– Varicose Veins Treatment in UK –

Varicose veins are enlarged or swollen veins on the legs or feet, which are caused by damage to the valves in the deep veins of the leg.

These are usually purple or blue in colour and are often twisting, bulging or lumpy in appearance. You need to consult an expert for varicose veins treatment.

You may not be conscious of any problems caused by your varicose veins, but often they can be troublesome. They may cause your legs to feel aching, heavy or uncomfortable, and your feet or ankles may swell. The skin over these veins can be thin, and feel dry or itchy. There may be a throbbing or burning feeling in your legs, and muscle cramps may be a problem.

Varicose veins are caused by a weakening in the walls and valves of the deep veins of the leg. The valves which usually prevent back-flow of blood as it flows towards the heart become leaky and blood flows backwards. It’s not well understood as to why this happens, but there are some things can increase the chance that you will develop varicose veins.

Varicose veins effect 1 in 3 people on average, and these can be problematic veins which cause pain and aching, or they can be asymptomatic, causing no pain or discomfort, but the person affected my find them unsightly and feel self-conscious about them. They present as swollen and enlarged veins, usually dark blue or purple in colour and can often bulge from the surface of the skin in a twisted and wiggled appearance. Private varicose vein treatment near me is available at RejuvaMed for both those who have painful symptoms and those who are seeking treatment for cosmetic purposes.

At RejuvaMed we offer varicose vein treatment with our consultant vascular surgeon, Mr Vittorio Perricone, which has benefitted many patients in the Lancashire area as sadly, varicose veins treatment isn’t readily available or easily accessible through the NHS, making it more difficult for those suffering with this condition to find quick, affordable and safe varicose vein treatment UK.

The symptoms of varicose veins include swelling and throbbing, itching, aching and cramping, a burning sensation, varicose eczema, and feelings of tiredness and restlessness in the legs, although not every patient will experience or necessarily notice these symptoms until they are relieved following successful varicose veins treatment!

Varicose veins appear when there is a ‘venous insufficiency’. This means that vein walls and one-way valves within them have weakened or failed, and aren’t able to work as they should, causing blood to collect or pool in the vein. At RejuvaMed, Mr Perricone offers a range of minimally invasive surgical treatments which improve the appearance of varicose veins, ranging from radiofrequency ablation and Venaseal (one of the latest most innovative varicose vein treatment UK), through to phlebectomies (avulsions) and also treatment for the appearance of finer spider veins and thread veins.

Although we may be able to clearly see your varicose veins by simply looking at your legs, a colour duplex ultrasound scan is required in order to provide an accurate diagnosis as to the underlying cause of the problem, and at RejuvaMed this scan is performed during your consultation as a part of your private varicose vein treatment, therefore meaning you only need to attend one appointment before proceeding with any treatment.
