Your Varicose Vein Journey

Your Varicose Vein treatment journey in Manchester will begin with a consultation with one of our vascular surgeons. All of our consultations will include a Duplex Ultrasound scan which is firmly established as the gold standard measure for assessing venous disease in the lower limbs. An ultrasound scan enables our surgeons to identify the root cause of your varicose vein problems and be able to prescribe the most effective treatment to treat them.

Step 1 – Varicose Vein Consultation & Scan
Step 2 – Varicose Vein Treatment
Step 3 – Follow-Up Appointment
Step 4 – Additional Treatment if required

After your consultation and duplex ultrasound scan, you will be provided with a treatment plan. Everyone’s treatment plan is personalised to them depending on the severity of their varicose veins. The majority of our patients are suitable for EVLA or RFA treatment. These are both very similar types of treatment that are recommended by NICE Guidelines for treating varicose veins.

Some patients may also require a combined or alternative treatment of Foam Sclerotherapy or a Phlebectomy to help with veins closer to the surface of the skin.

The Private Clinic has performed over 7,000 vein procedures so you can be rest assured that you are in safe hands. We are dedicated to finding you a varicose vein treatment that is going to help regain your confidence whilst avoiding health issues.

Varicose vein treatment costs at our Manchester clinic are very competitive and in line with our extensive experience in treating varicose veins. A more accurate quote will be provided to patients following an ultrasound scan and consultation with our vascular surgeon.

The Varicose Vein Specialists You Can Trust in Manchester

Varicose Veins can cause a variety of discomfort. Many patients who come to see us explain how uncomfortable they feel about showing their legs which can prevent them from wearing certain items of clothing and attending social events

We offer a range of different varicose vein treatments at our clinic in Manchester. They are all performed in our in-house theatre, under local anaesthetic and don’t require an overnight stay meaning you will be able to return home shortly after your procedure and recover in familiar surroundings.

Treatment for Varicose Veins

  • Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) – Gold Standard radiofrequency vein treatment that focuses on treating the root of varicose veins
  • Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) – Gold Standard laser treatment that treats the underlying cause of varicose veins
  • Foam Sclerotherapy – Commonly used as a secondary treatment to EVLA or RFA
  • VenaSeal – Ideal for needle-phobic patients and those who require a quick recovery
  • Phlebectomy – A microsurgery procedure that physically removes varicose veins from the leg

Treatment for Thread Veins (Spider Veins)

  • Microsclerotherapy – A very common and effective injectable treatment for spider veins on the leg.
  • Intense Pulsed Light – A non-invasive treatment that uses high-intensity light sources to treat thread or spider veins on the face or legs.

Find out more information on our treatments below.

EVLA

EVLA/Endovenous Laser Ablation is considered the Gold Standard of treatment for varicose veins by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE), a non-departmental public body whose aim is to encourage the best healthcare practices across the country. The treatment works to locate the damaged vein with ultrasound, before using laser heat to collapse the wall of the vein and destroy the cause of the problem. EVLA is performed under local anaesthetic and boasts much speedier recovery times and success rates than traditional vein stripping.

RFA

RFA/Radiofrequency Ablation treatment is a NICE approved Varicose Vein treatment also known as an Endothermal Ablation technique. The treatment has a similar success rate as EVLA. Ultrasound is used to accurately position the catheter into the veins being treated. The small catheter uses radiofrequency thermal energy to heat the walls of the vein which then shrinks and causes the vein to seal closed. Blood will reroute to other healthy veins and the treated veins will be absorbed by the body over time. Compression stockings will need to be worn for at least one week after the procedure but overall it tends to have faster recovery time compared to laser treatments.

Foam Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy treatment is usually only suitable for smaller thread veins however our foam sclerotherapy treatment can be really effective on larger varicose veins. The treatment involves a foam solution being injected into the vein which eventually causes the vein to close, shrink and disappear. The treatment is quick, often taking less than 30 minutes and performed under local anaesthetic

VenaSeal

VenaSeal is a closure system that uses medical adhesive to close varicose veins. This treatment is ideal for patients who have a phobia of needles as it only requires one small injection per vein. A small catheter will be inserted and guided through the leg using ultrasound imaging. A VenaSeal tool is then used to dispense small amounts of medical-grade Sapheon Glue to close the vein. When the vein has closed, the blood is re-routed through healthier veins that are deeper within the leg. The original varicose vein is then gradually absorbed by the body. VenaSeal boasts a quick recovery time with many patients being able to get back to work and exercise a lot quicker and without the need to wear a compression garment throughout the recovery period.

