Hello Interloper!

The good news for anyone suffering from varicose veins today, however, is that more modern treatments have evolved, sealing the vein within the leg rather than actually removing it.
The nature of these treatments, delivered via techniques such as EVLT laser, means that they can be applied during a single visit to a clinic or surgery.
What’s more, the minimally invasive nature of the treatment, and the fact that it only requires the use of local anaesthetic in the leg, means that recovery time is much quicker than it used to be. Indeed, I can treat a patient in this manner and then watch them walk away from the appointment and get on with their life.
