Start with the vein, not the treatment.

The visible appearance alone does not always tell us which treatment is appropriate. Consultation helps distinguish small cosmetic vessels from larger varicose veins and determines whether further assessment is needed before treatment.

Small vessels

Spider & thread veins

Fine red, purple or blue vessels may be considered for treatments such as sclerotherapy, laser vein treatment or Veinwave depending on their site and characteristics.

Larger veins

Varicose veins

Bulging or symptomatic varicose veins may require a different pathway. EVLT and microphlebectomy are among the options offered by the clinic for selected patients.

Red vascular lesions

Cherry angiomas

Small red vascular skin lesions should be assessed before removal so the clinician can confirm the diagnosis and select an appropriate treatment method.

Clinical assessment

Choosing the right vein treatment.

Your consultation considers the location and appearance of the veins, symptoms, relevant medical history, medication and previous vein treatment. The clinician can then discuss which option is appropriate and what results and recovery are realistic for your case.

01 · Assess

Your concern

Discuss visible veins, symptoms, duration, previous treatment and what you hope to improve.

02 · Examine

The vein pattern

The clinician examines the type, size and distribution of the vessels and whether further investigation is appropriate.

03 · Plan

Select treatment

Options may include injection treatment, external laser, thermocoagulation, EVLT or microphlebectomy depending on the findings.

04 · Follow up

Review progress

Some concerns may require more than one session. Follow-up and aftercare depend on the procedure performed and your response.

Medical and cosmetic vein concerns

Some people seek treatment because veins are visually noticeable; others have symptoms associated with varicose veins. The treatment goal and appropriate investigation therefore differ from person to person.

Appearance

Visible superficial veins

Spider veins and facial thread veins are often treated primarily because of their appearance. Results are gradual and new vessels can develop over time even after treated vessels improve.

Symptoms

Varicose vein concerns

Prominent leg veins can sometimes be associated with aching, heaviness or other symptoms. Tell the clinician about symptoms rather than focusing only on the visible vein.

Safety

Medication & history

Tell the team about prescribed medicines, previous clots, vascular history and relevant medical conditions. Do not stop prescribed medication unless the clinician responsible for your care specifically advises it.
