Frequently Asked Questions

  • 1. How Can I Prevent Vascular Conditions?

    Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is key. Exercise regularly, eat a balanced diet, avoid smoking, and manage conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes to reduce your risk.

  • 2. What Happens During a Consultation?

    Your initial consultation includes a comprehensive assessment by one of our expert consultants. This is usually followed by a Colour Duplex Ultrasound Scan to assess your veins or arteries, and a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs and goals.


  • 3. How long do procedures last?

    Most procedures are performed as daycase procedures. Patients usually walk in and walk out the same day. Depending on the choice of procedure, a treatment can take between 20-75minutes and can be performed under local anaesthesia or under general anaesthesia. 


  • 4. What Aftercare Do You Provide?

    We offer comprehensive aftercare to ensure a smooth recovery and the best possible results. This includes follow-up appointments, guidance on managing recovery, and detailed advice tailored to your treatment plan.


  • 5. How Does Follow-Up Work?

    Follow-up appointments are typically scheduled within 2-6 weeks depending on your procedure to monitor progress and assess any further treatment needs. An initial follow-up is always included in your treatment cost. Patients can contact the team anytime by WhatsApp or at their hospital of choice if they have any questions and should expect to hear back within 24 hours or sooner if an emergency.


  • 6. When Can I Fly?

    Depending on your choice of treatment, you can expect to be able to fly between 2-6 weeks after your treatment.
