In case of early stage varicose veins, spider veins you can expect to see some results in 3 to 6 weeks whereas in later stages with larger affected area this treatment would require 3 to 4 months of time to show desired results.

In the first line of In-Patient treatment of Localised varicosity with the very low area affected, Leech therapy is used as the primary treatment. Leech therapy is performed 2-3 times in a duration of 14-21 days along with 2-3 sessions of supportive treatment per day. 

In case of severe varicosity or a larger affected area, we use heat massage as a preparatory treatment before the primary treatment. In such cases, Seravedha will be the primary treatment instead of leech therapy with 1-2 sessions in a duration of 14-21 days along with 2-3 sessions of supportive treatment per day.  Supportive treatments include Kizhi , Kashaya dhara, Udhwarthana, Dhoopanam(fumigation), Lepam, Pidizhil, Abhyanga, and Vasti. In both cases, you can start to see the results within 1 day whereas in 14-21 days you can expect 50-80% improvement in general.
