Pre/Post Vein Treatments

Pre-Treatment Care:

  1. Consultation: Have a thorough consultation with your provider to discuss your medical history and treatment goals.

  2. Avoid Blood Thinners: Refrain from taking blood thinners, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or certain herbal supplements, for at least 48 hours before your treatment.

  3. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your treatment to help your veins be more responsive.

  4. Sun Protection: Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least two weeks before the procedure to reduce the risk of complications.

  5. No Skincare Products: Avoid applying any lotions, creams, or products on the treatment area the day of your session.

Post-Treatment Care:

  1. Ice and Elevate: Apply ice packs to the treated area and elevate your legs to reduce swelling and discomfort.

  2. Compression: Wear compression stockings as recommended by your provider to promote healing and improve circulation.

  3. Avoid Strenuous Activity: Refrain from vigorous exercise or heavy lifting for at least a week post-treatment.

  4. Sun Protection: Continue to protect the treated area from sun exposure for several weeks to prevent pigmentation changes.

  5. Follow-Up: Attend any follow-up appointments to monitor your healing and results, and discuss any concerns with your provider.

Contraindications
