The treatment itself is virtually painless. The symptoms that you’ve had from your varicose veins; the aching, the dragging feeling and the itching, those symptoms will go immediately after the treatment. They get replaced by a bruising sensation where the veins are tender and lumpy and uncomfortable for a while afterwards. In about 1 in 10 people that can be really quite uncomfortable for a few days up to about a week. In the vast majority of cases it settles very quickly and you’re able to go back to your full normal activities the following day.
