October 30, 2019 by Rebecca Giffen Leave a Comment

When it comes to choosing where to have your vaser liposuction procedure, it is not just the body area that you need to consider. The location and surgeon you choose can have a big impact on the outcome of your procedure so you need to feel reassured and confident that you are in the best hands.

One of the biggest deciding factors when it comes to any type of procedure is cost. We understand that everybody wants to get the best cost for anything but unlike price matching the cost of a new phone or TV; vaser liposuction is a surgical procedure and each clinic or surgeon will have a variation on expertise and standards.

Many patients these days are seeking cheaper cosmetic surgery procedures abroad and vaser liposuction is a popular one. But whilst choosing to have a vaser liposuction procedure abroad might be an attractive option; for many, it is not as smooth sailing as promised and can often end up costing more and in some cases can even prove to be fatal.

Aftercare

There will always be risks associated with vaser liposuction which will apply whether the procedure is carried out in the UK or abroad. The difference is that if you have your procedure carried out in the UK you will be in close contact with your surgeon who will be able to personally provide you with long term aftercare and will be there if anything was to go wrong. For patients who may have had surgery abroad, if they develop a complication after they have arrived back the UK; it can be difficult to see your surgeon again in person without travelling back to the country.

Following a vaser liposuction procedure at The Private Clinic, we provide our patients with unlimited follow up appointments with their surgeon. We also have a 24 hour on-call phone number which is there for you should you feel worried or concerned about anything outside of our usual working hours.

Although you may be promised an aftercare plan following vaser liposuction abroad, it is well worth finding out how this is going to be carried out. Usually we see patients back in clinic a few months after their procedure, would this visit require you to travel again and who would be liable for the cost if so? It is not acceptable to be seen by a non-medical member of staff for any type of follow-up appointment.

Travelling following surgery

Travelling is also another big red flag at The Private Clinic. Although most patients are fine to travel after 7-10 days following a vaser liposuction procedure, we do advise that patients try to wait at least 6 weeks to allow their body to fully recover and also to remain close to the clinic or surgeon to enable them to contact should they need to at any point during their recovery. For many patients who travel abroad to Turkey for example; it is a 4 hour flight that you will take in as little as 4 days after having the procedure. You are at a much higher risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

Meeting your surgeon

When choosing to have vaser liposuction in the UK, you would have met your surgeon once, if not twice before booking the procedure. At The Private Clinic especially, you will have had a detailed consultation with one of our experts where the procedure will have been discussed in detail, the surgeon would have gone through all the risks, you would be assessed for the procedure and a treatment plan discussed. During your consultation, before and after photos will be shared and you have the opportunity to ask any questions about the procedure too. If having vaser liposuction abroad, it is a lot more common for patients not to meet the surgeon performing their procedure until the day of the procedure.  We do not advise booking and paying for a vaser liposuction procedure before you have visited the clinic and met with the surgeon. In the UK we also like to allow a 2 week cooling off period after meeting with your surgeon to be able to make a more informed decision.

Travel Insurance

Normally when you go abroad you take out travel insurance to cover the cost of any unexpected medical fees. You may feel like you are already covered within the package you have taken out with your selected clinic abroad but it is unusual for a holiday policy to cover you if something was to go wrong during or after your liposuction procedure that you have not already paid for. Most travel insurance policies will not cover you if you are travelling for the purpose of receiving medical treatment abroad so you will need to be honest when applying. Travel insurance for this purpose can be costly so it is another expense to add on to your final fee.

Is cosmetic surgery abroad ever safe?

This blog is not here to tell you that all surgery abroad is unsafe. There is a wide network of very experienced doctors and surgeons across the world.  What we want all patients to do is ensure they thoroughly research the procedure and safety aspects. Don’t be afraid to ask questions and don’t get drawn in by attractive offers. Vaser liposuction has a lot of great benefits and is a treatment for targeting stubborn areas of excess fat and reducing them but these impressive claims and results are only achieved when performed safely by experienced surgeons who offer detailed aftercare. When it comes to choosing your surgeon or clinic whether it be in the UK or abroad, research is one of the most important steps.

