Varicose Vein Removal
Transform believe it is everyone’s right to look and
feel great. We all want to 
achieve a
look of smooth, unblemished skin on our face and body, and
unsightly veins are certainly not part of that look! There are
different types of veins, easily recognisable by their colour and
whether they are raised or not.
A newer treatment for larger varicose veins involves laser / radio
frequency surgery and is offered by Transform. During a
consultation with a consultant vascular surgeon you will undergo an
examination of your veins and a test called an
ultrasound.
This test uses ultrasound to look at the blood flowing through
your veins and diagnoses the cause of your varicose veins. Most
patients will be suitable for either type of treatment on
their veins called Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) or
Radiofrequency VNUS Closure.
These treatments use heat / lightt energy to seal the vein from
the inside, stopping blood flowing the wrong way down the leg and
removing the cause of the varicose veins. The operation is done
under local anaesthetic.
After the laser treatment the leg is put in compression
stocking. Patients can walk immediately after the procedure and are
discharged home the same day. Both EVLA and VNUS offer some
advantages over traditional surgery in that it may be done under
local anaesthetic, causing less pain and discomfort, less bruising,
involves no surgical incisions and allows a quicker recovery.

How is varicose vein removal done?
There are several ways to remove varicose veins.
Sclerotherapy is a treatment for minor or superficial veins on the
body, and involves a solution being introduced into the tiny vein
that collapses the capillary wall, causing the vein to disappear.
Sclerotherapy is used to treat spider veins.
EVLA and VNUS Closure are alternative treatments to eradicate
large varicosed veins.
How long will varicose vein removal take?
All our procedures will require you to have a local anaesthetic

What results can I expect from varicose vein removal?
Dependant on the severity of your veins and the technique used
to remove them, you can expect different results – all procedures
will leave you with face and / or legs that are either completely

veins. If the varicose veins are extensive, multiple sessions may
be required to rid the area. Top-up sessions may also be required
if the veins reappear.
