Varicose vein surgery

For patients with varicose veins, the traditional method of treatment has been surgery to remove the vein ('stripping'). Such surgery has proven to be very effective over the years. For more information on varicose veins surgery click here.

Laser treatment for varicose veins

In recent years however, a number of new techniques including removal of the vein by use of a laser have been developed. Laser removal is believed to be very effective and is endorsed by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) for use by the NHS.

Thread vein treatment

Varicose vein surgery and laser treatment are both good at treating underlying varicose veins but are not suitable for the removal of fine thread veins (which is generally regarded as a cosmetic procedure). For more information about thread vein treatment visit www.bmicosmeticsurgery.co.uk
