The procedure takes approximately 15 mins to 1 hour depending on the size of the area and the number of veins being treated. Depending on the type of solution used, you may experience mild itching along the vein. This itching normally lasts 15 minutes to an hour, however, it may last 1 to 2 days. A few patients may experience mild to moderate pain and some bruising, usually at the site of the injection. The veins may be tender to the touch after treatment, and an uncomfortable sensation may run along the vein route. This pain is usually temporary, in most cases lasting 1 to 7 days.
Activity can be resumed immediately after the vein treatment and medical compression hose may be recommended depending on the severity of the veins.
Treated veins may lighten gradually over several months, with 3-5 sessions as the average with a minimum of two treatments required for most patients.
