What is the “downtime” after the Venacure (laser) or Closure (radiofrequency) procedure?
There is little or no downtime and most people are able to return to work the next day. After most procedures, we ask you to wear support stockings continously for four days, then for two weeks during the day only. During that time, we ask you to refrain from heavy lifting, straining, squatting, or other activity that may lead to a valsalva (bearing down) type maneuver. You may, however, immediately engage in aerobic activity.
