Do you have a question?
How are Varicose Veins Treated?
Dr. Robert Cutchen specializes in outpatient vein treatments from his accredited New Mexico vein treatment facility. Depending on the results of your diagnostic ultrasound test, Dr. Cutchen will recommend your personalized treatment protocol that will involve one or more of his outpatient vein treatment procedures that address both the internal source of the diseased veins, along with the cosmetic appearance of the visible diseased veins.
What is Recovery Like After Varicose Vein Treatment?
Most people have no significant downtime after these procedures. Patients can expect to resume normal activities immediately, although strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for 1-2 weeks. Patients should avoid sitting in hot water (hot tub/bathtub) for 2 weeks. Showering is fine. Ibuprofen may be taken for pain. Every patient experiences the post-treatment discomfort differently with some patients having little discomfort and others feeling more sore. Patients will be seen in follow-up appointments with Dr. Cutchen at 6 weeks and 6 months.
