Question 1

Do the treatments hurt?

Accepted Answer

Most patients report minimal discomfort. We use local anaesthetic where needed, and many patients are surprised at how comfortable the experience is.

Question 2

How long until I see results?

Accepted Answer

This varies by treatment. Spider veins treated with UGS typically fade over 4-6 weeks. Larger veins treated with EVLA or VenaSeal show improvement within weeks, with full results over 3-6 months.

Question 3

Will my veins come back after treatment?

Accepted Answer

Treated veins are permanently closed. However, new veins can develop over time, which is why we focus on treating the underlying cause, not just the visible symptoms.

Question 4

Can I drive myself home after treatment?

Accepted Answer

Yes, most patients drive themselves home after treatment. We will confirm this is safe for you based on your specific procedure.

Question 5

How much does treatment cost?

Accepted Answer

Costs vary depending on the treatment and extent of your condition. We provide clear, transparent pricing during your consultation.

Question 6

Does my health insurance cover vein treatment?

Accepted Answer

Many health insurance policies cover vein treatment. We are a Southern Cross Affiliated Provider and work with all major insurers. We can help you understand your coverage.

Question 7

How many sessions will I need?

Accepted Answer

This depends on your condition. EVLA and VenaSeal typically require a single treatment. UGS usually requires 2-4 sessions for best results.

Question 8

What is the difference between UGS, EVLA, and VenaSeal?

Accepted Answer

Each treatment suits different situations. UGS is ideal for smaller veins, EVLA is the gold standard for larger veins, and VenaSeal offers the fastest recovery with no compression stockings. We will recommend the best option for you.

Question 9

Am I a good candidate for treatment?

Accepted Answer

Most people with varicose veins are good candidates. The best way to find out is to come in for a chat where we can assess your specific situation.

Question 10

What should I wear to my appointment?

Accepted Answer

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. Shorts or a skirt can make it easier to examine your legs.
