Expert Vein Care, Now in Basingstoke

We are thrilled to announce the opening of a new UK Vein Clinic location in Basingstoke, offering state-of-the-art treatment for varicose veins. This clinic is a part of our mission to make world-class vein care accessible to more people across the UK, and we’re excited to bring our expertise to the Basingstoke community.

What Are Varicose Veins?

Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that often appear on the legs. They develop when the valves inside the veins stop functioning properly, causing blood to pool rather than flow smoothly back to the heart. This leads to the visible bulging veins that are often associated with discomfort, heaviness, and swelling in the legs.

While varicose veins may often be confused as a cosmetic issue at first. They are a progressive disease and can become worse over time if left untreated. They can also be a sign of underlying venous insufficiency, a condition that affects the circulatory system, which is why it is important to treat them sooner rather than later.

Why It’s Important to Treat Varicose Veins

Many people delay seeking treatment for varicose veins, thinking it’s only a visual concern. However, varicose veins are more than just a cosmetic issue. If not properly managed, they can lead to complications, such as:

  • Increased discomfort: The aching, throbbing, and swelling caused by varicose veins can become more severe over time, making it difficult to stay active.
  • Skin changes: Chronic venous insufficiency can cause changes in the skin, including discoloration, inflammation, and thickening. In some cases, it can lead to the development of venous ulcers, which are difficult to heal.
  • Blood clots: Varicose veins increase the risk of blood clots (also known as deep vein thrombosis or DVT), which can have serious consequences if the clot travels to the lungs.
  • Worsening vein disease: Varicose veins are a progressive condition. The earlier you seek treatment, the easier it is to manage and prevent future complications.

Whether you’ve just developed your varicose veins or if you have a longer history with them, our Basingstoke clinic offers cutting-edge treatments to help tackle your varicose veins at any stage.
