Laser Vein Removal Recovery Details

what to expect after a laser vein removal treatment

Laser Vein Removal Recovery

Laser vein removal is a quick, non-surgical treatment with minimal downtime, so most people return to their day right away. Right after treatment, the area may look slightly red or swollen, similar to a mild sunburn, and this usually settles within a few hours to a couple of days.

Aftercare

  • Apply a cool compress if the area feels warm
  • Avoid hot baths, saunas and strenuous exercise for the first day or two
  • Protect the area from the sun and apply broad-spectrum sunscreen
  • Avoid picking at any scabbing or crusting if it occurs

How Many Sessions Will You Need?

Some small veins respond after a single treatment, while others need a few sessions spaced several weeks apart for the best result. The number depends on the size, depth and number of veins being treated.

When Will Veins Fade?

Treated veins often begin to fade within a couple of weeks as the body reabsorbs them, with continued improvement over the following weeks. Dr. Weber will let you know what to expect for your specific treatment.
