Guidelines For A Successful Vein Procedure

Our doctors have created this helpful list of do's and don'ts for the days leading up to your procedure.

Use this as a general guide, but reach out to your specialist if questions or concerns arise.

If taking Xanax be sure to arrange for a ride to and from procedure.
Take Xanax first pill one hour before procedure and second pill upon arrival.
Shower before your visit, as you will likely not shower for two days following the procedure.
Do not use moisturizers or lotions on your legs on the day of treatment.
Try to avoid Aspirin-like products (Motrin, Advil, Aleve) for 7 days prior to surgery unless otherwise advised by our office. Tylenol may be used if necessary.
Make sure to let the doctor know if you are on blood thinner medication.
Wear loose fitting clothing and easily removeable shoes.
Bring your compression stockings with you.
Be sure to eat breakfast and drink lots of water.
No caffeinated beverages (coffee, tea, soda pop, etc) on the day of surgery.
Please arrive 15 minutes before your appointment time.
Stay standing/walking until we call you back to the procedure room.
