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.
