Varicose Veins

Varicose veins develop when the one-way valves weaken or fail, allowing blood to flow backwards and pool in the veins. This creates pressure, causing the veins to become enlarged, twisted, and visible beneath the skin. While varicose veins are often considered a cosmetic concern, if untreated, they can lead to discomfort, swelling, and even serious complications.

Symptoms of Varicose Veins include:

  • Visible, bulging veins.
  • Aching or heaviness in the legs.
  • Swelling, itching, or skin changes.
  • Pain after standing or sitting for long periods.

While lifestyle changes and exercise can help alleviate symptoms, professional intervention is often necessary for advanced cases.

Treatments at Vein Solutions

Mr Dimitri and his team at Vein Solutions offer a range of minimally invasive procedures designed to provide effective relief with minimal downtime. Each varicose vein treatment plan is tailored to the individual, ensuring the best possible outcomes for every patient.

  • Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA)

This advanced procedure uses laser energy to close off problematic veins. Performed under local anaesthetic, EVLA is a quick and effective alternative to traditional vein stripping. Patients can typically return to their normal activities within days.

  • Foam Sclerotherapy

Foam sclerotherapy involves injecting a specially formulated foam into the affected vein, causing it to close and eventually fade. This is an ideal option for treating smaller or recurrent varicose veins.

  • Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)

RFA uses radiofrequency energy to heat and seal varicose veins. Like EVLA, it is minimally invasive and delivers excellent results with a fast recovery time.

  • Cyanoacrylate Glue Treatment

Mr Dimitri is at the forefront of cyanoacrylate glue treatment, a revolutionary approach to sealing varicose veins with medical adhesive. This technique requires no compression stockings post-treatment, making it a convenient option for many patients.

Treatment Expectations

  • Initial Consultation

Your journey begins with a thorough consultation, during which Mr Dimitri will assess your condition using duplex ultrasound scanning. This non-invasive diagnostic tool identifies the root cause of your varicose veins, helping to determine the most appropriate treatment.

  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

All treatments are outpatient procedures, meaning no overnight hospital stay is required. Local anaesthesia ensures comfort, and the procedures are completed within 45 minutes to an hour per leg.

  • Post-Treatment Care

After treatment, most patients are encouraged to resume walking immediately to promote healthy circulation. Depending on the procedure, compression stockings may be recommended for a short period. Follow-up appointments ensure your recovery is on track and any concerns are addressed promptly.

When to See a Vascular Consultant

If you’re experiencing persistent symptoms or your varicose veins are affecting your quality of life, it’s time to seek professional advice. Signs that may indicate the need for treatment include:

  • Pain, heaviness, or swelling that worsens throughout the day.
  • Skin changes such as discolouration or thickening.
  • Open sores or ulcers near the ankles.
  • Persistent itching or irritation.

Ignoring these symptoms could lead to complications such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or venous ulcers. Early intervention alleviates discomfort and prevents the condition from progressing further.
