The next steps to achieve vein free legs
Your Varicose Vein Journey
Your treatment journey in Birmingham will begin with a consultation with one of our vascular surgeons.
Step 1 – Varicose Vein Consultation & Scan
Step 2 – Varicose Vein Treatment
Step 3 – Follow-Up Appointment
Step 4 – Additional Treatment if required
All vein consultations in Birmingham will include a free Duplex Ultrasound scan. This is established as the gold standard measure for assessing venous disease in the lower limbs. The ultrasound scan enables our surgeons to identify the root cause of your vein problems and be able to determine the most effective treatment to treat them.
Following your consultation and duplex ultrasound scan, you will be provided with a treatment plan.
Your treatment plan will be personalised to you depending on the severity of your varicose veins. The majority of patients are suitable for EVLA treatment. These are the recommended Gold Standard treatments for varicose veins according to NICE Guidelines. In certain cases, a combination of treatments may be required such as Foam Sclerotherapy or a Phlebectomy which can remove veins closer to the surface of the skin.
Sometimes, treatment for thread veins may be advised in place of varicose veins if it turns out that you don’t have them.
You can feel secure knowing that you are in good hands because The Private Clinic has performed over 7,000 vein procedures. Our goal is to treat your veins in a way that will restore your confidence and prevent further health problems.

Remove undesirable and bothersome veins
Endovenous laser ablation treatment is our most commonly performed treatment for varicose veins. It is considered the gold standard of varicose vein treatment by NICE and the success rate after five years for EVLA treatment is 95.4%.
Treatment involves inserting laser fibre into the areas being treated. The laser fibre heats the varicose veins causing the walls of the veins to become damaged and collapse. The varicose veins are then absorbed naturally by the body.
EVLA is suitable for most patients who come to see us although some may require a combined treatment with Foam Sclerotherapy or Phlebectomy to achieve the best results.
Sclerotherapy treatment is usually performed on patients who have thread veins. Foam sclerotherapy is much more effective at treating larger varicose veins.
Your surgeon will use ultrasound to help guide where to inject the treatment. Once injected, inflammation occurs within the vein which causes the blood to be pushed out of the vein and redirected into healthier veins located deeper within the leg.
Over the course of 1-2 weeks post-treatment the varicose veins treated will become sticky and close up gradually being absorbed by the body.
Foam sclerotherapy is ideal for patients with isolated leg varicose veins, those with extensive and large veins may require additional or combined varicose vein treatments.
A Phlebectomy is a microsurgical enlarged vein removal procedure which effectively removes varicose veins from the surface of the skin. Small 1-3mm incisions are made to remove the varicose veins from the leg.
The scars from a Phlebectomy procedure are very small and often become barely noticeable for many patients in the months following their procedure.
Phlebectomy procedures are only effective at removing the surface veins, therefore, it is common for this procedure to be performed in combination with another varicose vein procedure sure as EVLA to treat the underlying vein source.
If you have smaller thread vein or spider like veins, we can help.
Microsclerotherapy treatment is best for thread veins on the legs. It involves injecting the veins with a liquid sclerosing agent. The substance causes irritation within the vein and the vein walls become sticky and adhere together which encourages blood to re-route to healthier veins.
Regenlite treatment is a laser light treatment that is commonly used for facial veins. It can also treat minor thread veins on the legs. A high energy beam targets the affected veins and destroys the blood vessels without causing damage to the surrounding skin.
When removing thread veins, a course of treatment is usually advised for the best results.

Varicose Vein FAQs
Varicose veins and thread veins are two different types of venous conditions and require different types of treatment.
Varicose veins are enlarged veins that are often dark purple or blue in colour and most frequently appear on the legs.
Thread veins can appear on the face including under the eye as well on the legs. They are often red or blue in colour and closer to the surface of the skin than varicose veins.
It is worth noting that if you suffer from thread veins on the legs this could indicate underlying vein problems such as varicose veins. This is why when seeking thread vein treatment, your practitioner may recommend seeing a vascular surgeon for an ultrasound scan first to rule out needing varicose vein treatment first.
All leg vein consultations in Birmingham take place with a vascular surgeon and include a free ultrasound scan. This allows the surgeon to thoroughly assess your veins with the best accuracy to diagnose varicose veins or thread veins. This ensure that the most suitable treatment is selected for you. Your surgeon will also go through the vein removal procedure in more detail and outline any risks to enable you to make a fully informed decision.
Most patients are able to return to work the following day after EVLA or Sclerotherapy treatments. Those that had a Phlebectomy treatment may wish to take an additional couple of days to recover first.
You won’t be able to drive immediately after the procedure, but you are free to drive the day after provided you are feeling well and that your ability to drive safely is not compromised.
Strenuous exercise should be avoided for at least 5 days and it should be returned to at a gradual pace. This is to avoid unnecessary injury, but it is recommended that you keep active by taking regular walks.
