Treatment of the week

UNSIGHTLY varicose veins can be a great cause of embarassament. But this new procedure at The Private Clinic in London takes less than an hour and you should be able to walk immediately.

The treament uses ultrasound to pinpoint the defective vein, which is then injected with a local anaesthetic.

Next, a catheter is inserted, through which the laser energy is sent, sealing and cutting off the blood supply to the vein, which eventually disappears.
