We first scan a person's legs to map out the anatomy of the veins that underlie the skin. This approach avoids the risks of wound infection and anesthesia, time away from work or play, formation of scars and the expense associated with surgery. This is dependent upon the severity and extent of each case. A consultation is needed to estimate the amount and type of treatment necessary to treat your particular vein problem. Typically, symptoms get better first.
Healing continues on for several weeks following the last treatment visit.
Most insurance plans cover medically necessary vein treatment. At the time of your initial evaluation, this issue will be addressed. Swelling of the injection sites or of the feet or ankles improve within a couple of days. Normally these will improve on their own and leave no telltale signs. Bruising is common and usually fades away within a week or two.
