Rather than dreading going to the beach because you\u2019re embarrassed about your varicose veins, come into our office to get a treatment like sclerotherapy. <a href=\"\/nm-vein\/sclerotherapy-treatment\/\">Sclerotherapy<\/a> is a treatment that involves injecting your veins with a FDA approved solution. Once injected, it causes your veins to shrink and ultimately collapse. The result? Clearer looking skin. To make sure that you get the best results possible from treatment, we have a list of things for you to do beforehand.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1 htag\"><span class=\"s1\">Have Compression Stockings Ready<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Before we start treatment, we will ensure that we have the right size of compression stockings for you. If you typically have a hard time finding socks that fit your calves, contact our office beforehand so that we can make sure that we have the right size available to you. We typically recommend stockings that have a medium compression and that cover the treatment area.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1 htag\"><span class=\"s1\">Wear The Right Clothing<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Another thing that we encourage patients to do is to come to the appointment in both loose-fitting pants and comfortable shoes. Both of these will help you leave our office feeling more comfortable than ever.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1 htag\"><span class=\"s1\">Avoid NSAIDs<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like Advil, aspiring, and Motrin should be avoided for about one week before treatment because they can thin your blood, cause you to bruise more, and may even make you bleed a little bit more .<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Getting ready for spring requires some work on your end. Before you slip into a bikini or shorts, consider getting your veins taken care of.
