Private varicose veins treatment in Blackburn

What are varicose veins?

Varicose veins are often enlarged and raised veins most commonly found in the leg. They are usually blue or purple in colour and appear lumpy or/and twisted. The symptoms of varicose veins can include:

• Tired, aching, heavy and restless legs
• Swollen feet and ankles – especially after standing for long periods
• Leg cramps – often at night
• Unsightly, lumpy or bulging veins
• Thread veins, changes in skin colour (red/brown) and skin ulcers
• Bleeding

Beardwood Hospital offers a range of varicose veins treatments and procedures.

What are the benefits of varicose veins treatment?

Varicose vein treatment can make a huge difference to a person’s confidence and the activities they choose to take part in. Treatment removes unsightly varicose veins and alleviates your symptoms - it should also help prevent further complications that varicose veins may cause.

As part of varicose vein treatment your consultant vascular surgeon will complete an initial assessment of your veins and perform a scan. This will enable the consultant to give you more detail on the severity of your varicose veins and which procedure is most suitable for you.

How much does varicose vein treatment cost at Beardwood Hospital in Blackburn?
