Surgery remains the traditional technique for treating varicose veins and requires a general anaesthetic. |

EVLT involves the introduction of a thin tube (catheter) into the main superficial vein on the inside of the thigh through a small skin incision over the inside of the knee. |
 |
Sclerotherapy involves the use of a sclerosant and has been used for many years to treat small varicose veins.

 |
This is an alternative minimally-invasive technique using a similar principle to laser treatment.

 |
This involves injecting a small amount of a sclerosant into the inside of the thread veins using a very fine needle. Alternatively a very fine needle is introduced over the vein which transmits a local heating effect making the vein disappear instantly in most cases.

Vein Solutions is a new Cheshire-based private service specialising in a range of minimally-invasive modern techniques for the treatment of all types of varicose veins.
There have been major advances over recent years in the managment of varicose veins with the introduction of foam sclerotherapy, laser therapy and thermal ablation which have been shown to confer significant advantages for patients when compared to conventional surgery.
Most of these techniques are performed under local anaesthetic as an outpatient procedure.
