What is the recovery time after varicose vein treatment?

The recovery time after varicose vein treatment depends on the type of procedure performed. Minimally invasive treatments like sclerotherapy, endovenous laser ablation (EVLA), radiofrequency ablation (RFA), and VenaSeal generally have short recovery periods.

Patients undergoing these procedures can often return to normal activities within a few days. Mild discomfort, bruising, or swelling may occur but typically resolves within a week or two. Compression stockings may be recommended for a few days to weeks after the procedure to aid in healing and prevent complications.

In contrast, surgical procedures like vein stripping or phlebectomy may require a longer recovery period, with most patients needing to take at least a week off work and avoid strenuous activities for several weeks. Regardless of the treatment, following post-procedure care instructions and attending follow-up appointments are essential for a smooth recovery and optimal results.
