Introduction
Treatment of Varicose and Thread Veins
The
West London Vein Clinic includes consultant vascular
surgeons who specialise in vein treatments. We
have a particular interest in venous problems
and offer you private treatment for varicose veins,
thread veins and facial veins. We are all UK accredited
specialists based at NHS and private hospitals,
using modern methods of diagnosis and management
of vein disorders. Amongst our ranks are professors
of surgery and some of the country's leading authorities
on vein problems. Our modern surgical techniques
produce beneficial cosmetic results. When seeking
advice your General Practitioner should be the
first point of contact. In many parts of the UK
the NHS regards varicose veins as a minor concern
and treatment is given low priority – or
not offered at all. Thread veins on the face and
legs are regarded as a cosmetic problem, and in
general treatment is not available on the NHS.
Our
specialists are recognised by private medical
insurance companies for the treatment of symptomatic
vein problems; if you do not have medical insurance,
surgical packages are available. Cosmetic procedures
are not covered by the insurance companies –
these are offered at competitive rates.
Our
range of services differ slightly from centre
to centre depending on the specialist equipment
available.
