You should maintain normal activities including walking. The more you can walk the better as this works the muscles of the legs and aids circulation in the treated area, which in turn promotes healing.

You should avoid:-

  • standing for prolonged periods for approximately 14 days after treatment
  • crossing your legs as this interferes with blood circulation
  • very hot baths and saunas immediately after treatment
  • sunbathing and sunbeds immediately post treatment
  • strenuous physical activity like aerobic exercise and weight-lifting for 72 hours after treatment
  • picking and scratching the treated area
  • alcohol and aspirin for 24 hours pre and post treatment
