Our Treatment
We offer minimally invasive treatments for large (bulging) varicose veins. All patients with varicose veins should adhere to lifestyle measures and wear support/compression stockings. Additional in-office treatments can include: Lifestyle Measures (Conservative Treatment) - regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, periodic rest, elevation of the legs, and wearing graduated compression stockings. Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT) - procedure is performed in our clinic under local anaesthetic, using laser energy to permanently collapse and seal shut damaged saphenous veins. Conventional Sclerotherapy - procedure is performed in our clinic under local anaesthetic, for the treatment of spider veins or small superficial varicose veins. Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy (Foam Sclerotherapy) - treatment of damaged branch veins, especially those that lie below the surface and cannot be directly seen. Medical Adhesive (VenaSeal®) - minimally invasive treatment option using advanced medical adhesive to seal the diseased vein.
