If you suffer from varicose veins, then you know just how painful, irritating, and self-conscious they can make you feel. Not only can varicose veins prevent you from doing things like working out on a normal basis, but they can also prevent you from feeling confident enough to wear shorts or even sandals. Luckily, here at Westport Dermatology and Laser Center, we offer our patients the ability to zap away those nasty varicose veins with Laser Vein Removal. As a safe, fast, and easy procedure, laser vein removal will give you the best results possible. However, to ensure that you do in fact get those results, it’s important that you know what is entailed in the recovery process. This article will discuss three things that you should do while recovering from laser vein removal. Read on to learn more.

1.Wear Compression Stockings Directly following your laser vein removal procedure, you will be advised to wear some compression stockings over the area in which you received the treatment. These stockings will help with clotting, swelling, and will also leave you with an overall more comfortable experience. Your doctor will give you a pair of these compression stockings following the procedure, but you can also find them over-the-counter at most drugstores.

2. Continuous Moving Although you may think that it’s better to stay sedentary after having this procedure done, you should actually make sure that you are continually moving about. Whether you are taking a lot of small walks or a few larger walks throughout the day, make sure that you are getting the blood flowing through your body as you recover from laser vein removal.

3. Take an NSAID NSAIDs or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can be purchased over-the-counter or they can be prescribed by your dermatologist at Westport dermatology and Laser Center. By helping to reduce the inflammation in your legs and feet, taking an NSAID will help to give you relief following your laser procedure.

If you are consider getting laser vein removal done from Westport Dermatology and Laser Center, you can rest assured that you are in good hands. By following the recovery tips listed above, you can help speed up your recovery process and get to feeling like your usual self in no time.
