Varicose Vein Treatments
Varicose veins are a considerable cosmetic issue but also pose a threat to health. With 1 in 3 likely to develop varicose veins at some point in their life it’s also a common problem in the UK. The NHS has been under pressure from all angles to treat varicose veins with laser and heat (EVLA) treatments rather than the more invasive surgical options, which should only be used when minimally invasive options are unsuitable. NICE recommendations are in line with what many practitioners have been saying and doing for a number of years. Procedures like vein stripping are losing favour across the UK, especially as people seek out modern, less invasive procedures offered more widely in the private sector.
