Main Information

This is a walk-in walk-out procedure. The area may be a little sore for a few days but it is rare for patients to have any real pain. Some people are very sensitive, particularly if they are thin framed, and might feel more discomfort. In an audit performed by the Whiteley Clinic, only 1 in 10 need any painkillers. Whether someone feels pain or not, it is sensible to remember that the alternative, stripping, is approximately 10 times more painful and usually stops proper walking or driving for up to 14 days after treatment. Most people are back to normal walking the same day, driving the following day and get back to normal life including baths and showers between two and five days after the surgery when the little wounds have healed. Depending on the extent of the veins, most people are able to return to sport and the gym between one and three weeks after treatment. It is very rare to have any recovery taking longer than this. However, it must be remembered that veins have been destroyed, and as such the area might still be tender when pressed up to 3 to 6 months later.