Vaser Hi-Def and Mid-Def for Men

April 30, 2019 by Julia Morgan Leave a Comment

Weight loss and daily exercising is not an easy task and requires commitment and determination. It can be very satisfying when you start to lose a lot of weight but when you see some areas of your body where the fat doesn’t seem to disappear, it can really affect your determination to continue. Stubborn fat is quite difficult to remove even after exercising and dieting, that’s why Vaser Liposuction can be an ideal solution to help you remove those stubborn fat deposits and achieve your ideal body. At The Private Clinic, we count with years of experience in carrying out body contouring and body shaping procedures such as Vaser liposuction to help many men transform their bodies.

What is Vaser Hi-Def?

Vaser Hi-Def is a type of Vaser Liposuction, a body contouring and fat removing procedure, less invasive than traditional liposuction, aimed to provide an athletic and sculptured appearance.

The procedure uses ultrasound technology to locate and breakdown fat cells which are then removed via a gentle suction process. This procedure is able to sculpt and define underlying muscles causing minimum damage to the surrounding tissues of the treatment area and it’s performed under local anaesthetic. Vaser Hi-Def is ideal for males who want highly defined muscles such as gym like six-pack, also known as abdominal liposculpture. Other areas that can be targeted with Vaser High-Def include abdominal flanks, upper arms and upper, lower back and chest (gynecomastia or man boobs). The results are very natural as this procedure consists of enhancing your existing natural abdominal, torso or back muscles.

 What is Vaser Mid-Def?

Vaser Mid-Def is ideal for men who are looking to achieve a defined look but not as sculpted or extreme as the results from VASER Hi-Def. This procedure involves more work than the standard Vaser liposuction as these techniques require removing the fat surrounding the muscles to contour and enhance them.

When Will I see the results?

The results after Vaser Hi-Def or Vaser Mid-Def can be seen almost straight away. However, the final results are typically seen after 5-6 week post procedure.

Will I be left with any scars?

Vaser Liposuction is performed making very small incisions on the treatment areas, however, these tiny incisions heal easily and the marks left are virtually undetectable on the skin.

When Can I exercise again?

Patients are able to do mild exercise such as jogging or lightly train the areas of the body that are not treated within 14 days from the procedure. However, returning back to gym workouts should be avoided for a period of 6 weeks.

Vaser Hi-Def and Mid-Def at The Private Clinic

The Private Clinic is the UK’s leading provider of VASER Liposuction treatment for both men and women. At The Private Clinic, we perform over 1,300 liposuction and body contouring procedures per year and work with highly experienced surgeons.

How to choose the best liposuction doctor near me

September 8, 2018 by Steffanie Griffiths Leave a Comment

Choosing a doctor for liposuction (also known as liposculpture or suction assisted lipectomy), is a daunting decision. Your safety is everything and you want to be confident you will be recommended the best possible treatment and changes for you.

We’re here to give you guidance on what you should research and look for when selecting the best doctor for your treatment…

  • Selecting a doctor with extensive experience performing liposuction who performs regular procedures, is your priority, for the safest and best results. If you choose a specific liposuction method, ensure you doctor has expertise and experience in that particular technique.
  • See what has been achieved for other patients. Search the doctor or clinic’s before and after photos which may be found on their website or community-driven websites such as RealSelf. Although each patient is unique, taking a look at cases similar to yours can provide a helpful indication of what that doctor or clinic could do for you.
  • Ensure to read patient reviews and testimonials. These provide a more realistic indication of the journey you could expect with that surgeon or clinic. Patient reviews may be found on the clinic website, and sources such as consumer review sites such as Trustpilot and Google Reviews.
  • Learn about the quality of care and aftercare provided for patients. This may be seen through the clinic website and consumer reviews, testimonials and stories. You may want to find out if aftercare cover is provided, if and how many post-operative care appointments are offered, if you are assigned a patient advisor, and more.
  • Find out if a wide range of liposuction options are available, so you can have peace of mind you will be advised and achieve the best method for you. Several variations of liposuctions can achieve different variations of body contouring and fat removal. These include: Vaser Liposuction, Micro Liposuction, Surgical Liposuction, Vaser Hi-Def, Mid-Def, Vaser 360 Leg contouring and Vaser 4D, which are all available at The Private Clinic.
  • Before making a final decision it is vital to first of all book a face-to-face consultation with the practitioner who will be performing the procedure. Ensure you feel comfortable with the practitioner, are confident in their abilities, safety standards, care and aftercare, and are pleased with their recommendations. Ask to find out if the surgeon or clinic has a bespoke approach and tailors results to each patients.

