Yes, wearing compression stockings after varicose vein treatment is typically recommended. Compression stockings apply gentle pressure to your legs, which helps improve blood flow, reduce swelling, and prevent the formation of new varicose veins.

They are especially important in the days and weeks following treatment, as they support the healing process and reduce the risk of complications such as blood clots or deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The duration for which you need to wear compression stockings depends on the type of treatment and your individual condition. Your doctor will provide specific instructions on how long to wear them, which could range from a few days to several weeks.

Consistent use of compression stockings as prescribed can enhance the effectiveness of the treatment and contribute to long-term success in managing varicose veins.
