Here are some general guidelines on what to avoid after sclerotherapy: Strenuous exercise: Avoid high-impact exercises like running, sprinting, jogging, and long-distance running for at least two weeks after the procedure. Light exercises like walking, hiking, yoga, and flexibility training are generally fine. Prolonged inactivity: While it’s important to avoid strenuous exercise, it’s equally important to remain active. Take frequent walks during the first few days after the procedure to encourage proper circulation. Direct sun exposure: Avoid direct sun exposure on the treated area for a month after the procedure. If you need to be in the sun, use a high SPF sunscreen. Hot tubs and Jacuzzi: Avoid hot tubs and Jacuzzi for about a week after the procedure. Compression stockings: Wear compression stockings as directed by your doctor. Over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications: Avoid taking over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications like aspirin and ibuprofen for 48 hours after the procedure. Avoid hot yoga for about a week after the procedure.
