Things To Avoid After Boise Foam Sclerotherapy

People with varicose often tend to choose foam sclerotherapy to enhance the body’s appearance. Foam sclerotherapy as a varicose vein treatment is a non-invasive process as ultrasound is used as guidance for the complete closure of the veins. This will make the highlighted veins less noticeable and shrink with time. The method is also effective for making the varicose veins vanish entirely.

Having said that, foam sclerotherapy includes a non-invasive procedure, and there is no possibility of post-treatment complications. This makes the patient restore their daily activities on the very day of the treatment. But this doesn’t mean that minimum self-care is not recommended. One should avoid several things, especially after foam sclerotherapy treatment, to expect a desirable and steady recovery.

Abstain From Hot Water:

One of the essential things that one needs to avoid after sclerotherapy is enjoying a hot tub or a sauna. Hot water will affect the treatment negatively, causing skin exfoliation or severe irritation. It might also result in clogged pores which will be responsible for skin infections in the future. Therefore, patients who underwent sclerotherapy should stay away from hot baths or showers.

Limit Daily Exercises:

If one is habitual for intense workouts or exercises, after the foam sclerotherapy, this needs to be limited to walking. The production of a lot of sweat as a result of jogging or heavy exercises would shift the bacteria to the affected area, which has been recently treated and cause irritation or, in the worst cases, infection. However, this needs to be maintained for a brief span of time, only 48 to 72 hours after the treatment. One can go back to the previous workout routine after this period.

Avoid The Use Of painkillers:

It is pretty normal for the patient to feel mild pain as a result of any medical treatment. Foam sclerotherapy is not an exception. But one should avoid taking painkillers or other similar medications such as Ibuprofen. These medications consist of drugs that might lead to excess bleeding or bruising. It is always recommended to consult a doctor to avoid serious side effects from the intake of any improper medications.

Final Thoughts:

However, suppose one is suffering from spider veins or varicose veins. In that case, it is essential to consult a doctor in the first place who will advocate the best treatment after speculating on the health condition of the patient and also guide one throughout the treatment procedure and the final recovery.
