Many people wonder how long varicose vein treatment will take, particularly if they have an important event such as a beach vacation scheduled in the not-so-distant future. Dr. Hamza Rana, Olney varicose vein doctor, explains how long it takes to complete varicose vein treatment so that you can get back to the activities you want to do.
What do Montgomery County residents need to know about varicose vein treatment?
Varicose veins are the result of a breakdown in the valves inside our veins. These valves ensure that blood moves properly from the feet back up to the heart, so if they don’t work well the blood tends to pool in the lower extremities. This pooling causes swelling, aching, and those unsightly varicose veins.
Fortunately, modern vein treatments are safe, effective, and most importantly, fast. In fact, your initial treatment at one of the top vein centers in Montgomery County can usually be completed in about an hour, and you’re up and on your way. While you can resume your normal activities immediately, depending on the treatment you have had, it may take a few weeks for your legs to return to their original appearance. For example, with sclerotherapy, we inject a special type of foam into the varicose vein to cause it to seal shut permanently. Your body will quickly reroute your blood through other, healthy veins in the area, but it may take a few weeks for your body to reabsorb the sealed vein that was treated during the procedure.
