We treat the full range of vein conditions including varicose veins, spider veins, and related venous insufficiency issues through minimally-invasive methods tailored to each patient's needs.
-
Your journey starts with an in-depth consultation to evaluate your condition and goals. From there, we develop a personalised treatment plan which may involve techniques like microsclerotherapy, ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy and endovenous ablation. All treatments are outpatient procedures with very little downtime.
-
Modern vein treatments are extremely effective at removing or resolving damaged vein issues when performed by a phlebology doctor. Many patients see noticeable improvements within just a few weeks with continued benefits over time.
-
Insurance coverage can vary based on your individual plan and whether the treatment is considered medically necessary or purely cosmetic. We are happy to review your benefits and explain pricing and payment options.
-
With minimally-invasive approaches, most of our patients can return to regular activities within 1-2 days following treatment. We provide full aftercare instructions, though any extended downtime or activity restrictions are generally minor.
-
Most of our patients experience little-to-no pain or discomfort during procedures thanks to the use of local anesthetics and our gentle, precise techniques. Some minor tenderness or bruising can occur but is easily manageable.
-
While certain risk factors like genetics and aging are unavoidable, maintaining an active lifestyle, managing weight, avoiding long periods of inactivity, and wearing compression stockings can help prevent varicose and spider veins from developing or worsening over time.