Phlebectomy

Varicose vein removal by Phlebectomy is best for enlarged vein removal, particularly varicose veins that are close to the surface of the skin. The veins are first marked up by the surgeon before the areas are then anaesthetised using local anaesthetic. Tiny incisions are then made to remove the veins from the area using a very fine surgical hook. The treatment is painless, no stitches are required and patients are able to return home the same day.

Phlebectomy procedures are usually combined with EVLA to fully treat both the surface and any underlying veins.

Thread & Spider Vein Treatment

We also offer thread vein treatments at our Manchester Vein Clinic with microsclerotherapy treatment for thread veins.

Microsclerotherapy is an injectable treatment ideal for removing thread and spider veins from the legs. The treatment involves injecting a small amount of sclerosing agent into the veins that is designed to irritate the inner vein walls and make them sticky. This causes the walls of the spider veins to stick together and close up. The results from microsclerotherapy are usually instant but redness in the areas treated may occur in the days following treatment. All patients will be required to wear compression stockings for around 21 days following treatment. Multiple treatments may be required to achieve the best results.

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment can be used to effectively remove thread veins on the face, body and legs. The treatment is best performed on fine thread veins and results can be seen after just one session. More pronounced spider veins often require multiple treatments. The skin may appear red and sometimes swollen for around 24 hours following treatment but no further significant downtime is required.

Varicose Vein FAQs

What causes Varicose Veins?

Varicose veins are caused when the vein walls and valves become weak leaving them unable to function correctly. When this occurs, blood can flow backward and pool in the vein, causing the veins to stretch or twist. There are certain risk factors which can make you more prone to developing varicose veins which include:

  • Weight gain
  • Pregnancy
  • Genetics
  • Ageing
  • Standing/Sitting for long periods

What causes Thread Veins?

Thread veins are blood vessels that have broken. This is caused when pressure is put on capillaries and finer veins causing damage or expansion of the vein resulting in them becoming permanently dilated.

There are numerous factors which can cause thread or spider veins.

  • Age
  • Trauma
  • Genetics
  • Hormonal Changes
  • Medical Conditions

Do my Varicose Veins need treating?

Varicose veins are not only an unsightly nuisance, but they can also be potential health hazards putting you at risk of blood clots, ulcers, swelling, hyperpigmentation, and venous disease.

Many patients who come to see us describe feeling pain and discomfort in the legs, itchiness, fatigue and swelling of the skin which are all symptoms of varicose veins that can continue to become worse over time if left untreated.

Do Varicose Vein treatments hurt?

All of our varicose vein treatments are performed under local anaesthetic so you should not feel any pain during the procedure and our expert team will be on hand to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.

In the hours following a varicose vein treatment, once the local anaesthetic has worn off, patients may experience a little discomfort, but this is minimal and can be easily managed with pain relief if required.

Are thread vein treatments painful?

Treatment for thread/spider veins should not be painful.

Microsclerotherapy is performed under local anaesthetic.

If treating your spider veins with laser, a slight tingling or warm feeling may be felt as pulses of light are delivered.

Can Varicose Veins return after treatment?

It is unlikely for the same varicose veins to appear again once they have been treated. Varicose vein treatment however is not able to guarantee that no other veins may appear. If you are prone to varicose veins then certain lifestyle factors could cause new varicose veins to appear.

Our surgeons are keen to ensure that your results are long-lasting however so will provide you with all the information you need to know about avoiding the recurrence of varicose veins.

We average that there is a 1% chance of new veins developing each year after treatment.

Is thread vein removal permanent?

Thread vein removal treatments are permanent in that the ones treated should not return.

However, thread/spider vein treatment is not able to prevent new thread veins from developing.
