What are varicose veins?
Arteries bring blood from the heart to the extremities. Veins, which have one-way valves, channel blood back to the heart. If the valves don't function well, blood doesn't flow efficiently. The veins become enlarged because they are congested with blood. These enlarged veins are commonly called spider veins or varicose veins. Spider veins are small red, blue or purple veins on the surface of the skin. Varicose veins are larger distended veins that are located somewhat deeper than spider veins.
We offer many effective and scientifically-proven treatments for the large, painful varicose veins to the smallest spider veins. If your legs are heavy, tired, achy, burn, itch, cramp, swell, or feel restless you probably have some venous disease.
Spider Veins
Often people develop small spider veins or broken capillaries on their legs.

What technology is used for deeper blue veins (varicose veins)?
The laser component of the LumenisOne™ system is used to treat larger, deeper veins (i.e. reticular veins). These veins respond to the precise energy level and wavelength of light that is used. A small beam of laser light travels through the skin and is absorbed by the blood within the vein, on the basis of its color. The resulting heat coagulates or clots the blood and destroys the function of the vein. This process does not affect any of the surrounding tissue. Over time, the vein will be absorbed by the body and will disappear from sight.
OUR LUMENIS ONE LASER UNIT AT THE ROYAL AESTHETIC CLINIC WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH THE BEST RESULTS.
Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy can be used to treat both varicose and spider veins. A very small needle is used to inject the veins with a medication that irritates the lining of the vein. In response, the veins collapse and are reabsorbed into the body. The surface veins are no longer visible. Sclerotherapy relieves symptoms due to varicose and spider veins in most patients. With this procedure, veins can be dealt with at an early stage, to help prevent further complications.
