The symptoms of varicose veins can include:

• Tired, aching, heavy and restless legs

• Leg cramps – often at night
• Unsightly, lumpy or bulging veins

What are the benefits of private varicose veins treatment?

Private 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 private 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.

Private varicose vein treatments at The Droitwich Spa Hospital

Most varicose vein treatment is minimally invasive and performed as a keyhole procedure, under local anaesthetic as walk-in, walk-out treatments. All minimally invasive techniques work by destroying the inner lining of the vein, ablating or sealing the varicose vein.

Modern techniques for treating varicose veins include the following:

• Radiofrequency ablation (VNUS Closure)
• Ultrasound guided foam sclerotherapy
• Surgical removal
