legs will be bandaged with cotton balls and an adhesive compression tape for the first 24 hours. Please let us know if you have allergies or sensitivities to either adhesives or latex.

• No aspirin or blood-thinning products (fish oil, vitamin E, ibuprofen, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) for 7-9 days before the procedure (check with your physician first if you must be on these medications).
