Surgical Vascular Vein Treatments

Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT)

A minimally invasive procedure using laser energy to close off varicose veins, redirecting blood flow to healthier veins. Effective for larger veins.

Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)

Advanced heat-based treatment to seal varicose veins with minimal discomfort. Similar to EVLT, this method uses radiofrequency energy to heat and close damaged veins, offering quick recovery and minimal discomfort.

Ambulatory Phlebectomy

A surgical technique where small incisions are made to remove superficial varicose veins, ideal for bulging veins near the skin's surface.

Vein Stripping and Ligation

A traditional surgical approach for severe varicose veins, involving the removal or tying off of damaged veins. Performed under general anesthesia.

Endovascular Surgery

Advanced, minimally invasive procedures using small incisions and catheters to repair or remove veins, often combined with imaging guidance.

Non-Surgical Vascular Vein Treatments

Sclerotherapy

An injection-based treatment where a sclerosant solution is used to shrink varicose or spider veins, gradually fading them over time.

Foam Sclerotherapy

A variation of traditional sclerotherapy, using foam to treat larger varicose veins more effectively.

Surface Laser Therapy

Non-invasive laser treatments targeting smaller spider veins and superficial varicose veins without any incisions.

Compression Therapy

Use of medical-grade compression stockings to improve blood flow, relieve symptoms, and prevent the progression of vein issues.

VenaSeal™ Closure System

A modern technique using medical-grade adhesive to seal varicose veins, promoting blood flow through healthier veins with minimal recovery time.

Vascular Surgery FAQs

The Cardiovascular Unit at LIV Harley Street Hospital combines advanced technology with a compassionate, patient-centered approach. Our facilities and expertise allow us to manage a wide range of vascular conditions, offering treatments that are:

What is Laser Therapy for Vein Treatment?

Laser therapy uses targeted energy to close damaged veins, redirecting blood flow to healthier vessels. It’s a quick, effective, and non-invasive solution for varicose or spider veins.

What is Endovascular Surgery?

Endovascular surgery involves treating vascular conditions from inside the blood vessels, using small incisions and specialized equipment for faster recovery.

Can Non-Surgical and Surgical Treatments Be Combined?

Yes, depending on your condition, our specialists may recommend a combination of treatments to achieve the best results.

What are varicose veins?

Varicose veins are swollen, twisted veins visible just under the skin, often found in the legs. They occur when vein walls weaken and valves malfunction, causing blood to pool.

What causes varicose veins?

Causes include aging, prolonged standing, hormonal changes, and excess weight. These factors weaken vein walls and valves, leading to blood pooling and vein enlargement.

What are the symptoms of varicose veins?

Symptoms include bulging blue or purple veins, aching legs, swelling, itching, skin discoloration, and in severe cases, ulcers.

How are varicose veins diagnosed?

Diagnosis typically involves a physical exam and ultrasound imaging to assess blood flow and check for complications.

What treatments are available for varicose veins?

Treatments include lifestyle changes, compression stockings, sclerotherapy, laser therapy, and vein stripping, depending on the severity of the condition.

What is sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment where a solution is injected into veins, causing them to collapse and fade over time.

Can varicose veins lead to complications?

Untreated varicose veins can lead to ulcers, bleeding, inflammation, or blood clots. Early treatment helps prevent complications.

Are varicose veins preventable?

They are not entirely preventable, but maintaining a healthy weight, exercising, avoiding prolonged standing, and wearing compression stockings can help reduce the risk.
