Frequently Asked Questions
Will treatment be painful?
Because the injections are being administered in such a sensitive area, it can be uncomfortable for patients who have more moderate-to-severe hemorrhoids. You can talk to your provider during your consultation about your comfort options, including numbing.
Can veins come back after treatment?
Unfortunately, hemorrhoids can be chronic. While the veins that cause hemorrhoids are removed during your treatment and will not come back, it’s not possible to predict whether other veins may lose function and become varicose.
Is it safe to collapse veins?
Yes, our bodies are adaptive, and when certain veins are destroyed, your body will naturally redirect blood flow to veins that live deeper within your skin and muscle.
