Laura’s Varicose Vein Treatment
Laura came to visit us at The Clinic after being varicose vein treatment on the NHS. Laura felt that her unsightly veins ruined her legs and were her career as a model. She was told that unless her veins were at risk of bleeding out that she would never be accepted for NHS leg vein .
After attending a consultation with one of our expert consultant surgeons, Mr Tahir Hussain, she was recommended EVLA for her varicose veins which she decided to go ahead with.
Laura’s EVLA treatment took as little as 30 minutes to perform and one month after the treatment, she was over the moon and felt confident to wear skirts again without worrying about the of her legs.
"I’m looking to get back into modeling, even if it’s just as a hobby, but I have my confidence back and that feels fantastic."
