Preparing for your Procedure:

There are no medication restrictions before the procedure. If you have asthma, please bring your inhaler with you to your appointment, or your doctor may have recommended taking an antihistamine such as Claritin prior to the procedure. You should take this the morning of your treatment.

Please notify our office if you are scheduled to have any type of medical procedure or surgery 2 weeks prior to or after your treatment.

If you choose to take the light sedative offered, be sure to make arrangements for transportation to and from the procedure, as you will not be able to drive yourself home. The morning of your procedure, please shower and thoroughly wash your leg with soap from your groin to your ankle and wear loose-fitting pants to your appointment. It is also advised for you to bring an extra pair of underwear with you to your appointment. It would be best if you have a light meal before you arrive. You may bring a book or an iPod to listen to during the procedure. We also offer a movie to watch during the procedure. If you already have 30-40 thigh-high compression stockings, please bring them with you to your appointment. If not, we will fit you for stockings on the day of your procedure.
