Vein treatments have certainly come a long way. Thanks to innovations in technology and treatment, it’s easier than ever to free yourself from troubling vein concerns like varicose or spider veins. Performed by our renowned surgeon Dr. Surya Challa, most of our vein treatments, from sclerotherapy to radiofrequency ablation, are minimally-invasive and involve minimal downtime.
To help you get the best possible results, here are three musts for ensuring a smooth recovery for many of our vein treatments:
Compression
Following your treatment, we will outfit you with compression legwear to help speed your healing. Compression legwear refers to tight-fitting elastic stockings which can help your body heal by applying pressure to the legs, reducing the size of veins and increasing blood flow.
Walking
Getting up and moving gently with short walks, or periodically changing your position from sitting to standing, encourages healthy blood flow by helping your body redirect blood flow to healthy veins.
Mix it up—gently
While you may feel great, it’s important to remember that your legs are healing on the inside, so be sure to take it easy in the week or two following your treatment. Avoiding intense exercise during this time is key. You can promote a rapid recovery by taking leisurely walks and avoiding long periods of sitting or standing.
