How to prepare for your vein treatment at Center for Vein Restoration.

These recommendations are suitable for all modalities that CVR offers. Feeling, looking, and living better starts with successful preparation for your vein procedure. Please review the instructions below to get the most out of your treatment and ensure the best chance at a full, satisfying recovery.

Pre-Operative Instructions

Getting back to normal is easy when you follow these procedure preparation instructions.

  1. You must wear or bring loose-fitting shorts and socks. Undergarments may get stained as the doctor preps the entire leg. Please don’t wear anything that you value highly.
  2. Drink plenty of water.
  3. Please eat and drink normally before a procedure. Fasting is not necessary.
  4. Take your medications as prescribed. Please don't interrupt your regular dosing unless your doctor has given instructions about a particular medication.
  5. If you've taken a sedative before your procedure, have someone drive you to and from your appointment (taxi lists are available upon request).
  6. Bring your compression stockings with you on the day of your procedure.
  7. Bring a referral to your first procedure if your insurance requires it. Your plan may require an additional referral because each patient's treatment and insurance plans differ.

NOTE: These are general guidelines for your care. Please follow any specific instructions provided by your care team, as they may vary from what is presented here.
