We are dedicated to the treatment of varicose veins and thread veins using the latest non-surgical techniques. Most varicose vein treatments are literally "walk-in, walk-out" with little, if any, discomfort.

We treat all types of varicose veins problems whether it is purely for cosmetic reasons or more severe symptoms or complications including chronic venous insufficiency causing skin problems or leg ulceration.

Initially a detailed assessment of your varicose veins or thread veins will be made by consultation and physical examination. This will be followed by hand-held Doppler assessment (a very basic ultrasound test) and in virtually all cases a colour venous duplex scan (a detailed vascular ultrasound test) will be arranged before making a final decision regarding the optimal treatment. The latter is an essential component of the management of most patients with varicose veins in order to clarify the venous anatomy and sites of venous incompetence (leaky valves in the veins) as well as to check on the integrity of the deeper veins before embarking on any treatment.
