Varicose vein investigation — what to expect
Varicose veins can cause aching, heaviness, swelling, itching, or skin changes. A proper assessment (including duplex ultrasound) helps confirm what's happening and avoids unnecessary treatment.
We start with your symptoms, what you've noticed, and what you want to achieve (comfort, appearance, or both).
A duplex scan maps the veins and blood flow. This helps us confirm the cause of symptoms and plan targeted treatment.
If treatment is appropriate, we'll explain the options clearly and recommend what's best for your veins and lifestyle.
Many varicose vein procedures are performed as day-case treatments, with patients typically walking immediately afterwards.
Depending on your scan, treatment may include radiofrequency ablation, foam sclerotherapy, and/or avulsions (phlebectomies). We'll explain what each option involves and what recovery typically looks like.
