“ When my legs were bothering me , I was feeling old , but now I feel like I ’ m 35 again . It ’ s wonderful !”

“ My job [ at an orthodontist ’ s office and cleaning service ] is easier now , because I can be on my feet longer ,” says Cheryl . “ There ’ s less soreness — I can get up and move around faster ."
Prior to her vein treatments , Cheryl had been taking Motrin ® regularly to try to control the pain and puffiness , but over-the-counter pain medications weren ’ t helping .
“ At Allure I had two injections in each leg — a total of four appointments ,” she says . “ The very same night , walking finally felt comfortable again . I even went to work the next day . About four months later , I felt an even bigger change . The swelling was down , and my legs didn ’ t hurt at all .”

“ Being a chef means you ’ re on your feet all day and you don ’ t have time to sit and elevate . Gravity was really putting pressure on my varicose veins . I knew I needed to get rid of my pain and symptoms .”

“ Years ago , I had the old-school procedure done — I checked into a hospital , they gave me an IV and knocked me out , and they stripped my veins away ,” he says . “ It was barbaric , and it was three or four days before I could get around again .” When he had his legs treated at Allure , there was no downtime .“ It was very manageable — I was right back to work the same day . When I had an 11:30 appointment , the staff immediately got me rolling , and I was in and out in less than an hour and a half .”
“ Even right after the procedure , I only took minimal pain meds . I had a little bit of inflammation and bruising , which is typical . But now I don ’ t take any kind of pain meds for my legs at all . I don ’ t have ‘ cankles ’— swollen ankles — like I used to . The inflammation is gone .”
