Understanding Varicose Veins and Treatment Options
Varicose veins are dilated veins that often appear swollen and raised. They can be uncomfortable and may lead to more serious health issues. At VeinCentre, we offer various treatment options, including radiofrequency ablation and sclerotherapy, to effectively address this condition. Our procedures are designed to not only improve aesthetic appearance but also to relieve symptoms related to varicose veins.
Minimally Invasive Techniques We Use
Minimally invasive techniques are at the forefront of our treatment methods at VeinCentre. We specialize in radiofrequency ablation, which is performed in-office and offers a quick recovery. Sclerotherapy is another effective option we provide, targeting spider veins and small varicose veins without requiring recovery time in the hospital. Both techniques are conducted under local anesthesia, ensuring your comfort throughout the process.
