We would suggest starting the process early and planning your vein treatments many months before an event or vacation. It’s important to know that the treated areas often look worse before they improve. After the procedure, you will likely notice bruising, swelling, or discoloration in the treated veins, which is completely normal. This is part of the healing process.

For most patients, expect the treated areas to look worse for about 4-6 weeks before you start seeing noticeable improvement. The veins will gradually fade over several weeks to months, depending on the size and severity of the veins.
