Varicose Vein Treatment

19th December 2005

Varicose Vein treatment by Foam Injection comes to the McIndoe Surgical Centre

The leading varicose vein surgeons in the United Kingdom offer foam injections to remove varicose veins. The foam is injected into the varicose vein under ultrasound guidance. The procedure is certainly as effective as conventional surgery for varicose veins and in many cases probably more effective. There are several advantages to this technique such as lower cost, no scarring and a quicker recovery. The surgeons performing this technique at the McIndoe Surgical Centre are members of the British Vein Institute and are highly skilled in the ultrasound examination of varicose veins (Colour-Duplex Ultrasonography), which is essential for the success of this procedure.
