Can I have laser therapy during pregnancy?
I have 6 weeks left of pregnancy, and I have varicose veins, they are causing me a lot of pain, and I have a spot that always feels hot. Can I have laser therapy now during pregnancy?
Unfortunately no. This procedure would not be safe to do while you are pregnant. You should wear compression stockings every single day. The best option is to put them on before you get out of bed in the morning and not to take them off until you go to sleep at night. Elevating your legs for periods of 10-15 min at a time, 3-4 times a day can also help. After the baby is born, then you can plan to have your veins treated. Best wishes for a healthy baby.
