Is it all right to shower the day after a Sclerotherapy treatment? When can I remove the bandages?

I use compression hose for three days to three weeks and tell patients it is fine to shower without them on.  So for my patients they can shower the day after sclerotherapy.

This will depend upon the treating physician. It may depend on what type of bandages your doctor prescribed. Typically any post-procedure dressing is removed the following morning, and patients may take their first shower at that time. You should contact your vein doctor and have them review their specific post-instructions with you. But I don’t use bandage, and only use compression stockings.
