VARICOSE VEINs
We offer several minimally invasive techniques like endovenous ablation (VNUS/EVLA), foam sclerotherapy and micro-sclerotherapy and will tailor a personalised treatment plan on your consultation.
What are varicose veins?
In varicose veins the valves inside the veins are incompetent, making the veins non-functional and no longer contributing to the circulation of the leg. The blood flow inside the veins reverses into the leg, instead of going back to the heart, resulting in an increased venous pressure. As a result people can suffer from unsightly thread veins to more troublesome varicose veins. These veins can give cosmetic concerns, but also painful & restless legs, sometimes developing into swollen legs with skin discolourations and ultimately leg ulcerations..
can these be treated?
The good news is that these varicose veins can be diagnosed with an ultrasound scan and they can be treated minimally invasive with quick and excellent results. Because of the minimally invasive surgical techniques, recovery is much quicker without a lengthy downtime. We offer several minimally invasive techniques like endovenous ablation (VNUS/EVLA), foam sclerotherapy and micro-sclerotherapy and will tailor a personalised treatment plan on your consultation.

Endovenous ablation
(VNUS/EVLA)
With Ultrasound guidance a small catheter is inserted in the varicose vein. The catheter is heated up and the vein is sclerosed, reducing the high venous pressure. The procedure is performed completely under local anaesthetic and is very well tolerated. The procedure takes about 30-45min. Patients can return to normal activity in 24-48 hours and the success rates are 95-99%.
Foam
Sclerotherapy
Some visible varicose veins are too tortuous or superficial for endovenous treatment. Sometimes following a successful endovenous treatment, there are still some residual visible veins. There’s an option to treat these veins by injecting a substance under ultrasound guidance in the veins with a small needle that causes the vein to scar, so that they eventually harden, close up and eventually disappear.
Micro
Sclerotherapy
This is a technique used for thread or spider veins. It involves injections with a very fine needle of a sclerosing drug which irritates the lining of the veins, causing the walls to stick together and the unsightly veins to disappear.