Liposuction Treatments for Men

April 12, 2018 by Steffanie Griffiths Leave a Comment

Did you know liposuction represents the fastest growing cosmetic procedure for men within the UK?  Many men choose to correct areas of stubborn fat, unresponsive to exercise or diet efforts, in pursuit of enhancing their confidence, feeling more in proportion or in the hope of achieving a healthier lifestyle. And what areas are they treating? Some of the most popular areas of the body men choose to correct with liposuction include hard-to-shift flanks (love handles), gynecomastia (man boobs), a troublesome double chin and an oversized or undefined stomach.

For the low-down on these popular areas, how they got there and your options for dealing with them, we’ve got you covered in this blog.

Chin and Neck

With age, muscles on the neck gradually become more lax. With the skin on male patients usually heavier and thicker, this means many older men develop a prominent double chin or undefined jaw lines through the years. This can significantly age their appearance and make them look heavier. It is also not unusual for young men, who may also be fit, slim and healthy to have an excess of fat on their lower chin or neck.

So what can be done? Vaser Liposuction and Micro Liposuction are both popular minimally invasive options for removing fat from and contouring this area. Vaser Liposuction, first of all, is an advanced form of liposuction for targeting small stubborn fatty areas in particular regions. And how does it work? In the procedure, tumescent fluid is injected into the area of target, separating fat cells from any connective tissue (reducing later bruising or swelling) before a small probe is inserted. The Vaser probe emits ultrasound energy and liquefies fat cells before they are removed with liposuction. Micro Liposuction is a highly effective alternative, with the ability to remove approximately 10-20ml of fat from the area, which is usually ample to reduce a double chin’s appearance or submental fullness. In Micro Liposuction procedures, tumescent fluid is also injected, prior to making a small incision and inserting very small microcannulas for fat removal. For larger patients with a higher BMI and significant amount of excess fat for extraction, Surgical Liposuction is appropriate. However, a more invasive option, this procedure requires general anaesthetic and involves more downtime post-treatment.

Male Chest (Gynecomastia)

Affecting 15% of adults in the UK, gynecomastia, otherwise known as “man boobs,” occurs when an excess of tissue or fat occurs within the male breast. Creating an irregular appearance, the condition can make some feel self-conscious, leading them to look for a solution.

Excess fat in the area is a form of the condition called pseudo-gynecomastia and commonly a result of factors such as drug addiction, obesity and high Acidic pH levels, of which can be a result of excessive junk food consumption. Psuedo gynecomastia can be resolved by Vaser Liposuction, Micro Liposuction or Surgical Liposuction. When the tissue is thick and hard to extract with Micro Liposuction, Vaser Liposuction is more effective. For patients struggling to tone or shape despite efforts, and looking to achieve ultimate definition, Vaser Hi-Def, a variant of Vaser Liposuction, is a highly advanced solution. The pioneering body contouring procedure removes deep and superficial fat around the muscle groups, to increase the visibility of toning and musculature, leaving a sculpted and athletic appearance.

Abdomen/Stomach

A bulging abdomen is a frequent complaint and highly popular area of treatment for male patients, with the main culprits of the area being poor diet and insufficient activity.

The infamous ‘muffin top’ or ‘spare tire’ can be corrected with Vaser Liposuction, Micro Liposuction or traditional Surgical Liposuction. In liposuction to this area, a suction is used to remove fatty deposits from underneath the skin as well as above the stomach muscles.

As per above, Surgical Liposuction patients however, tend to be larger in size. Vaser Hi-Def (as pictured to the right) is also an option in liposuction to the abdomen. The procedure can achieve high definition, and with the treatment it is possible to achieve the look of an athletic six pack.

Flanks (Love Handles)

The flanks, or in other words, ‘love handles’ are another popular area of target. This is the hard to budge fat at the side of your body, in the area between the ribs and hips. Unfortunately, excessive sugary, starchy or fatty food leaves behind this pesky fat, spilling over our waistbands. Stress and a lack of sleep are also contributors of this weight gain, and even more, they can alter hormones in a way which encourages the body to store fat instead of burn it.

How can you say a happy good bye to this area unresponsive to efforts? Micro and Vaser Liposuction, Vaser Hi-Definition or Surgical Liposuction are both effective option for eliminating troublesome fat pockets from the waist.

How many areas can I treat at the same time?

