Hello Interloper!

During the consultation, you will also have the opportunity to ask the surgeon any questions or concerns you may have.
What are my treatment options?There are several options for varicose vein treatment. Most modern clinics will offer and recommend EVLA, representing the NICE (National Institute for Clinic Excellence) Gold Standard for varicose vein treatment. Patients unsuitable for EVLA should be offered another appropriate option, such as Foam Sclerotherapy, which is best for smaller veins, or Phlebectomy treatment.
Vein Stripping is an option still used by many clinics; however, the surgical procedure is more outdated, requiring extensive incisions as well as much longer recovery.
Is there an age limit for varicose vein treatment?No age limit currently exists for varicose vein procedures; however, you should be fit and healthy. During your consultation, your surgeon should discuss your medical history in order to devise your suitability for the procedures.
