Varicose Vein Surgery
Why Consider Treatment?
Varicose veins are more than a cosmetic concern; they often signal underlying venous insufficiency. You may require surgery if you experience symptoms that disrupt daily life or fail to respond to conservative care.
Our Advanced Surgical Options
Based on your diagnosis, a qualified vascular specialist will recommend the most effective treatment. Today, many procedures are minimally invasive and can be performed on an outpatient basis.
Endovenous Thermal Ablation (Laser / Radiofrequency)
This minimally invasive technique uses a catheter to deliver targeted heat directly to the damaged vein. The heat closes the vein, which is eventually absorbed by the body. It is highly effective, requires no large cuts, and patients often walk out of the clinic shortly after.
Ambulatory Phlebectomy
Ideal for removing smaller, surface-level varicose veins near the skin. Your specialist makes tiny (2-3 mm) punctures and gently extracts the vein in sections. Because the incisions are so small, stitches are rarely needed and scarring is virtually invisible
Vein Ligation and Stripping
Reserved for severe, large varicose veins. This involves making small incisions (usually in the groin and calf) to tie off the affected vein (ligation) and carefully pull it out of the leg (stripping). It is a tried-and-true procedure for eliminating complex varicose vein networks.