For Vaser and Micro Liposuction, and the traditional procedure, several areas can be targeted at one time. Although, at The Private Clinic, we advise a limit of the amount of fat to be extracted in one session. For Vaser Liposuction, we recommend a maximum of 3 litres per session, for Micro Liposuction, 3.5 litres and for Surgical Liposuction, your surgeon will inform you of the amount of fat that can be removed in your individual case.

Why choose The Private Clinic?

We offer a multi-award winning selection of liposuction treatments catered to the requirements of each individual patient. Our Liposuction doctors represent pioneers in their respective fields of body sculpting, liposuction and fat transfer, and combined, have undertaken the highest amount of minimally-invasive liposuction treatments within the UK.

How to Remove Fat from Stubborn Areas

October 19, 2017 by Rebecca Giffen Leave a Comment

Stubborn areas of fat are a common complaint with our patients here at The Private Clinic. Stubborn areas of fat can take form anywhere from the stomach to the arms and even the legs. But what actually causes these stubborn areas?

Many of us can feel we spend the majority of our time exercising and eating healthily but with no physical reward of a flatter stomach for example.

Here at The Private Clinic we offer a range of procedures to help you reduce or remove stubborn areas of fat which we will go into below;

Vaser Lipo

Vaser (Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance) liposuction is a specialised and minimally invasive fat removal procedure that uses the most advanced ultrasound technology which only targets fat cells leaving surrounding areas of tissue undamaged and fat cells dramatically reduced.

Areas: Thighs, Arms, Abdomen, Buttocks, Flanks, Back, Chest, Neck, Knees, Male chest reduction (gynecomastia)

Procedure: The procedure is usually performed under local anaesthetic but sedation is available if requested. A small probe is inserted through a small incision which is then used to transmit ultrasound energy which liquefies the fat cells before they are removed through a gentle suction process.

Results: You will see a result immediately after surgery however the final results are not seen until 5-6 weeks post procedure.

Downtime: There is minimal downtime and many patients get back to their daily routines within a couple of days depending on the areas and amount treated. You will experience bruising to some extent and some swelling, but wearing a pressure garment for 2-4 weeks after surgery will reduce this. To help speed up recovery we recommend a course of MLD massages after your treatment which can be performed in our London Harley Street, Leeds and Manchester clinics using the Body Ballancer treatment.

Surgeons:

  • Dr Dennis Wolf, BSc(Hons), MBBCh, MRCS, DO-HNS. GMC Number: 4773959
  • Mr Philip Lim, BSc(Hons), MB ChB, AFRCS(Ed), MRCS(Eng), FRCS(Plast). GMC Number: 4219068
  • Dr Leonardo Fasano, MD, Msc, GMC Number: 7533666

Micro Lipo

Micro Liposuction is a technique that uses smaller cannulas with smaller incisions allowing surgeons to target small delicate areas. MicroLipo is available exclusively at The Private Clinic, performed by one of the few surgeons in Europe offering this treatment – Mr Roberto Uccelini

Areas: Arms, Inner thighs, Knees, Flanks, Abdomen, Male Chest

Procedure:  The procedure begins with an anaesthetic fluid being injected into the area to be treated. The liquid fills and essentially swells the area making it tumescent as well as numbing it. The pressure in the now tumescent area is now increased which helps to separate the fat cells from the surrounding tissue. The fat cells are then easily and gently suctioned out using micro cannulas without damaging any of the surrounding tissue.

Results: Initial results can be seen immediately after the procedure but final results will be visible 3-4 weeks post-procedure.

Downtime: There is minimal downtime with this procedure but you will be required to wear a pressure garment which works to reduce swelling. The majority of patients are able to return to their normal routine within 48 hours.

Surgeons:

  • Mr Roberto Uccellini, MD. GMC Number: 7416337

Vaser Hi-Def

Assisted High Definition LipoSculpture, also known as Vaser Hi-Def is a pioneering body contouring treatment that aims to define and sculpt muscles resulting in a more athletic appearance.

Areas: Abdomen, Chest, Waist, Back, Buttocks, Arms, Flanks and Thighs

Procedure:  Vaser Hi-Def is performed under local anaesthetic and involves a probe being inserted via small incisions and an ultrasonic fat-specific wave breaks down the fat cells whilst leaving the surrounding tissue unharmed.  The surgeon at this point then works to remove superficial and deep fat surrounding muscle groups to improve the appearance of the underlying toning and muscle structure.

Results:  Results can include defined upper arms, an athletic six pack and even strong-looking pectorals.  The best results are seen after a couple of weeks.

