Cosmetic Surgery Abroad: Varicose Veins

Varicose veins may be primarily a cosmetic concern, but can also have serious health implications. They can cause pain, leg heaviness, fatigue, itching, night cramps, restless legs at night, leg swelling and can lead to eczema, inflammation or even ulceration of the lower leg. In addition, varicose veins increase the risk of phlebitis. If varicose veins are left untreated, smaller abnormal veins may increase in number and can cause the symptoms to intensify.

Mills & Mills are proud to be working with Dr. Francis Hobb, a consultant vascular surgeon with over 20 years experience acquired through the successful treatment of thousands of patients.

We treat both patients who suffer from cosmetic concerns about veins on their face or legs, and also patients who suffer from symptomatic varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency. We provide the most complete range of venous explorations and treatments available using the latest equipment and techniques.

In recent years there have been radical changes in the treatment of venous disease. State of the art technology and precise non-invasive diagnostic tests have improved the SAFETY, COMFORT, EFFICIENCY and LONG TERM SUCCESS of therapy, which is tailored to each patient’s specific case.

Latest Advances in Treatments:

Varicose Veins
Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT) is a new minimally invasive method for treating large varicose veins that in most cases eliminates the need for open surgery. It is a walk-in walk-out procedure performed under LOCAL ANESTHESIA.

With ELVT, a single needle puncture is made in the leg and a small laser fibre is inserted into the diseased vein allowing its treatment from inside the lumen. All large varicose veins are treated in one session in the same leg. This requires only micro-incisions and no skin sutures. The aesthetic results are excellent and only one hour after treatment, the patient walks out of the clinic and returns to normal activity the following day.

Patients that require conventional surgery are also treated under local anesthestetic and may walk out the clinic the same day.

Facial Thread Veins
Facial thread veins can now easily be erased by a selective vascular laser with immediate results. This new proven technology has revolutionised the treatment of unsightly facial thread veins.One to two sessions will radically eliminate those telangiectasias with no side effects.

Leg Thread Veins
To ensure the best cosmetic results, leg veins are treated with a combination of microsclerotherapy,foam sclerotherapy and/or laser treatment, depending on their size, color, location and depth. To facilitate the accuracy and precision of sclero- and laser therapy, we utilize a unique polarized light system specially manufactured ensuring a precise identification of the diseased vessel.

Whatever the problem is, a thorough examination and a precise vascular testing using a color doppler digital scan are done to define the best solution according to each individual case.
