I would wait two to three days after sclerotherapy to ensure that the medicine had sufficient time to close down the veins.

Yeah that should not be a problem or cause any ill effect on the sclerotherapy sessions.

If your treatment included foamed sclerotherapy I would recommend abstaining for 24 hrs but otherwise there should be no restriction.

You can have sex after sclerotherapy. My only recommendations post-sclerotherapy are to wear compression for 48 hours and avoid hot baths or hot tubs for 48 hours. Also, you wan to avoid sun exposure for at least 10 days, and longer if possible.

Sex after sclerotherapy is OK. Excessive friction or trauma directly to the treated areas, however, could cause adverse effects.