Downtime:  Home rest is advised for the rest of the day after your procedure and some patients continue to take an additional 3-5 days off work. You may experience swelling for the first couple of weeks after the procedure but you should be fine to return to your usual day-to-day activities shortly after your procedure.

Tummy Tuck / Brazillian Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck also known as an Abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure that is designed to tighten the abdomen. An Abdominoplasty is more suited for patients who have loose skin or damage to their stomach muscles often as a result of pregnancy.

Areas: Stomach and Flanks (Extended Abdominoplasty)

Procedure: A tummy tuck is performed under general anaesthetic and an incision is made across the base of the abdomen from hip to hip. Your surgeon will take care to ensure that this incision sits within your natural bikini line. A second incision would also be made to remove your belly button before your stretched muscles are pulled together and any excess fat or skin is removed. Your belly button will then be placed in its new position and stitched into place along. Once the procedure is complete you will be stitched back up and you will wake up with your bandages already in place. A Brazilian tummy tuck is when liposuction is performed at the same time as the tummy tuck to help remove excess fat and contour the stomach.

Results:  The results are instant however you will experience swelling so it is best to wait for at least 2 weeks up until 6 months to see the final results.

Downtime: You will be required to stay in hospital after your procedure and you will need to wear an abdominal support garment. You will need to wear your support garment constantly for the first 2 weeks and then just during the day for the following month. The majority of patients tend to book 2-3 weeks off work to fully recover and ensure that they have someone to help at home for the first 1-2 weeks post-surgery.

Surgical Liposuction

Surgical liposuction is a surgical procedure where fat is removed from the body via a suction process. It is often combined with a tummy tuck for a full body sculpting procedure which is also known as a Brazilian tummy tuck.

Areas: Any area including; buttocks, hips, thighs, abdomen, chin, upper arms or knees

Procedure: Surgical liposuction is performed under general anaesthetic. Your surgeon will use a tube called a cannula that is inserted via a small incision. The cannula is connected to a powerful suction pump which works to take out the fat from the problem areas.

Results: You will see initial results immediately after your procedure but there will be swelling so the best results are not seen until several months after surgery.

Downtime: There is more downtime associated with surgical liposuction compared to Vaser Liposuction but many patients report being able to return to work a week after the procedure with minimal discomfort. You will be required to wear a support garment and avoid exercise for at least a month.

CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting or Fat Freezing is a non surgical fat reduction procedure that uses controlled cooling to remove excess fat from the body.

Areas: Chin, upper arms, bra fat, flanks, tummy, thighs, back and buttocks

Procedure: The treatment areas will be marked up and you will be able to lay on treatment bed. Once comfy, a gel pad is placed over the areas being treated to protect the skin. A CoolSculpting applicator is then applied to the area which then uses a vacuum to pull the skin into the applicator. The temperature in the applicator will then drop which will cause the area to become numb. Whilst the treatment is taking place many patients choose to read a book, watch a TV series on their tablet or check their phone. Treatment times range from 35 – 60 minutes depending on the areas being treated and after this time the applicator will be removed and the area will be specially massaged to help improve your final results.

Results: The results from CoolSculpting are gradual as it can take 4-6 months for all the targeted fat cells to be eliminated from the body. Most patients start to notice visible results within 8-12 weeks. Patients may require more than one treatment to reach their desired outcome.

Downtime: There is no downtime following a CoolSculpting treatment. You may experience soreness in the area treated similar to muscle soreness after a workout but this should settle after a few days.

The secret cosmetic procedures for men

July 31, 2017 by Rebecca Giffen Leave a Comment

There is often a common misconception that cosmetic procedures are only for women but there are actually a wide range of treatments that are very common for the male population to undergo. All it takes is a little bit of research and you are often dealt with a wide range of treatments and solutions for the concerns you are having. Here at The Private Clinic our priority is you, which is why we aim to offer the best range of treatments for both male and females to help you feel good.

Here is our list of some of the most common cosmetic procedures for men that you may have not even known existed.

Hair Transplant

Hair loss is such a common issue with men (more so than females) so it is surprising when some men have not even heard of, yet alone considered, a hair transplant. Many men assume a hair transplant means a large area of their scalp being removed which is more typical of a follicular unit transfer (FUT) procedure. We only use the follicular unit extraction method here which leaves very minimal signs that you have had anything done.

