Sclerotherapy: Sclerotherapy is used to treat smaller veins that are not associated with reflux into the main saphenous veins and also to treat residual veins left after other forms of treatment. Most patients can expect at least a 75 percent improvement in the appearance of their legs.
Superficial laser treatment: This practice uses the KTP Aura Laser (532nm) for the treatment of vascular and pigmented lesions found predominantly on the face.
The Aura can treat:
Endovascular Surgery, Ultrasounds, Vein Treatment
Broken Capillaries, Cardiovascular System, Deep Vein Thrombosis, Legs, Ulcers, Varicose Veins, Vascular Abnormalities
Deep Vein Thrombosis, Seborrheic Keratosis, Pigmented Lesions, Sclerotherapy, Broken Capillaries, Clarivein Sclerotherapy, Brown Spots, Laser, Haemangiomas, Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy, Varicose Veins, Microsclerotherapy, Endovenous Laser Ablation, Rosacea
Mild discomfort and erythema (redness). This will be lessened by the use of ice packs in the first 24 hours. Scabbing, pigmented lesions can sometimes appear grey in colour. This may increase in the 2 days following treatment. This will be maximum in the first 2 to 3 days post treatment.
Do not cease any medications unless advised. Do not present with a tan and avoid sun exposure and solariums for 4 weeks prior to treatment day. Do not book for treatment if you intend to have sun exposure in the four weeks following treatment.
Do not apply moisturizers or make-up on the day of treatment. On arrival, anaesthetic cream will be applied for 30 minutes to the areas to be treated. Each session takes approximately 30 minutes.
Allergic reaction to the anaesthetic cream is rare. Hyper-pigmentation may occur if patients have sun exposure within 4 weeks of treatment. This is avoidable with the use of sunscreens. If present it may respond to bleaching creams. Hypo-pigmentation can occur but is rare. Scarring can occur but is rare.

This may have been the case when surgery was the only option but not now. If veins recur after pregnancy then they can usually be easily treated by ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy or endovenous laser ablation. We rarely treat veins by intervention during pregnancy or lactation.
These are walk-in, walk-out procedures. You can then immediately return to normal activities including driving the following day.
