Specialist Vein Care Melbourne provides state of the art techniques in its clinic for the diagnosis and treatment of vein disease, including Varicose, Reticular and Spider Veins.

These vein removal procedures are:

• Minimally invasive
• Extremely effective
• Little or no discomfort
• Minimal risk
• No/minimal downtime

This is an effective alternative to the traditional surgical methods of vein ligation and stripping which is performed under general anaesthetic.

Determination of the best vein removal treatment option, the type of treatment performed and the treatment outcome are heavily dependent upon the accuracy of the Duplex ultrasound examination and findings.

This practice incorporates a Vascular Laboratory – Independent Vascular Ultrasound; combining the very best ultrasound machines together with extremely experienced dedicated Vascular Sonographers with many years of experience.

In addition, these Vascular Sonographers have for years worked in a phlebology environment and thus have a deep understanding of what is required for accurate diagnosis and the requirements essential in selecting the best treatment option.
