before Treatment
- Remove all make-up & moisturizers from thetreatment site.
- Avoid Flying (can cause increase in pressure) for 48 hours after the treatment.
- You should not be pregnant or breastfeeding to receive treatment.
- History of Cold Sores or Blisters should be pre-treated with anti-viral medications.
- We cannot treat over areas with tattoos.
- Avoid aspirin or other blood thinning drugs (vitamin E, Ginkgo Biloba), ibuprofen, or arthritis medication for two days before and aftertreatment as these medications can cause bruising.
- Avoid alcohol and do not smoke for two days before and after treatment.
- Do not apply lotions to legs before appointment.
- Eat a light meal/snack one hour before treatment.
- Bring loose fitting shorts/pants to wear after treatment.
- If you are feeling under the weather or developing a fever you must reschedule.
post treatment
- Sometimes you may feel warm tingling, a sting like sensation to the treated area. Ice, chilled gel-packs or chilled hydro-gel pads may be applied post treatment to increase patient comfort and provide increased epidermal protection.
- The veins may have an urticarial reaction aftertreatment. This is common and will diminish more quickly with the application of a mild-potency topical corticosteroid.
- Portions of larger vessels will sometimes darken and become stiff and feel tender for an extended period after a treatment.
- For larger leg veins, some physicians say the use of compression stockings (30-40 mm Hg Pressure) for up to five days after treatment may increase patient comfort and help reduce bruising.
- If crusting occurs, an antibiotic ointment or lubricating cream may be recommended.
- Post-inflammatory hyper-pigmentation is a common response (especially with darker skin types) to vascular laser treatments and tends to resolve over time.
- Immediately upon leaving the office go for a brisk 15-minute walk.
- You may resume your normal daily activities immediately, but avoid strenuous aerobic exercise until further advised.
- You are encouraged to wear your compression stockings as much as you can following your treatment. The more you wear your stockings, the better your results. You may remove your stockings to wash them, but while they are being washed, keep your legs elevated as much as possible.
- Take Extra Strength Tylenol for pain. AVOID ASPIRIN, ADVIL, OR IBUPROFEN. These tend to thin blood and can lead to excessive bruising.
- If you experience any severe reactions such as profound pain, intense itching, redness or fever, please contact your practitioner.
- Avoid hot conditions such as saunas, Jacuzzis, or hot showers for 7-10 days after treatment.
follow up
The recommended time interval between treatments is 4-6 weeks, depending on the rate of clearance following each treatment. Larger reticular vessels can take three months to resolve and should not be re-treated before then. Consistent repeated treatments will produce best resolution of leg veins.
