When can I go back to my normal activity after treatment?

You can return to work the next day, but will be asked to walk and avoid sitting for long periods. Vigorous exercise and weight lifting are discouraged for the first week after treatment. Long periods of immobility such as those that occur with flights and long car rides are discouraged for a couple of weeks post treatment. Sun protection after ambulatory phlebectomy and sclerotherapy is advised to reduce the chance of skin discoloration.
