The Surrey Vein Clinic specialises in the treatment of varicose veins, spider veins and thread veins. As well as treatments, we offer impartial advice and information on a range of vascular conditions and ailments including facial thread veins, facial spider veins and varicose veins in pregnancy.
Whilst the treatment of spider veins and thread veins does not necessarily lead to surgery or removal - often facial thread veins are perceived mainly as a cosmetic problem that can be treated by creams or laser - varicose veins are usually uncomfortable, can be unsightly and because they are a progressive condition, will worsen over time. Left untreated, they can pose more serious health risks.
In general, the earlier treatment is carried out, the better the long term result.There are several different techniques for performing varicose vein surgery; the Surrey Vein Clinic has helped pioneer the use of Endovenous Laser Therapy or EVLT in the UK. This is a minimally invasive technique offering same day treatment that does not result in varicose vein removal, reducing post operative discomfort and speeds patient recovery.
