Varicose veins laser treatment - Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT) and Foam Sclerotherapy Treament for varicose veins are alternatives to the  traditional stripping of varicose veins.

The old, time consuming surgical stripping under general anaesthesia has evolved, replaced by new non surgical ultrasound guided techniques. These produce excellent durable results with low reccurrence. The two main non surgical techniques, Endovenous Laser treatment (EVLT) and Foam Sclerotherapy, both take approximately 30-45 minutes per leg. Patients can resume normal activities almost straight away. Both treatments are performed by Mr Rajiv Vohra FRCSEd FRCSEng PhD Consultant Vascular Surgeon.

Mr Vohra has been performing this treatment for the past 3 years and has undertaken more than 500 EVLTs. If you have a problem with varicose veins, HealthHarmonie’s can offer a range of non-surgical treatments for both men and women. We pride ourselves in offering individual care and attention; we offer a high standard of clinical care in a clean and comfortable environment.

Varicose veins are very common and affect around 60% of the adult population, men and women. They are swollen, distended veins (usually on the legs) that look lumpy through the skin.

 

Often they cause aching, pain and discomfort. Varicose veins may cause cramping, aching, burning, itching, soreness or ‘tired’ or ‘restless’ legs, especially in the calf muscles. Symptoms may seem harmless at first but can develop into serious problems if left untreated such as limitations in walking and cramps during sleeping. Eventually, varicose veins can lead to open sores on the foot, blood clots and tissue loss. Fortunately, early detection can prevent life threatening consequences. If you experience these symptoms, Mr Vohra can quickly and easily perform a test to determine if you have vein disease.

Please note that you do not need a GP referral.
