Varicose veins typically do not go away on their own. Once they develop, they are usually permanent unless treated. Lifestyle changes, such as regular exercise, weight management, and elevating the legs, can help manage symptoms and prevent them from worsening but won’t eliminate existing varicose veins. If you have problematic veins that you want to get rid of then you will likely need treatment such as VenaSeal™, Radiofrequency ablation, foam sclerotherapy or surgery.

We offer a range of treatment options for varicose veins including VenaSeal™ – the most up to date method of treating varicose veins that causes less pain and allows you to get back to normal almost immediately, without the hassle of wearing bandages or compression stockings.

Get in touch with our friendly team and we’ll help you find the right varicose vein treatment for you.
