Varicose vein and thread vein treatment - Sarah's story

Premier Veins patient Sarah Butler from Sutton Coldfield, tells us about her varicose veins experience; this includes Radiofrequency Ablation and Ultrasound-Guided Foam Sclerotherapy treatment.

What problems were you experiencing with your legs before you sought treatment?

I had been suffering from unsightly, bulging and painful varicose veins in both of my legs. After putting off treatment for some time, my right leg was getting progressively worse, so I decided to finally speak to my insurer and seek treatment.

What made you choose Premier Veins for varicose vein treatment?

I was initially referred to Premier Veins by my insurer for varicose vein treatment in my right leg, however, I was so pleased with the results I decided to have my left leg treated as well, as I knew it would only get worse.

What varicose vein procedure(s) did you have?

Following an initial consultation with Mr Adam, where we discussed my varicose veins, lifestyle and expectations, I decided to proceed with both Radiofrequency Ablation and Ultrasound-Guided Foam Sclerotherapy, in order to achieve the best results possible.

Did you have any concerns or questions about your varicose vein treatment? How did we handle them?

I was naturally worried that varicose vein treatment would be painful and take a long time to recover from which, as a regular gym-goer, was a little daunting. However, Mr Adam soon put me at ease: he clearly explained what would happen before, during and after the procedure, including aftercare, recovery time and pricing. Mr Adam was very personable and polite, answered all of my queries and his team were able to book appointments that would suit my busy calendar.

What was your varicose vein treatment experience, including the level of care and discomfort and the time it took (both to treat and recover from)?

I was extremely impressed and happy with my varicose vein treatment. Mr Adam ensured I was fully informed so I knew what to expect and experienced no nasty surprises! He was very attentive, and the procedure was quick and easy with no pain afterwards and a short recovery time!

How quickly did you see the results?

I saw results with my right leg in two weeks, and my left leg a little longer as my varicose veins were in an awkward position.

How has varicose vein treatment impacted your life?

Varicose vein treatment has massively improved my quality of life. I no longer suffer from any pain and discomfort, and I am more confident in the appearance of my legs – gone are my worries about people looking at my veins!

What would you say to someone who was considering having varicose vein treatment?

Honestly, it was the best decision I have ever made. I used to be very self-conscious about my legs, but now they are absolutely fantastic – it’s like I have never had varicose veins!

Is there anything else that you would like us to mention in this case study?
