Spire Southampton Hospital now offers ultrasound guided foam sclerotherapy, a minimally invasive treatment for removal of varicose veins.
Consultant Vascular Surgeon, Mr Simon Payne, offers this treatment to suitable patients as an alternative to varicose vein surgery. The treatment is carried out in an outpatient setting and requires little time off work.
Unlike Varicose Vein surgery, ultrasound guided foam sclerotherapy.
• does not require a general anaesthetic
• requires no cuts in the legs - so there is no risk of wound infection or scarring
• is virtually painless
• is associated with much less bruising
• patients normally have a rapid return to work
• does not require any shaving of hair; a major bonus for the men!
For those who may not be suitable to receive this treatment, Mr Payne also carries out duplex ultrasound tailored surgery.
