Varicose Veins affect up to 60% of the adult population. They are caused by distorted and enlarged superficial veins that are visible through the skin. As the walls of our veins become weaker they can stretch and veins become visible through the skin. Increased pressure encourages the appearance of spider veins and the discolored area that can sometimes look like bruises.
The problem often runs in families’ and can affect both men and women. Increasing age, prolonged standing, weight issues and pregnancy can exacerbate the condition.
Working with London’s most skilled Vascular Surgeons we offer the latest techniques for the treatment of Varicose, Thread and Spider Veins. Our team is proud to have been involved in pioneering new treatments, introducing EVLA (Endovenous Laser Ablation) and Venus Closure here in the UK.

Spider and Thread Veins
Sclerotherapy is a simple technique used to treat thread and spider veins where a liquid solution is injected superficially in to the vessels using an ultra-fine needle. This medication causes the veins to shrink and fade.
Our team are amongst the most experienced that Harley Street has to offer. Unlike the commercial clinic chains we offer our services directly to you so there are no sales people involved, just medical professionals dedicated to your care and wellbeing.

The procedure for Varicose Veins
The procedure involves an initial ultrasound which will allow your surgeon to trace your veins and identify the ones causing you problems. A tiny catheter is then inserted along with anaesthetic to ensure that you are kept as comfortable as possible. Through the use of radio frequency or laser, the vein is heated which results in it shrinking. The catheter is then gently withdrawn and the collagen in the vein wall continues to shrink resulting in the vein closing completely.
After the procedure, a further ultrasound will confirm that the vein has closed. At this point your body begins to naturally redirect blood flow to your healthy veins. The entire procedure takes only 45 to 60 minutes following which you are free to go home.

The procedure for Spider and Thread Veins
The treatment involves a series of very fine injections of a medication into the superficial veins. The medication causes an irritation to the lining of the vein and which causes it to collapse and then breakdown. Your thread veins will begin to fade will full results evident after 6- 8 weeks. Most patients wear specialised stockings to support the recovery for 1-2 weeks by which time any bruising has completely resolved.
