Your treatment pathway

How treatment works

Consultation & scan

Step 1

Using a duplex ultrasound scan, we diagnose the underlying cause of your vein problems and create a personalised treatment plan.

Treatment

Step 2

Our specialists fix the underlying cause using the most effective treatment, under local anaesthetic, and you walk out the same day.

Follow-up

Step 3

If necessary, we schedule a follow-up appointment to make sure we have achieved the results you want.

Treatment options

The right treatment for your veins

Your surgeon recommends the treatment, or combination, that suits your scan results. All are minimally invasive and done under local anaesthetic.

Most common · larger varicose veins

Endovenous laser ablation (EVLA)

A thin laser fibre is guided into the faulty vein using ultrasound and seals it closed from the inside. Blood naturally reroutes through healthy veins.

Included in treatment from £2,495 per leg
Often combined with EVLA

Foam sclerotherapy

A medicated foam is injected into the vein under ultrasound guidance, causing it to close and gradually fade.

Included in your treatment plan
Visible, bulging veins

Phlebectomy

Bulging veins close to the skin's surface are removed through tiny incisions, usually alongside laser treatment.

From £850 per leg on its own
Thread & spider veins

Microsclerotherapy

Fine injections clear small thread and spider veins. Most people need 2–3 sessions.

£495 per session
Varicose vein treatment cost

Questions about varicose vein treatment

Your questions, answered

Am I suitable for treatment?

The free online assessment gives you a first indication. Your surgeon then confirms it with a duplex ultrasound scan at your consultation, and will only recommend treatment if they expect a good outcome.

Does it hurt?

Most patients find it far more comfortable than they expected. The area is numbed with local anaesthetic, so the main thing you’ll feel is the injections at the start.

How long does treatment take, and how soon can I get back to normal?

A typical treatment takes 45–60 minutes; a larger treatment on both legs can take up to 90 minutes. You walk out the same day, and your surgeon will give you personal advice on work, exercise, driving and flying.

What are the risks?

Like any procedure, treatment carries some risks. Your surgeon will talk you through the risks that apply to you at your consultation, before you decide anything.

Will I need compression stockings?

Not necessarily. If they help with swelling or discomfort, a knee-high stocking can be worn for 5–6 days after treatment. Stockings are included in your price.

How much does it cost?

Your consultation and scan is £250. Treatment for one leg starts from £2,495, and most patients pay £2,745 in total for one leg. 0% finance is available over 6, 10 or 12 months.

Do I need a GP referral, and can I use insurance?

No referral is needed. We're recognised by Bupa, Vitality, WPA, Healix, Saga and National Friendly. Check with your insurer before booking.
