Mr O’Brien offers several treatment options for eliminating varicose veins, whether you have small cosmetic veins or large varicose veins.

Treatment options include:

Smaller thread/ flare/ spider veins are treated with either Thermavein or Micro-Sclerotherapy.

Larger bulging veins will require either Radiofrequency ablation, foam sclerotherapy, glue, traditional surgery or a combination of approaches.

Conservative management:

Elasticated stockings may reduce a patient’s symptoms from varicose veins, but stockings will not eliminate the underlying cause of the varicose veins.

Glue is a newer procedure for sealing larger varicose veins.

Foam sclerotherapy can be used to treat moderate or larger varicose veins, or veins which gave recurred after prior vein surgery.

Micro-sclerotherapy
