FAQs

What treatments are available for my veins?

Our experienced team have a wide range of treatment modalities at our disposal designed to provide the best service for the individual needs of each case.

Radio Frequency Ablation (RFA) – Recognised as the Gold Standard treatment for Varicose Veins providing the longest lasting results with the fastest recovery. Surgery is no longer needed for most people with varicose veins. RFA uses thermal energy (heat) to treat varicose veins. A thin catheter (a long tube) is inserted into the faulty vein and once the vein is anesthetised, the catheter heats up, sealing the vein closed. The body then gradually absorbs the closed vein over several months. The entire procedure typically takes one to two hours and unlike surgical options, RFA leaves no visible scars.

Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) — This is also a gold-standard technique but has recently been superseded by Radio Frequency Ablation (RFA).

Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy (UGS) – First-line treatment for smaller varicose, reticular and spider veins and commonly used in conjunction with RFA to ensure the best outcomes for our clients. During UGS, a special solution (often in the form of foam sclerotherapy) is injected directly into the varicose veins under guidance of an ultrasound. The solution is designed to close off the faulty vein by irritating its walls. Once the abnormal vein is treated, the body gradually absorbs it over several months. Blood flow is redirected through deeper veins, leading to an improved venous system and a reduction in varicose vein symptoms. The advantages of UGS is that most patients can return to work within an hour of treatment, it provides both functional relief and cosmetic enhancement and it is simple and straightforward.

Nd:Yag Laser Sclerotherapy – Nd:YAG laser is the gold standard technology for the non-invasive treatment of small spider veins and facial telangiectasia. During the procedure, the Nd:YAG laser emits energy. This energy is absorbed by the hemoglobin (in blood) and melanin (in pigmented areas). The laser causes coagulation and closure of the targeted veins.

With our cutting edge, non-surgical, walk-in, walk-out treatment options you don’t have to put up with your vein conditions any longer. From small unsightly Spider veins right through to prominent Varicose veins we offer the full range of treatment options including Cutera NdYAG laser, Sclerotherapy and Endovenous RF Ablation to get the results you want with minimal downtime
