Feeling Good, Looking Good.

ClariVein™ A procedure consisting of a tiny rotating wire is inserted inside the varicose vein whilst a sclerosant solution is injected to break down and seal the vein. This technique is the least invasive, requiring the smallest amount of local anaesthetic. The procedure takes around 30 minutes per leg. Read More

Endovenous Laser (EVLA) is a laser fibre that is administered inside the vein. The laser heat penetrates the vein wall and as it is withdrawn up the leg the vein is destroyed. The procedure takes around 30 minutes per leg under local anaesthetic or general anaesthetic according to patient preference. Read More

Foam Sclerotherapy a treatment using foam injected into the veins and this causes them to collapse and fibrose. Ultrasound guided foam sclerotherapy can treat obvious varicose veins as well as incompetent long and short saphenous veins causing underlying problems. The procedure is performed in the Outpatient Clinic. Read More

VNUS Closure
