Advanced laser and sclerotherapy treatment for varicose and spider veins — walk-in, walk-out procedure with excellent cosmetic results and lasting relief.
Varicose veins are dilated, twisted superficial veins that typically affect the legs. They develop when the one-way valves inside the veins weaken or fail. These valves normally stop blood from flowing backwards as it travels up the leg to the heart. When they malfunction, blood pools in the vein under the force of gravity, causing it to stretch, enlarge and become tortuous. The condition is more common with age, prolonged standing, pregnancy, obesity and a family history of venous disease.
Many people dismiss varicose veins as a cosmetic problem, but they are a genuine medical condition that worsens over time. Symptoms include aching and heaviness in the legs after standing, visible bulging veins, ankle swelling, itching, skin discolouration and leg cramps at night. If left untreated for years, they can cause venous eczema and eventually venous leg ulcers — open wounds that are very difficult to heal.
Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT) permanently seals the faulty vein from within using laser energy, redirecting blood flow through healthy veins. The treated vein slowly disappears over a few weeks. The procedure is done under local tumescent anaesthesia, takes under an hour, and allows you to walk out of the clinic the same day.

Before the procedure, a Duplex ultrasound scan maps the faulty veins and identifies where the valves are incompetent. This planning step ensures accurate laser placement along the diseased segment.
Diluted local anaesthetic is injected around the vein under ultrasound guidance. This numbs the area completely, compresses the vein around the laser fibre, and protects surrounding tissues from heat.
A very thin laser fibre is introduced into the faulty vein through a small puncture — no cuts needed. Ultrasound confirms the fibre tip is positioned correctly at the top of the diseased segment.
The laser is activated and the fibre is slowly withdrawn along the vein. Heat destroys the vein wall from within, causing it to collapse and seal permanently. The body gradually absorbs the closed vein over the following weeks.
No stitches needed. A compression stocking is applied immediately. You walk out of the clinic within 30 minutes. The stocking is worn for 48 hours continuously and then during waking hours for 2 more weeks.
Walk out the same day. The leg feels warm and slightly tender along the treated vein — this is expected. Manage with ibuprofen and paracetamol. Walk for at least 30 minutes.
Return to desk work the next day. Continue walking daily. Some bruising along the vein is normal and fades gradually. Wear the compression stocking during the day.
Bruising and tenderness resolve. The treated vein begins to shrink and fade. Resume normal exercise after 2 weeks. A post-procedure ultrasound confirms the vein is fully closed.
The treated vein is no longer visible. Residual surface thread veins can be treated with sclerotherapy at a separate session if needed. Most patients are very pleased with the cosmetic and symptomatic improvement.
Every EVLT procedure is planned and performed under real-time ultrasound guidance, ensuring accurate laser placement and complete treatment of the diseased vein segment.
Extensive experience treating simple and complex varicose veins, including recurrent cases and those with advanced skin changes or venous ulcers.
No general anaesthesia, no hospital admission, no prolonged recovery. You walk into the clinic and walk out the same day, fully independent.
