Varicose Veins Treatment
The Vein Institute offers patients the latest in minimally invasive varicose vein treatments for varicose veins, including the following:
Endovenous laser ablation and radiofrequency ablation.
Ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy.
Medical superglue. Also known as Venaseal.
Before any varicose vein treatment is selected, our team of doctors will give you a thorough and professional venous health examination, supported with duplex ultrasound, to diagnose your condition and help you decide which treatment is best for your particular needs. The use of ultrasound imaging allows the doctor to “see” all the veins beneath the surface of the skin, helping ensure that all veins that need treatment get treatment.
All of our varicose veins treatments are minimally invasive, meaning there is no need for a hospital stay, general anaesthetic or a lengthy recovery period. You can return to your normal activities on the same day of treatment. Treatment will only be carried out if there is a medical indication as determined by your treating specialist and after risks and benefits have been extensively discussed.
VISIT AND SCAN
A specialised ultrasound scan will be performed to determine the source of your varicose veins.
TREATMENT
Our doctors will then determine suitable treatment choices for you. All are non-surgical walk in walk out treatments.
REVIEW
A follow up scan will be necessary to make sure that your treatment is effective 1-2 weeks after your procedure.