The FUE method instead extracts hair follicles one by one from your donor area and then carefully places them in the areas being treated. You will have slight redness and very small pin marks for a few days after the procedure but little to no scaring will be visible in the long-term.

We also have an option of different styles of FUE Hair Transplants, before your procedure you will be required to shave your hair which can be off-putting for many  but you may suitable for an unshaven FUE Hair transplant which does not require you to shave at all and instead extracts your donor hair at full length. Your hair is not however transplanted at full length; it is instead trimmed to the shorter length and then implanted the same as a standard FUE procedure.  You will still experience some redness but your existing longer hair will then be able to hide the evidence of a hair transplant taking place. In most cases we are able to do a partially shaven or ‘marine’ procedure meaning we only shave the back and sides, which fits nicely with the most popular haircut for men this year.

Male Chest Reduction

“Man boobs” are not generally something discussed amongst groups of male friends unless in jest, but with many men expressing their embarrassment around removing their top, going to the gym and swimming -I’m sure many would be pleased to know that there is something that can be done.

“Man boobs”, or gynaecomastia, as it is medically known, consist of the enlargement of the male breast tissue.  True gynaecomastia is not fat tissue; it is glandular tissue which is why exercise is very unlikely to make any change and in some cases can actually make it worse.

There are many ways to perform a male chest reduction, the post popular choice is vaser liposuction but for smaller areas micro liposuction may be ideal. These are both day case procedures and you will be able to return home afterwards. For larger areas then you may be recommended to have surgical liposuction which usually requires overnight stay.

Blepharoplasty

One of the biggest ageing factors for men is their eyes, hooded lids and puffy bags are common complaints for many men which unfortunately no amount of skin care will be able to reverse.

A blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure for the eyes that either targets the upper, lower or entire eye area to lift or remove excess skin surrounding it to achieve a rejuvenated youthful appearance.

A simple upper blepharoplasty is a short 30 minute procedure that can also be performed under local anaesthetic. A lower blepharoplasty is a little more complex and requires you to be under general anaesthetic and can take between 1-2 hours. Both operations are performed as day case procedures however meaning that you will not need to have an overnight stay.

Hyperhidrosis

Excessive sweating is often reserved for someone who is feeling nervous and scared or someone who has had a good session in the gym but for some of us it is an everyday occurrence that is becoming a huge inconvenience especially in warmer weather.

Hyperhidrosis is actually a medical term for excessive sweating and it can occur anywhere from the armpits to your hands and feet. What many don’t know is that there are actually some treatments that can help reduce the sweating.

Botulinum toxin can actually be injected into the skin in areas where excessive sweating occurs. The most popular place to inject is the armpits. The substance works to block the signals that run between the brain and sweat glands to stop sweating.  It does involve around 15+ injections in the areas being treated but this quick 30 minute procedure can be a saving grace for sufferers.

Hi-Definition Vaser Liposuction

The gyms are becoming busier places these days with more of us spending the time working on achieving our dream bodies but for some, the work just may not feel like it’s paying off. Stubborn areas of fat are common issues and especially when you are taking the time to eat right and exercise regularly it can be very frustrated and disheartening.

Alongside Vaser Liposuction, which is one of the most popular minimally-invasive liposuction procedures aimed at removing excess fat – we also offer a Vaser Hi-Def which goes a stage further and not only reduces the fat, but also tones it creating an athletic, sculpted appearance which is a popular choice for many men.

The procedure works by removing both superficial and deep fat that surrounds muscle groups when then enhances the appearance of the muscles and the surgeon is then able to sculpt and define the underlying muscles through a gentle suction process. The treatment is often used to create an athletic six pack, defined upper arms and strong looking pectorals.

Varicose Vein Treatment

It is incredible what an unsightly vein can do to someone’s confidence, including even the most outgoing of men.

Varicose veins are most commonly found on the legs and are easily diagnosed by their lumpy or twisted appearance.

Traditionally the treatment for veins like these was a surgical stripping method which understandably many of us were keen to avoid due to the downtime. New methods these days have made vein removal a much less painful experience with limited downtime too.

Our minimally invasive EVLA (Endovenous Laser Ablation) procedure is increasingly popular with varicose vein sufferers. The procedure takes around 45 minutes and you are able to leave the clinic afterwards with minimal pain or discomfort returning to your usual activities (with some restrictions) relatively quickly. We also offer VenaSeal, foam sclereotherapy and phlebectomy procedures to remove varicose veins.
