Hello Interloper!

If you do opt for private treatment, then endovenous laser treatment, or EVLT, which is carried out under local anaesthetic, is the best option.
EVLT uses a laser beam to seal of the varicose vein from the surrounding blood supply. With the blood supply cut off, the offending vein will simply be reabsorbed by the body and the blood flow will be diverted to other, healthy veins.
This results in the varicose vein disappearing from view, and immediate alleviation from the aches and pains that it was causing.
