Post-procedure care is vital to achieving the best results from your vein treatment. Proper adherence to these instructions will help minimize discomfort and expedite your recovery. Below are the essential steps to follow immediately after your procedure.

What to Do After Your Vein Treatment Procedure?

Bruising and Swelling: Some bruising and swelling are normal and should subside within a week.
Minor Discomfort: Mild discomfort at the treatment site is common but should gradually improve.

What to Expect During the First Week After a Vein Procedure?

What to Do One Month After Your Vein Treatment Procedure?

At one month post-procedure, it’s essential to continue following your doctor’s recommendations:

Compression Wear: Continue using compression stockings as directed.
Activity Level: Gradually resume more vigorous activities, but consult your doctor before engaging in high-impact exercises.
Symptoms: Mild discomfort or tenderness may persist. Contact us if you notice any unusual symptoms.
