About Us

Specialist medical centre for the minimally invasive, no surgery, treatment of all varicose veins.
Our varicose vein clinics in the North, South West, the Midlands and London are conveniently located for access to patients from the following areas: Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Exeter, Plymouth, Southampton, Swindon, Gloucester, Derby, Leicester, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Sheffield, Stoke-on-Trent and Warwickshire.

VeinCentre was created with the straightforward intention to provide the best vein treatment service in the UK at a reasonable price. Established in 2003 from the personal vision of its founder Dr David West VeinCentre was one of the UK's very first providers of EVLT (Endovenous Laser Therapy). Since then we have been at the forefront of developments in the field of minimally invasive varicose vein treatment always striving for perfection in everything we do. A comprehensive range of modern treatments is available. Over 1500 successful EVLT treatments and altogether over 3000 various minimally invasive venous treatments have been performed including embolisation, foam sclerotherapy, stenting and VNUS Closure®.
Being familiar with the needs of high profile clients we manage all aspects of our service with absolute discretion and privacy. Full domiciliary consultations with scan are available on specific request.
What gives us our unique edge is that we are a specialist non-surgical vein clinic. This focus enables us to optimise efficiency and effectiveness. High through put keeps our costs and prices down and constantly improves quality.

Unlike many private cosmetic clinics which have added varicose vein treatments to their extensive list of cosmetic treatments we JUST DO VEINS. Most of our patients come by recommendation, rather than through expensive national advertising campaigns and professional PR, which helps contain costs enabling us to keep our prices low

Our Treatments

All our treatments are minimally invasive and guided by accurate medical imaging, including colour duplex ultrasound.
It is widely accepted that any successful varicose vein treatment requires good imaging in the form of colour duplex ultrasound scanning to accurately map the anatomy (what the veins look like) and the physiology (how they are working eg. direction of blood flow). Be particularly wary if you are offered surgery without first having a detailed colour duplex ultrasound scan. A simple hand held Doppler examination is not good enough. Even with the most innocent spider veins it is important to check for valve failure and reflux as management of any sort of venous problem which neglects to detect and treat underlying reflux will fail. There may be short term success but the problem will recur and get worse.

Colour duplex ultrasound is a painless quick and non-invasive test. It is essential even in cases where reflux at the commonest site is detected clinically as the colour duplex test can detect other important features like further refluxing segments and variants of normal anatomy which may well alter the optimum treatment plan.

Unlike many centres where the ultrasound scan is undertaken by a technician, often at a separate visit, your consultant will personally undertake the scan at the time of your consultation and then be able to discuss with you exactly what the problem is and agree with you a firm and costed proposed treatment plan. If you wish you can book in for both consultation and treatment at the same time.

As with the best traditional surgical techniques we aim to cure the problems by tackling the underlying cause. This entails elimination of the reflux and removal of incompetent veins and unsightly surfaced varicose veins. This is most commonly achieved with surgery by tying the main superficial vein and its branches at the groin, stripping the main superficial vein and picking out any small unsightly varices which remain. This common operation though very successful and until recently widely accepted as the best treatment available is far from perfect. General anaesthesia and some hospital stay are required some complications like bruising, infection, scars, numbness etc can occur, time off work is necessary and the symptoms and the varicose veins themselves often return.

Our techniques also eliminate reflux and remove incompetent veins and superficial varices just like surgery but, by being performed under image guidance using microinstruments through tiny pinhole incisions, this is achieved as an outpatient, without anaesthetic cuts or scars, with excellent success rates and patient satisfaction and instant return to work and play.
