Hydrate and Fuel Your Body

On the day of your spider vein therapy in Denver, drink plenty of water and eat a light meal. Proper hydration helps maintain blood pressure and makes your veins more accessible for treatment. Since our procedures are minimally invasive, you won't need downtime, but arriving nourished ensures you remain relaxed.

Skip the Lotion and Self-Tanner

For the sclerosing solution to work effectively, your skin must be clean. Avoid applying oils, moisturizers, or sunscreens to your legs for 24 hours before your appointment. Please discontinue self-tanning products at least one week prior; clear skin allows our specialists to map your reticular and spider veins with clinical precision.

Dress for Comfort

We apply local compression dressings immediately after your session. We suggest wearing loose-fitting shorts or a wide-legged skirt to your appointment. This ensures you can dress easily and head back to your day comfortably without irritating the treated areas.

Plan Your Compression Strategy

The secret to lasting results lies in post-treatment care. Have your compression stockings ready to wear immediately following your session. Consistent compression helps treated veins stay closed and fade faster, ensuring your legs feel light and healthy.
