Glasgow Vein Clinic

Treatments available:

• VenaSeal™*
  VenaSeal is the latest in minimally invasive vein treatments. It uses a medical adhesive to "glue" the vein closed.

  RFA is an endovenous ablation treatment where heat is used to seal the veins

• EndoVenous Laser Ablation (EVLA)
  Similar to RFA but using laser energy to generate the heat

• Ultrasound Guided Foam Sclerotherapy
  Foam Sclerotherapy is an injection procedure done as an out-patient under local anaesthetic. 

• Microinjection Sclerotherapy
  This treatment is an injection procedure for Thread Veins

• Surgery
  Some patients need or prefer surgical treatment of their veins - a range of operations are available.

Assessment:

Ultrasound vein mapping is used at your initial consultation to determine the best treatment option(s) for your varicose veins. 

Most treatments are done under local anaesthetic  - which allows rapid return to work
