How to achieve great looking legs

GENERAL

As the leaves on the trees are starting to turn that familiar shade of orange the majority of us may be mourning the loss of the long afternoons and warmer weather. For some of us however, the autumnal chill is a long-awaited feeling as we dig out the woolly tights and jeans in sheer relief.

For some however, that relief is not just over the excitement of a change of wardrobe, but instead goes a little deeper and is more connected to a feeling of self-consciousness over the appearance of their legs.

There are many reasons why you would want to cover up your legs from prominent veins to unwanted fat deposits but here at The Private Clinic, HRT What We Treat have a number of treatments to help you get great looking legs that you will be eager to show off come next summer!

Varicose Veins

Varicose veins are large prominent veins which take on a bulging or blue/purple appearance that many find displeasing. They are most common on the legs and feet and can cause symptoms such as swollen feet or ankles, aching legs, dry skin and muscle cramps.

Unfortunately for many people varicose veins are not serious enough for treatment on the NHS and you may just be recommended to wear compression stockings, exercise and elevate your legs when resting but these are often not enough to reduce the appearance of them.

When it comes to treating varicose veins we have a variety of treatments but our most popular is EVLA (Endovenous Laser Ablation) which is a minimally-invasive method of destroying dysfunctional varicose veins. The treatment is performed under local anaesthetic and has a quicker recovery time and higher success rates compared to traditional vein stripping.

We also offer VenaSeal, foam sclerotherapy and phlebectomy for veins that are not suitable for EVLA. In some cases it may be suggested that a combination of procedures are performed in order to give you the best possible result.

Thread Vein Removal

Thread veins are little blood vessels that run close to the surface of the skin resulting in a prominent appearance. They are often red or blue in appearance and are also called spider veins, broken veins or telangiectasia.

Thread veins are not usually dangerous but they may grow in size and new ones appear over time. Some people with thread veins actually have deeper varicose veins. If you are getting any of the symptoms of varicose veins these will need to be treated before thread veins can be treated.

There are again, several treatments for thread vein removal and your practitioner will be able to advise on the best treatment for you.
