There really isn’t any preparation necessary for these procedures at L.A. Vein Center. You’ll need to wear compression stockings afterwards for one week, so you’ll want to purchase these beforehand. We’ll prescribe a muscle relaxant that you’ll need to take before your procedure. Since only local anesthesia is necessary, you don’t have to worry about fasting prior to your treatment. Because you had a muscle relaxant, you’ll need someone to drive you home from your treatment.
