Question: Do I have to wear compression hose?
Compression stockings are a significant part of the standard of care with many large vein procedures. Smaller vein treatments do not require compression hose and have not been shown to benefit from compression. You will be advised to bring your compression stockings with you on any large vein therapy visit. Generally speaking you may be required to wear compression for as many as 7-10 days after endovenous laser or ambulatory phlebectomy. Compression hose have proven value when used for preventative care, during treatment and for long-term therapy after treatment.
