Phlebectomy

Phlebectomy is particularly effective in removing bulging veins close to the skin’s surface. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, is well tolerated, and ensures the vein has been removed. It has a quick recovery time, with most patients able to return to normal activities within a few days.

Studies have shown that when used in combination with other techniques it reduces the need for multiple follow-up injections, reducing staining, improving quality of life and reducing symptoms much quicker.

Before and after

This patient received treatment for a varicose vein on his right leg. Varicose veins are bulging, enlarged veins. Any vein that is close to the skin's surface, called superficial, can become varicosed, and most commonly appears on legs. A combination of radiofrequency ablation and phlebectomies were used to successfully treat the varicose vein. After 8 weeks, the patient’s leg was fully healed and feeling great.
