Spider Veins & Reticular Veins
What are spider veins? Spider Veins are extremely common. They are the tiny red or blue vessels that can appear anywhere on the body but more commonly on the legs, face, chest or even abdomen.
Chronic Venous Disease
Many patients do not realise they have a complication of venous disease until they see a phlebologist. It is important to understand that varicose veins can be a progressive condition and that new diseased veins can develop with time.

The good news about new laser technology and modern sclerotherapy techniques is that patients do not require hospital admission or general anaesthetic, and can walk in and out in under an hour. These treatments are safe, effective and have a high success rate with no down time.
