Is It Ok to Exercise 5 Days After Laser Spider Vein Removal?

After laser vein treatment, it is typically fine to resume normal activity within a few days, after the veins have "scarred closed" from the treatment.  Immediate vigorous exercises that utilize the legs may slightly increase the risk that the veins "reopen" after treatment, and therefore the treatment could be less effective.  The reason to avoid vigorous exercise is the same reason that compression stockings are advised immediately after . . . i.e. to increase the effectiveness of the treatment.  It is fine to resume sexual activity right after the treatment.

 

Laser treatment for spider veins is usually directed at the smallest superficial spider veins.  Normal activity is not only OK; but recommended after vein laser treatments.  Sexually activities are always at the discretion of the female partner; but fine after superficial laser spider vein therapy.  Do expect superficial bruises and redness at the skin surface.  Do expect tenderness and skin discoloration.  The body will absorb the spider veins over the next 3-6 months.  Sun exposure to the skin at the site of the laser, can result in skin stains.
