"Vein removal"

About: Frimley Park Hospital / Vascular surgery

i Had my vein stripped and laser .From the start to finish,I was amazed at how the procedure was pain free and I was comfortable through the whole procedure ,relaxing music was played throughout and in no time it was finished .The Doctor was really lovely and I was put at ease as he talked me through my procedure which was over in under an hour ,and painless .My leg was bandaged and I was given a cup of coffee as I waited for 10 minutes for a check of bandage before leaving

I showered after 24 hours ,after 2 days I removed bandages then walked twice daily .I suffered no pain ,very little swelling and the bruising very nearly disappeared after 4 weeks leaving no scars .I am sorry I didn’t have my vein removed years ago ,it was worth every penny .i am thrilled with my results as I can now exercise and bike without the nagging ache and pains and my legs now look great too .Highly recommend my consultant.
