Recovery time depends on the treatment type you have had and the amount of veins you have had treated. Recovery from EVLA (Endovenous Laser Ablation) and sclerotherapy is generally quick, with minimal downtime.
After EVLA, most patients can resume light activities, such as walking, on the same day, but full recovery typically takes 1 to 2 weeks.
For sclerotherapy, recovery is even faster, with most people returning to normal activities immediately, though heavy exercise should be avoided for 1 to 2 days. The treated veins may take a few weeks to several months to fully fade, and compression stockings are often worn for up to two weeks to support healing​.
