Patient Testimonial - Christine (Swindon)

Twenty-two years ago I underwent traditional varicose vein surgery on both legs. I had a family history of varicose veins and leg ulcers, four babies and a career which involved a great deal of standing. The veins on my legs looked like a road map and over the years since surgery, the map has returned! I was also suffering pain, swelling and irritation of the veins. When I heard about the VNUS Closure procedure I was delighted and investigated further.



I can report that following the procedure on one leg in June, I am about to have the procedure repeated on the second leg. The procedure was performed as a day case procedure, under local anaesthetic and with minimal pain or discomfort. I did not need medication for pain relief at any stage following the procedure and I was back at work the next day! I am so pleased with the results and apart from the cosmetic improvement I no longer have pain from the veins in my leg.



I found the whole experience with the Vein Clinic, efficient, informative and friendly.
