Since all our treatments are minimally invasive, patients can walk out and drive home immediately after their treatment. For medical vein treatments, recovery time is minimal – most patients return to work the same day. However, we advise patients to avoid vigorous exercise such as weight lifting for a week following their treatment, wear compression socks for a few days, and elevate their legs in the evening to aid blood circulation. For patients who receive cosmetic laser vein treatment or sclerotherapy, there is no downtime at all but we recommend limiting direct sun exposure for 2-3 weeks after treatment.
