Our initial thread vein consultations include:
- a detailed examination of your legs
- finding out whether there is a family history of similar problems
- carrying out an ultrasound scan which will reveal the nature and extent of the varicose veins
Once the assessment has been completed, your Consultant will explain what treatment options are best for you, what results you can expect to see and how long the process is likely to take.
Most patients need to have two treatment sessions carried out over 6-8 weeks . Occasionally a client will require a further follow-up appointment . This is most likely where there are extensive and/or tortuous varicose and thread Veins.
Our expert team are on hand to advise you on the best vein treatment to suit your needs.
Interventional procedures performed by consultant vein specialists at HHC Vein Clinic’s are designed to restore proper venous blood flow and eliminate varicose and spider veins from venous circulation in a safe, efficient and cost-effective manner.
The best treatment for you will depend on a number of things:
- Type of vein abnormality (spider or varicose vein)
- Size (how large they are in diameter)
- Source and location of veins involved (for legs it can be thigh, ankle or behind the knee. Abnormal veins can even appear on the hands, face, breasts, back, and genital areas)
- Severity or concentration of veins
- Skin texture & colour
All of the above is determined by thorough history taking, clinical examination and US duplex assessment. Each patient being seen and assessed at HHC Vein Clinic will have a 3 step treatment strategy:
- Initial Consultation including Duplex US scan
- Main treatment episode to treat the underlying cause
- Follow up appointment, usually to complete the treatment and attain the desired cosmetic result
