I friend of mine had hers done, both legs had huge varicose veins, just 1 on each leg. She is in fantastic shape otherwise. She didn't have any issues just had to wear the compression stocking for I think 2 weeks. And my dad just had one 1 leg done last month with lasers. He had some pain during the procedure and had to go several days in a row. Again had to wear a compression stocking for a while after. But he is really happy with it so far.
I have had issues with my leg veins (spider and varicose) in all of my pregnancies so once I have this last baby#3, I will be getting my legs done.

Good Luck!

@Shantuck: it could be something different. I just know I had a great aunt that was unable to have bypass surgery because she had had vein removal. I don't know alot about it, just that it was really heartbreaking for them

@LCTBQE: I had the injections as well a few weeks later. Those were surprisingly more painful than I expected but they were effective. One of my legs actually did have another vein (two kids later) pop up but it isn't nearly as bad as the ones I had before my kids. My doctor recommended waiting until I was done having kids but I was maybe 27 at the time and I didn't want to feel so self-conscious for the next decade plus. I may have the vein looked at again eventually... still trying to work out whether kid #3 is in the cards for us.

I have a few spider veins but not many. My issue was a big bulging vein on each leg.

@LCTBQE: I totally get it. I had no pain from my veins. I did my procedures strictly for vanity reasons. As for me, I took a new job this summer and don’t have maternity leave benefits until I’ve been there a year so DH wanted to take a break from trying (we had only tried a couple of cycles after my D&C in December of last year). We’re going to try starting this month for a few cycles and see what happens. I’m turning 39 in a few weeks. Eek! How did that happen?!?
