Will my varicose veins come back after treatment?

Varicose veins can potentially return after treatment, though the likelihood varies depending on the type of treatment.

Endovenous treatments – radiofrequency, laser and VenaSeal™ – all have a similar rate of recurrence, which is around 5%.

The rate of recurrence is much higher if you treat the main vein – the long saphenous vein – using foam injections, which is why we only use foam in our practice for treating smaller superficial veins.

If your veins come back, then you can, of course, choose to have them treated again.

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.
