What happens on the day of a thread vein treatment?
On the day of your thread veins treatment, preparation is simple. In this video, Mr. Ahmed Shalan explains injections, bandaging and recovery guidance.
Transcript
On the day of treatment we recommend that you have good breakfast, drink plenty of water, wear comfortable clothing.
The actual procedure takes between 30 minutes to 45 minutes.
It includes multiple injection using extremely fine needle.
Most of the patients relate that very well.
And after the treatment we will have to bandage your legs.
You won't be able to drive on the day of the procedure and for a couple of days afterwards.
It's very important to stay active and well hydrated.
And if we arrange further treatment session on the same leg, it needs to be after six weeks.
Give time for the current treatment to work and to settle down and to see what else needs to be addressed.
