Varicose Vein treatments in London

by Leave a Comment

Are you looking for varicose vein removal treatments? This time of the year is probably the most ideal time to undergo any of the varicose vein treatments so you will be ready to show off you vein-free legs in spring.

In this blog post, we will be covering all the different treatments available to treat varicose veins so you are informed before attending your consultation.

What are the varicose vein treatments available?

There are several treatments available to treat varicose veins and it is useful to understand the difference between them, however, the best treatment for each case will be advised by your vascular surgeon.

A scan of the area of concern should be performed to decide which treatment is the best option for you. At The Private Clinic, we provide a complimentary ultrasound scan at every consultation (the price per consultation is £150).

  • EVLA stands for Endovenous Laser Ablation. EVLA is a minimally –invasive treatment that is recognised as a Gold Standard of treatment for varicose veins by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE). This treatment uses ultrasound technology to locate the damaged veins to then run a laser to remove the vein by breaking down the vein lining. This treatment has outstanding results achieving a 95.4% success rate.
  • VenaSeal is a vein closure treatment which uses a medical grade glue to seal the veins. This treatment is ideal for patients who are afraid or concerned about needles as it only requires one injection per affected vein and is completely painless as the area is previously numbed. What’s more, the recovery time is shorter compared to other procedures and the patient does not need to wear compression stockings.
  • Sclerotherapy is a vein removal treatment which involves the injection of a liquid or foam solution known as a sclerosing agent. Foam sclerotherapy is used for larger veins such as varicose veins whilst liquid sclerotherapy is used for thread veins. The foam is injected into the affected areas realising the blood retained in those veins to then proceed to its closure and disappearance.
  • Phlebectomy is a procedure performed under local anaesthetic again and consists in performing a series of small incisions where the varicose veins are located to hook the varicose vein and are then removed. The procedure does not require any stitches and provides instant results and relief from bulging varicose veins.

When would I be able to see results from the treatments?

For all of the varicose removal treatments you should be able to see the results right after the procedure; however, some treatments will require you to wear compression stockings for a few days.

There will be some visible bruising but this will disappear within 1-2 weeks. You can expect to see your final results around 6 weeks after the treatment.

When will I be able to return to work after my procedure?

When it comes to the VenaSeal, EVLA or foam sclerotherapy treatments, many patients are able to return to work the day after their treatment.  If you have had phlebectomy we recommend waiting 2-3 days before going back to work.

How can you treat thread or spider veins

by Leave a Comment

What are thread or spider veins?

Thread veins also known as spider veins are a smaller a type of varicose veins, usually appearing on ankles, thighs and sometimes on the face (nose, cheeks or chin). Thread veins can become an issue to many people as they can often be perceived as anti-aesthetic. Nonetheless, there is more than the mere cosmetic aspect around these types of veins as often their appearance could be a sign of latent vein problems.

What can cause the appearance of thread veins?

Thread or spider veins are essentially the results of damaged veins which are no longer able to properly distribute the necessary blood flow to the lungs and heart. The results of the valves present in these veins getting damaged or enlarged are the cause of blood staining, being the thread veins we see the physical representation of the internal issue.

Some of the most common reasons why thread or spider veins appear are:

  • There is a high factor of suffering from thread veins if there is someone in your family line who has suffered from these in the past.
  • Standing for long periods of time can influence the developing of these types of veins.
  • Hormonal changes can also be an issue that could lead to thread veins.
  • Damaged collagen is a factor that influences the appearance of thread veins so individuals who usually are under intense sun exposure might become more prone to suffering from these types of veins.
  • In the case of facial thread veins, the cause of their appearance could be associated with other skin conditions such as Rosacea.
Before and after image of thread or spider veins.

 What are the treatments available to remove thread veins?

There are different treatments available to treat thread veins depending on their location. Your therapist would recommend the most adequate treatment for your specific case.

Thread or spider vein removal treatment.

There are three types of thread vein treatments possible:

  • Sclerotherapy: Sclerotherapy is an ideal treatment to treat thread veins on legs. The treatment consists of injecting a sclerosing force into the veins of the affected area. The substance injected blocks the vein blood flow by making the walls of the vein sticky. This technique enables the capillaries to collapse by cutting the blood supply, so then the body can absorb them and further allow the visible removal of veins on the skin.
  • Cutera CoolGlide: The CoolGlide is a laser procedure that re-diverts the blood of the problematic veins to veins based in areas deep below the skin surface via an intense light. This procedure effectively allows the visible veins to be absorbed by the body removing any visible marks. This treatment can be used to treat facial thread veins as well as all over the body.
  • IPL: Intense Pulsed Light treatment is a laser-style procedure that uses intense pulsed light to heat up the vein causing the vein to then collapse and be naturally absorbed by the body.IPL devices can produce different types of pulsed light making it an ideal treatment for different variations of facial veins. IPL only affects the lower layers of the skin allowing it to reach the spider veins without causing damage to the surface of the skin.

All of these treatments allow you to go back to your normal day to day life right away!

” All I can say is what a treatment! I literally walked in with thread veins on my legs, felt a bit of a sting during treatment, walked out slightly red, and woke up the next day with no veins…”

Varicose Vein Removal London Harley Street

by Leave a Comment

Varicose veins most commonly appear on the legs and can be painful and cause swelling in the ankles. Varicose veins are caused by the walls of the vein becoming stretched and losing their elasticity properties. This then results in the valves within your veins malfunctioning causing blood to flow backwards and collect within the vein. They often present themselves as bulging or lumpy veins that are often blue or purple in colour.

In severe cases, varicose veins can cause patients to experience cramping, aches, itching, pain, swelling or marking of the skin. Patients often comment on their varicose veins appearing worse after standing for long periods of time or extended activity like walking.

Varicose Vein Treatments London

At our dedicated varicose vein clinic in London Harley Street we have a range of varicose vein removal treatments to help patients suffering from large or small varicose veins.

  • EVLA or Endovenous Ablation of Varicose Veins uses laser heat to collapse the wall of the vein stopping the cause of the problem. EVLA is actually the NICE Gold Standard for treatment of Varicose Veins and has a success rate after five years of 95.4%
  • VenaSeal is a treatment that uses medical adhesive to secure and close varicose veins and is great for needle-phobic patients as it often only requires a single injection per vein. In the majority of VenaSeal cases you will also not be required to wear compression garments so you will be able to return to your daily activities relatively quickly.
  • Sclerotherapy uses liquid or foam to coat the vein wall causing inflammation which pushes the blood out of the area and causes the vein to bond together. Sclerotherapy is a great treatment for smaller varicose veins but a foam treatment can also be used for larger veins if required.
  • Phlebectomy is a minimally invasive procedure that removes varicose veins that are close to the surface with a small needle or scalpel. It provides an instant relief from bulging veins as they are removed from the body entirely.

What happens during varicose vein treatment?

Every patient’s varicose vein treatment will be slightly different as there is always more than one way of treating them. Our surgeons will be able to discuss with you in detail the different treatment options available and work out the best course of treatment for you.

Varicose Vein Treatment Review

“I met with Mr Rittoo who immediately made me feel at ease. He explained the procedure and that it’s a fairly simple and quick – It’s walk-in, walk-out so minimal drama around it.  I am really delighted when I look at my leg and no longer see the varicose vein there that made me feel so insecure. I can’t wait until next summer when the small incision marks that remain will hopefully be all healed and I can wear shorts without feeling like an awkward turtle.  I would 100% return to The Private Clinic for the same treatment again and would trust them to take good care of me for that second leg.”
