Recovery and Results
Simple laser treatment involves no downtime. After the procedure, most patients can immediately return to work, exercise, and other daily activities. Your legs may have a slightly reddish appearance, but you should not feel any significant discomfort or inflammation. To ensure the best possible results, you should not expose your legs to large amounts of direct sunlight for several weeks. Compression garments can also help speed healing.
After endovenous treatment, you will be required to wear compression stockings for at least one week following treatment, but will be able to return to normal activities the same day. You will also come in for a follow-up appointment to assess the success of the procedure and see if simple laser therapy will be required for further results.
It can take several weeks and multiple procedures before you see the final effects of your laser treatment. The veins may change from dark blue to red, before slowly fading over subsequent weeks. After your treatment, you can have noticeably more youthful-looking legs, as well as a greater sense of freedom and self-confidence.
