Get Rid of Varicose Veins With No Surgery, Scar or Anaesthesia

Laser ablation is a minimally invasive, clinically proven alternative to surgical vein stripping that effectively and safely treats varicose veins by passing either a laser or radio frequency fibre directly into the vein. Heat is then applied to cauterise the vein from the inside.

Benefits of laser ablation

• Short treatment times, normally less than one hour
• Procedure is performed in a normal treatment room
• No general anaesthesia or hospital stay is required
• Minimal pain or bruising following the procedure
• Immediate relief of the symptoms of varicose veins
• No scars
• Excellent clinical outcomes

What to expect at your procedure

• The procedure is performed under ultrasound guidance
• Local anaesthetic is infiltrated along the length of the vein to be treated
• A thin fibre is inserted through a tiny entry point (usually near the knee)
• It takes about 3 minutes to seal the faulty vein
• You will be required to wear tight surgical stocking for 14 days
• Normal daily activity can be resumed immediately
