Varicose veins
Do you suffer with painful, itchy or unsightly leg veins? Have you been turned down for NHS treatment?
We offer Ultrasound-guided Foam Sclerotherapy or Radiofrequency ablation therapy. Simple walk-in walk-out non-invasive procedures under local anaesthetic with no time-off work required.
​
Following a consultation and venous duplex ultrasound scan we will discuss the best options and tailor a plan for you. Most patients are suitable for Foam sclerotherapy which is by far the simplest and least expensive treatment.
Spider veins
Do you suffer from unsightly spider, thread, or flare veins on your legs?
This is an extremely common problem yet very easy to treat. Following a consultation we usually advise assessment by venous duplex ultrasound scan to exclude any underlying "feeder veins" or "venous reflux".
​
The best treatment is a course of Microsclerotherapy which involves lots of injections using a tiny needle.
Leg ulcers
Are you unfortunate enough to suffer with ulceration or skin discolouration of your lower leg?
​
This can be the most serious manifestation of varicose veins / venous disease, although other causes of leg ulcers must be excluded.
​
We will perform a full assessment including a venous duplex ultrasound scan and arrange an arterial duplex scan as well if necessary. The majority of venous ulcers will heal with simple Ultrasound-guided Foam sclerotherapy treatment.
