How should I prepare for laser spider vein reduction?
Consult with a specialist: Before undergoing laser spider vein reduction, it’s required to consult with one of our providers. They will be able to evaluate your condition and determine if laser therapy is the best treatment option for you.
Avoid sun exposure: It’s important to avoid sun exposure for at least four weeks before the procedure, as tanned skin can increase the risk of side effects and complications.
Stop using certain medications: Some medications, such as blood thinners and certain supplements, can increase the risk of bleeding and bruising. Your provider will let you know what medications you should stop taking before the procedure.
Shave the area: You will be asked to shave the area to be treated before the procedure, so you don’t have to worry about it.
Wear comfortable clothing: Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing on the day of the procedure, as the treated area may be tender and swollen afterward.
Follow the post-treatment instructions: Your specialist will provide you with post-treatment instructions, such as how to care for the treated area and when to schedule a follow-up appointment. It’s important to follow these instructions carefully to ensure the best possible results.
