We highly recommend wearing compression hose as we have found that they not only help accelerate the treatment process, but also help to decrease some of the side effects of treatment, such as the temporary "lumpiness" as described earlier.

Answer: The addition of compression hose is regarded by many vein specialists as one of the most important advances in the treatment of venous disease. Compression hose have been proven effective when used for preventative care, during treatment, and for long-term therapy after treatment. Graduated compression prevents blood from pooling in the leg veins, thereby helping overall circulation. Compression is greatest at the ankle, gradually decreasing up the leg.

Compression stockings are not required following the treatment of your small veins. If we are treating your large varicose veins, however, it is recommended that you use compression stockings for a minimum of 7 days.

For best results we ask you to wear the compression hose for 10 days to 2 weeks after the procedure. The hose are washable on a delicate cycle or in the sink. (Hang to dry.)

Most people will only require the hose for a few days after the procedure. If foam injections are needed in the future, you may need to wear again for a couple of days. TOP

Compression hose are regarded by many vein specialists as an important tool in the treatment of venous disease. Compression hose have been proven effective at easing many of the symptoms associated with venous disease. They are also necessary after a procedure, either Sclerotherapy or CTEV, is performed. Furthermore, many insurance companies require a period of Class II Compression before a procedure can be performed.

No. You are not required to have a prescription to purchase support hose. However, if you are having problems with your legs it is important that you see your doctor to prevent potentially serious health problems from developing.

Yes, for about six weeks. After the gland is excised and liposuction is performed a large open space exists. The compression garment helps the tissue come together and close. The placement of drains also helps. Another function of the garment is that it helps reduce the initial swelling and contract the skin over the surgical site.

Pantyhose allows the ENDERMOLOGIE treatment apparatus to glide more smoothly over the body and insures optimal hygiene.

You will be asked to don a body stocking before treatment. This garment allows the apparatus to smoothly glide over the body and ensures optimal hygiene.

For a massage treatment it is suggested that both male and female clients dress down to their lower underwear, to increase the treatment's effectiveness. Clients will be draped securely throughout the session. Only the area being treated will be undraped. However, clients have the choice to keep whatever items of clothing on that will make them feel more comfortable. On a client's first visit, a postural assessment will be performed.

Let your body guide your activity after a treatment. Some patients feel the need to rest more, which allows the repair and restoration of cells to take place. We encourage patients not to over-exert themselves with the relief of pain, as it takes time for the body to adjust and restore itself. We highly recommend a good stretching routine to help "re-educate" the muscles. This routine can be provided as part of a treatment package.

Contraindications (medical conditions in which compression is not recommended): Ischemia (e.g. advanced arterial disease) of the legs; Uncontrolled congestive heart failure; Untreated septic phlebitis of the leg; and, Phlegmasia coerulea dolens. The wearing of compression should also be used with caution in the presence of: Skin infections; Seeping dermatoses; Incompatibility to fabric of garment; Impaired sensitivity of the limb; and, Immobility (confinement to bed).

After a tummy tuck you will need to wear the abdominal binder/compression garment usually for 6 weeks after surgery. You will not be able to do any heavy lifting, sit-ups, or vigorous exercise during this time either. For people who have lost more than 100 pounds or so, the compression will need to be worn for a longer period of time.

The elastic compression garment is used to diminish the amount of swelling and bruising in the treated area. It also prevents accumulation of excess fluid (serum or blood) under the skin, and helps to maintain the contour of the treated area. It should be worn continuously, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (except while showering) for the first 3-4 weeks. After that time, it can generally be used for support and comfort during the daytime only, for an additional 3 weeks.

Yes. Even after our best orthodontic treatment, teeth will have a tendency to move slightly. A retainer is the best way to minimize this movement.

We will provide with you with suitable disposable underwear. The massage takes place in a very relaxing, discreet environment where you will not be disturbed or have fear of any embarrassment.

MLD or Manual Lymphatic Drainage: This is a specially designed massage therapy developed to reduce lymphedema. It is effective in reducing edema of the body, head, neck and limbs. Used in conjunction with sequential pumps with calibrated gradient pressure, MLD can help give the patient pain reliefand expedite reduction of edema in the limb.

Through rigorous testing, we have found that if the vapor out hose is less than 5 feet, it will start reducing the mileage that the Fuel Saver 5000? will give you.

We recommend using a short 10 foot hose where possible, like at dump stations. The pump delivers betters and it is easier to stow. Carry another 10 foot length of hose for places where you need more range. We sell a 10 foot Extension Hose with a splicer to make this easy.

A thicker hose is often mistaken for a stiffer hose. The reinforcement will ultimately determine the tensile strength/temperature rating and has very little to do with the thickness of the hose. Some manufacturers may add filler to the silicone for added rigidity, but it will not have nearly the tensile strength/heat resistance of fiberglass.

We recommend you wear whatever you are comfortable changing in and out of. If you are receiving a waxing treatment or a nail treatment, you will probably not be changing into a robe so wear clothes that allow easy access to the appropriate areas and bring sandals that won't be covered after the polish. If you are receiving our Bronzing Treatment, please wear loose fitting, dark, cotton clothing in case some of the bronzer rubs off.
