Pre / Post Care for Vascular Treatment
Day of Treatment:
- Please arrive promptly for your procedure.
- You may apply ice or cold packs to the area 15-30 minutes prior to your treatment. (optional)
- It is highly recommended to purchase a jar of numbing cream and apply to the affected area 45-60 minutes before treatment. (available for sale at We Laser)
- If facial spider veins are being treated: Ladies DO NOT put on any facial makeup, lipstick or moisturizers after washing. Men: please shave well.
- If leg spider veins are being treated: Bring loose-fitting shorts to wear during the treatment.
- DO NOT tan (including tanning beds, self tanning lotions, spray tan, and stay out of the sun)
- DO NOT utilize any medications that could be blood thinning for 48 hours prior to treatment. Medications such as: Aspirin, ibuprofen or other anti-inflammatory.
- DO NOT utilize any medications or herbs that could be photo sensitive. Please notify us of any vitamins, herbs, or medications that you are talking so that we are aware if we need to re-schedule your appointment to better serve you.
After Your Procedure:
- The treated areas may turn red and welt within minutes after treatment. Start utilizing antibiotic ointment 2 to 3 times daily for a minimum of 3 to 5 days.
- If your legs are being treated, a stocking or ace bandages may be necessary, for optimal effectiveness for 1-2 weeks. Your Registered Nurse will instruct you if these are needed. If treating leg veins, DO NOT shave for a minimum of 3 days.
- Tiny “scratch marks” may develop the day after treatment and will persist for 1-4 weeks. DO NOT PICK OR SCRATCH THEM. If blister or crust develops, you should call the Registered Nurse at We Laser where you will be instructed to apply antibiotic ointment to the area.
- Avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, or any pressure for 1 week. No whirlpool baths, or hot baths for 1 week..
- Walking does improve circulation and will improve the outcome of your treatment. It would be advisable to walk 1 to 2 miles each day on a treadmill or outdoors after 4 or 5 days of treatment.
- SPF 30 or greater should be worn to protect the skin from incidental sun exposure two weeks before and two weeks after procedure. Direct sunlight on the skin must be avoided until entire course of treatment is complete.
- To help prevent recurrence of your leg spider veins, we recommend wearing panty hose for support hose.
