Finding relief from painful varicose veins
Varicose veins aren’t just a cosmetic concern; they can be downright painful. One of our patients, in their 40s, faced swelling and aching, caused by problematic varicose veins, which made daily activities a struggle. The solution involved a combination of high tie stripping (an older surgical method that is covered by health insurance) and multiple avulsions to improve blood flow and reduce symptoms.
If you’re dealing with painful varicose veins and wondering what to expect from this type of varicose vein treatment, this case study is worth a read. It offers insights into the symptoms and motivation for treatment.

Sclerotherapy Perth
Sclerotherapy for spider veins
One of the standout cases features a woman in her 40s dealing with spider veins on her lower legs and ankles. These veins became more noticeable after weight loss, knocking her confidence. She opted for sclerotherapy, a simple procedure where a special solution is injected directly into the veins, making them collapse and eventually disappear.
If you’ve ever wondered how sclerotherapy works, this case study includes a video showing the process in action. It’s a fascinating glimpse into how quick and effective sclerotherapy can be!

Endovenous laser ablation Perth
Congenital vascular malformations
Sometimes, patients face more complex challenges, like congenital vascular malformations. These are abnormal connections between veins and arteries and they present from birth. One of our case studies shares the story of a 29 yo man who dealt with significant discomfort and mobility issues because of a large vascular malformation.v
Treatment involved endovenous laser ablation to address the abnormal vessels effectively. It’s a great example of how these complex conditions can be managed with the right approach.
