Hello Interloper!

A problem that I encountered, however, was that larger veins had a higher recurrence rate following the Clarivein treatment than was the case with laser treatments.
Although continuing to monitor results and any other developments, I’m currently of the opinion that Clarivein is suitable for patients with smaller veins, but lacks predictability if applied to patients with larger veins.
In the meantime, an evaluation of the Sapheon Glue system, whilst initially encouraging, is still at a very early stage. Both of these techniques are in the process of evaluation by the National Institute for Clincal Excellence (NICE), while the EVLT laser treatment for varicose veins has been given full approval as the current ‘gold standard' for varicose vein treatment.
