About The Vein Institute
specialises in the treatment of Varicose and
Spider leg veins.
Varicose
veins are more than a cosmetic concern. The may lead to circulation issues if
untreated.
All
of our treatments do not involve any surgery, allowing you to "walk
in" and "walk out".
What Symptoms Could I Have?
Generally vein pain can be associated with a dull ache or heaviness. Swelling
or itching of the legs at the end of the day can also occur. Rarely a brown
pigment can be seen around the veins.
What Will Happen During My First
Visit?
One of our doctors will take a medical history and listen to your concerns
before performing a scan and letting you know whether you have varicose vein
disease. A discussion of your treatment options will also happen.
Why Do I Need a Scan?
Varicose veins are easy to diagnose on the surface but require a specialised
safe scan (known as ultrasound) to assess deeper varicose veins which cannot be
seen from the skin. These scans do not require any preparation and will be
performed on your first visit.
Do I really need treatment?
Every case is different, and you need to discuss your personal circumstances
with one of our highly skilled Doctors. Apart from the symptoms that present
with varicose veins, they can be unsightly too. There are some veins that can
cause medical symptoms, and again we strongly suggest you discussing your case
with our doctors.
Your treatment outcomes
To bring your vascular system back to health, your varicose veins must be
treated effectively. Your blood will then be able to find its way back to your
heart via a more efficient path. Failure to do this will result in the
continued blood flow in the wrong direction. This can be a serious condition
and we urge you to speak to one of our Doctors.
