Vein Treatment: How Many Visits Will You Really Need?

If you're considering vein treatment, you're probably wondering: how many appointments will this take?

It's a valid question, and the answer isn't a simple one-size-fits-all. While about 60% of our patients see us for 10-15 visits, several factors influence the total number.

Here's a breakdown:

• Severity and Extent: Painful varicose veins in multiple leg regions require more procedures.

• Vein Size: Larger veins (especially over 6-7mm) typically need more treatment sessions than smaller ones (3-4mm).

• Vein Complexity: Complex branching patterns mean more access points are needed for the sclerosant agent.

  FDA Guidelines: The amount of sclerosant we can use per visit is regulated, impacting the overall timeline.

• Compression Stocking Compliance: Your commitment to wearing compression stockings post-treatment is crucial for optimal results. Without proper compression, the treatment's effectiveness is significantly reduced.

Understanding these factors will help you have realistic expectations and work with your vein specialist to create a personalized treatment plan.

Remember, successful vein treatment is a partnership!
