Leg Vein Conditions

Varicose Veins

These are large, dilated, ropey leg veins that bulge above the skin surface, and are usually blue or green in colour. They no longer serve the primary function of veins, which is to return blood to the heart. Varicose veins can occur alone or may be accompanied by symptoms of severe venous disease

Spider Veins

Spider veins (or telangiectasias) are the tiny red or blue veins that can appear anywhere on the body, but more often on the legs, ankles, face, chest, or abdomen. Spider veins are extremely common and usually appear with larger dilated blood vessels (often blue / green in colour) called reticular veins

Severe Venous Disease

If varicose veins are left untreated, severe venous disease may occur. This condition may have signs such as eczema and swelling in the leg. Or, the skin around the lower leg may become discoloured, thickened or even ulcerated.As well as this, patients can experience heaviness, aching and tiredness in the leg.

Varicose veins predominantly in the left lower leg but also in the right lower leg

Patient
66-year-old woman

The Problem
Prominent left lower leg capillary clusters with heaviness and tiredness in the leg.

The patient received treatment elsewhere using surface sclerotherapy alone and she noticed the veins were worse afterward. She was never given an ultrasound to check for underlying varicose veins that could be feeding it. Patients should always receive a diagnostic duplex ultrasound to rule out abnormal veins that may be feeding surface veins.

Treatment Method
A duplex ultrasound revealed an underlying great saphenous vein feeding the surface veins. The great saphenous vein was treated using Endovenous Laser Ablation and surface veins were treated with Ultrasound-Guided and Direct Vision Sclerotherapy.

Results
Results at 13 months show the surface and saphenous veins have been permanently treated. The patient was extremely satisfied with her results.

The Problem
Periorbital veins (undereye vein) for many years, causing discomfort especially in hot weather.

Treatment Method
Direct Vision Sclerotherapy

Results
Shown directly after treatment. Treatment has resulted in sclerosis of the vein.

Varicose Veins Treatment Procedures

Vein Health vein clinic provides modern medical procedures for the treatment of varicose veins, spider veins, and leg ulcers. We provide a comprehensive approach to varicose veins diagnosis and treatment; using ultrasound scans to find the root cause of the varicosities leading-edge and reliable non-surgical techniques.

Varicose veins can be treated using: Sclerotherapy, Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy, Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA), Vein Glue, Radiofrequency Ablation, or Ambulatory Phlebectomy.

Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA)

Under ultrasound guidance, a laser fibre is placed into the abnormal vein through a tiny incision. When the laser is activated and the fibre is slowly removed, this produces a reaction in the vein wall along the treated section, resulting in collapse and sclerosis of the vein wall with minimal discomfort.

Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy

Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy is a highly specialised procedure involving injecting a sclerosant solution into the abnormal veins using ultrasound guidance, causing the vein wall to collapse. The veins dissolve and disappear as the body gradually absorbs them.

Sclerotherapy

The gold standard treatment of spider veins is sclerotherapy, also known as microsclerotherapy or direct vision sclerotherapy. It involves the injection of an irritating solution, through a tiny needle into the spider veins which causes them to close over and harden over.

Radiofrequency Ablation

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) relies on thermal (heat based) damage to the vein, that leads to immediate closure of the vein. Once the vein is treated by radiofrequency ablation, it will gradually undergo complete absorption by the body and disappear over time.

VenaSeal (Vein Glue)

VenaSeal is a medical grade glue that is placed within the varicose vein using a small catheter, sealing the vein wall together in seconds. Over the coming hours, the treated vein will permanently harden over and eventually undergo absorption by the body over several months.
