On your first visit our vein doctor will take a thorough history, examination, and you will get a duplex venous ultrasound examination of both superficial and deep veins in your legs.

Our doctor will then discuss any findings, a recommended treatment plan, and discuss costs and medicare rebates.

Sclerotherapy is a medical procedure used to treat varicose veins and spider veins. It involves injecting a solution (sclerosant) directly into the affected vein, which causes the vein to collapse and eventually fade from view. The sclerosant can either be in a liquid or a foam preparation. The solution irritates the lining of the blood vessel, causing it to swell and stick together, which ultimately leads to the closure of the vein.

Sclerotherapy is usually performed in a doctor's office and does not require anesthesia. It is often used with ultrasound guidance.

It is a safe and effective treatment that can improve the appearance of varicose and spider veins, as well as alleviate associated symptoms such as pain and swelling.

Endovenous thermal ablation is a minimally invasive medical procedure used to treat varicose veins when an underlying venous incompetence has been identified.

It involves using heat generated by a laser (Endovenous Laser Ablation -EVLA) or radiofrequency energy (Endovenous Radiofrequency Ablation- EV-RFA) to close off the affected vein, causing it to collapse and eventually be absorbed by the body.

This procedure is minimally invasive using keyhole surgical techniques. It is typically performed under local anesthesia and can often be done on an outpatient basis. It has been shown to be a safe and effective alternative to traditional surgical treatments for varicose veins.

Patients are typically able to go back to work and everyday activities the same or the next day!

Vascular laser is a non-invasive procedure that uses varying types and strengths of focused light energy to target and destroy small surface blood vessels. The procedure is typically quick, safe, and effective, with little to no downtime. However, results may vary depending on the severity and size of the spider veins.

It is typically reserved for small spider veins, broken capillaries and facial veins, with sclerotherapy being the more successful treatment option for larger veins.

Vein Doctors Australia has the benefit of having a trained vascular sonographer on site to perform venous scans and assist with procedures.

Some services they may provide include:

- Deep and Superficial venous mapping

- Deep vein thrombosis duplex assessment

- Leg oedema vascular assessment

- Venous insufficiency assessment

- Pelvic Vein venous disease assessment

- Superficial Thrombophlebitis assessment

Referrals or walk-in patients for venous duplex ultrasonography are also provided and welcome.
