varicose vein treatment Options

Varicose vein treatments have advanced significantly over the years, offering patients a variety of effective solutions to alleviate discomfort and improve overall leg health. Modern treatments range from minimally invasive procedures, such as foam sclerotherapy and endovenous laser treatment (EVLA), to surgical interventions like vein stripping when necessary. Each treatment option is carefully tailored to address the individual’s unique condition, with the goal of promoting healthier circulation, alleviating symptoms, and significantly improving overall quality of life.

EVLA (Endovenous Laser Ablation)

Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) is a highly effective, minimally invasive treatment designed to address varicose veins. This modern procedure utilises laser energy to target and close problematic veins, redirecting blood flow to healthier veins and improving circulation. Performed under local anaesthetic, EVLA offers patients a safe and relatively quick option with minimal discomfort, a short recovery time, and long-lasting results.

Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is a widely recognised, minimally invasive treatment used to address smaller varicose veins. This procedure involves injecting a specialised solution directly into the affected veins, causing them to collapse and gradually fade from view. Sclerotherapy is a safe and effective treatment option, often performed in a clinical setting with minimal downtime, allowing patients to return to their daily activities quickly.

Treating Varicose Veins in London

Every patient’s situation is unique, and the most suitable treatment will depend on factors such as the severity of the condition and overall health. To determine the best course of action, a consultation with a qualified specialist is essential. During this consultation, your specific needs will be evaluated, and a personalised treatment plan will be created to ensure optimal results and long-term vein health.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Varicose veins will not disappear on their own; however, there are steps you can take at home to manage your symptoms and improve circulation. Regular exercise, for instance, can help enhance blood flow and reduce vein discomfort. Avoiding prolonged periods of standing or sitting is also essential, as it minimises pressure on the veins. Elevating the affected area while resting can further alleviate swelling, while wearing compression stockings provides additional support by promoting better blood flow. For more severe cases, where varicose veins cause significant pain or risk of complications, it is advisable to consult a specialist. A consultant will assess your condition thoroughly and recommend the most appropriate treatment to address your needs and improve your overall vein health.
The recovery time following varicose vein treatment can vary significantly, depending on the type of procedure performed and the individual’s overall health. Minimally invasive treatments, such as sclerotherapy and endovenous laser therapy (EVLA), typically have shorter recovery periods. Most patients can resume their normal daily activities within a day or two, although strenuous activities and heavy lifting should be avoided for at least a week. For surgical procedures, such as vein stripping, recovery may take longer, with patients often requiring a few weeks of rest and gradual return to full activity. It is important to follow your doctor’s post-treatment instructions carefully, as this plays a key role in ensuring optimal healing and results.

Prices for treatments can vary depending on the type of procedure and the number of veins being treated. For detailed and up-to-date information on treatment costs, visit our dedicated treatment price page.
