So, This is a follow up to my previous question asked about if RFA and Stab Phlebectomy was a good approach for my vein treatment. I got my RFA done on my thigh and stab phelectomy on the remaining bulging veins. My question is that... How long should the pain last? My skin is still tender to touch and still hurts when I run my hand over where the procedure was done. Also, should I wear compression stocking after I remove my ace bandage? Thanks
Answer: Choosing between different varicose vein and spider vein treatments It’s important to distinguish between varicose veins and spider veins when choosing between laser therapy, sclerotherapy, and vein surgery. With two board certified vein specialists, our center uses a combination of visual examination, functional flow measurements, ultrasound, transillumination, and infrared light to map out vein networks prior to therapy. Lasers can be used to treat deep varicose vein insufficiency, vein perforators, and varicose veins. Sclerotherapy is ideal for spider veins and reticular veins. Whereas surgery is reserved for severely incompetent varicose vein segments.

Answer: Stagng of endovenous ablation and microphlebectomy - timing is everything This is the reason why I don't combine the 2 procedures and stage them, meaning endovenous laser in a separate 1st session and microphlebectomy to follow later, namely a week or 2 later.

Answer: Post-op discomfort Thank you for the question! It's not uncommon to experience some discomfort two days after the procedure. Typically it may persist for one or two weeks. During this period, it's advisable to wear compression stockings to promote healing. If the pain continues after two weeks, be sure to notify your physician.
