Preparing for varicose veins laser treatment in both legs
If you take blood thinning medication (for example Warfarin, Apixiban, Clopidogrel, or other blood thinners) you will need to contact us before your procedure for advice. Taking Aspirin is fine, you’ll be able to have your treatment as planned.
Recovery
The treated area will stay numb for the duration of the procedure and for up to 12 hours afterwards. A white area may also appear for some of this period – this is quite normal and is nothing to worry about. After the procedure, we recommend you take the painkiller that suits you best (such as Paracetamol or Ibuprofen). You should do this for several days afterwards, even if the leg is quite comfortable. This is because it’s better to be pre-emptive about discomfort rather that have to catch up with pain relief.
Four in every 10 patients have minimal or no discomfort, while two in every 10 experience discomfort lasting two weeks. Other experience pain that lasts for just a few days.
Shortly after the laser treatment, you will be encouraged to walk. You should try to stay busy and active in the following weeks, taking at least two brisk 30 minute walks a day. You will need to wear a tight elastic stocking day and night for two weeks after the treatment. These can be taken off for showering or bathing.
Risks and complications of varicose vein laser treatment in both legs
The known risks of varicose veins laser treatment are:
- Bleeding from the puncture site: If this occurs, it always settles with elevation of the leg and pressure on the puncture point. While this may delay you leaving, and can be messy and somewhat alarming. The nurses will look after you.
- Bruising: this is quite common, can be very impressive and usually fades quickly.
- Paresthesia (numbing or prickling sensation): This is uncommon affecting less than 1 in 30 patients (3%) and is only rarely persistent.
A number of other side effects have been experienced with this procedure. It’s important to note that these are rare.
Uncommon risks of varicose veins laser treatment include:
- Superficial phlebitis (inflammation of the vein): Tenderness along the length of the treated vein can persist beyond the first two weeks. Generally only the stocking is to be retained for longer and the use of painkillers to be continued. Occasionally a tiny incision into the vein may be needed to release the pressure in the vein.
- Hyper pigmentation (darkening of the overlying skin): this can occur especially if bad bruising has occurred. It is rare (less than 1 in every 100 patients, 1%) and usually fades with time. It seems to affect patients with the biggest veins.
- Infection: is uncommon (<1 in every 100 treated patients), but any treatment that involves breaching the skin can lead to infection. If it were to develop then a short course of antibiotics will be required.
- Formation of a blood clot which could dislodge (DVT): can develop with the treatments for varicose veins. Estimates of the from 1 in 100 to less than 1 in 1000 patients treated. An increase in swelling and discomfort are the warning signs. A deep Venous Duplex scan is needed to establish the diagnosis, which if present is treated with Heparin and then Blood thinning drugs.

What is the main cause of varicose veins?
The main causes are:
– obesity
– family history of varicose veins
– sitting or standing for long periods
Does the NHS treat varicose veins?
It’s unlikely. The NHS regards treatment for varicose veins as cosmetic and therefore not essential. It’s likely you will need to opt for private treatment for varicose veins.
Do I need a GP referral for varicose veins?
Private patients opting for the self-pay route do not need a referral from their GP.
Typically, health insurance providers will need to see a GP referral.
Patients seeking treatment via the NHS will need to see their GP beforehand.
What is the most successful treatment for varicose veins?
This depends entirely on the type of varicose veins a patient has. This will dictate the treatment needed.
Is varicose vein removal worth it?
The answer to this question depends on the needs of the patient. For some people, their varicose veins will be painful, increasing the urgency for treatment. Others approach treatment from more of a cosmetic angle.
Can you get rid of varicose veins without surgery?
There are a few methods that can help get rid of varicose veins without surgery. These include wearing compression socks, maintaining a healthy weight, and taking regular exercise.
Is treatment painful?
No. While the symptoms can be painful, the treatment itself should be almost completely painless. What’s more, if successful, surgery should alleviate symptoms such as itchiness, swelling, and pain in the legs.
