Non-surgical Varicose Vein Options at Advanced Vascular
Dr Aziz is proud to offer patients custom, cutting edge vascular therapy for their every need. Below are some of our advanced offerings that we invite you to learn more about.
It’s important you make informed choices when it comes to your vascular health. There are surgical and non-surgical varicose veins treatments available. Most patients will be able to opt for minimally invasive treatments that can be performed at our varicose vein clinic, and which require minimal recovery time.
Many modern varicose veins treatments allow you to return to your normal activities within a few days. Dr Aziz and team are proud to offer these safe and advanced new techniques.
Non-surgical Varicose Veins Options
- Radiofrequency or Laser Radiofrequency Laser and laser vein ablation are two forms of similar endovenous treatment (EVT). During these minimally invasive procedures, the doctor inserts a tiny catheter into the diseased vein. This catheter uses either radiofrequency energy or laser to deliver controlled heat or light. This shrinks the walls of the diseased vein, closing it permanently. EVT requires local or general anaesthetic, and may require an overnight stay and several days’ recovery.
- VenaSeal is a minimally invasive procedure where the doctor injects a type of glue to close diseased veins. VenaSeal treatments can be performed at our varicose vein clinic under local anaesthetic, so you won’t need to be admitted to hospital. Minimal time off work is required, though some mild pain in the days following treatment is normal.
- Injection Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure where the doctor uses a very fine needle to inject a sclerosant – a solution designed to irritate the vein walls – into the diseased vein. This causes the vein walls to swell and close permanently. This procedure may require repeat treatments to be successful; however, it is quick to perform and usually requires no downtime.
Finding the Right Treatment for You
Doctor Maged Aziz is a varicose vein specialist experienced in a wide range of surgical and non-surgical vein dysfunction and varicose veins treatment options. To determine what options will be most effective for you, Dr Aziz will first complete a thorough medical examination, including a duplex ultrasound scan. Diagnostic imaging gives the doctor a visual map of your veins, allowing him or her to assess the function and health of your veins.
Advanced Vascular offers payment options that are secure as well as flexible. Our interest-free payment plans allow you to begin treatment immediately, and then pay over a period of time that suits you.
