Endovenous laser ablation (EVLA)
A thin laser fibre is threaded into the faulty vein under ultrasound and seals it from inside. Under an hour.

Varicose Vein Treatment
Lighter legs. No scars. Same-day.
Modern vein care doesn't need incisions, hospital stays or weeks of recovery. Using ultrasound-guided lasers, radiofrequency catheters and micro-injections, we close faulty veins from the inside — the body reabsorbs them over the following weeks and your blood reroutes through healthy veins.

What we offer
Procedures and assessments
A focused, high-volume set of procedures — performed often and performed well, by the same senior team every time.
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA)
An alternative to laser, equally effective for large saphenous veins, often with less post-procedure tenderness.
Ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy
Micro-foam injected into deeper varicosities that aren't suitable for laser.
Cosmetic sclerotherapy
Tiny injections that erase superficial spider veins — typically 1–3 short sessions.
Ambulatory phlebectomy
Removal of large bulging veins through pinhole incisions that leave no visible scar.
Technology
The tools we use, by name
The equipment behind this specific service — chosen because precise tools support precise decisions.
- Biolitec 1470 nm radial-fibre laser
Latest-generation wavelength — less bruising and tenderness than older lasers.
- Medtronic ClosureFast RFA
Segmental radiofrequency closure — favoured by patients who prefer no laser.
- Philips Affiniti 70 vascular duplex
High-resolution ultrasound for live procedural guidance and follow-up.
- Polidocanol foam (Tessari technique)
Bedside-mixed foam for safe, effective treatment of tortuous veins.
Your journey
From first call to follow-through
1
Duplex ultrasound
We map your vein anatomy on the same visit and explain exactly which veins are involved.
2
Procedure
30–45 minutes under local anaesthesia. You walk out wearing a compression stocking.
3
Recovery
Normal activity the next day. Avoid heavy gym work for one week; cosmetic results continue to improve over 6–12 weeks.
How to prepare
- Shave the leg(s) the day before — not the same morning.
- Eat normally and stay well hydrated.
- Avoid moisturisers and self-tanner on treatment day.
- Bring loose trousers / a skirt and your prescription compression stocking if you already have one.
- No driving needed if local-only — you can drive yourself home.
Recovery & aftercare
- Compression stockings
Worn for 1–2 weeks day & night, then daytime only — speeds closure and prevents bruising.
- Walk 30 min/day
Walking starts the same day; it activates the calf-muscle pump and reduces clot risk.
- Two-week duplex check
Quick scan confirms successful closure and rules out any superficial thrombus.
- Recurrence prevention coaching
Practical tips on movement, weight, hormones and travel to keep new veins from forming.

FAQs
Questions patients ask us
If yours isn't here, ask our team — we love a good question.
Will the veins come back?+
Treated veins do not return. New ones can form over time — we teach you how to keep them away.
Is treatment covered by insurance?+
Symptomatic varicose veins are typically covered. Cosmetic spider veins are not.
How soon can I fly?+
Short-haul: next day. Long-haul: we recommend waiting one week and using a compression stocking.
