Varicose veins are commonly caused by chronic venous insufficiency, where damaged vein valves allow blood to flow backwards and collect in the legs. Over time, this can lead to enlarged veins, aching, swelling and skin changes.
At Victoria Clinic, we offer specialist assessment and treatment using Venclose™ Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA), an advanced minimally invasive procedure that closes faulty veins without the need for traditional surgery. Every patient receives a personalised treatment plan based on their symptoms and the results of a Duplex Doppler Ultrasound scan..
Healthy veins contain one-way valves that help blood flow back towards the heart. When these valves become weak or damaged, blood can flow backwards and collect inside the vein. This condition, known as chronic venous insufficiency, causes veins to enlarge and become visible beneath the skin.
Without treatment, venous disease may gradually progress and lead to discomfort, swelling, skin changes or, in more advanced cases, venous leg ulcers.

Some patients have few symptoms despite visible veins, while others experience significant discomfort with less noticeable vein changes.
Healthy leg veins contain one-way valves that help blood flow back towards the heart. When these valves become weak or damaged, blood can flow backwards and collect inside the vein. This condition, known as chronic venous insufficiency, increases pressure within the veins, causing them to enlarge, become twisted and visible beneath the skin as varicose veins.
Although many people consider varicose veins to be a cosmetic concern, they are often a sign of underlying venous disease. As the condition progresses, symptoms may become more noticeable and can include aching legs, swelling, a feeling of heaviness, skin discolouration and inflammation.
Without appropriate treatment, chronic venous insufficiency may continue to worsen and, in more advanced cases, lead to complications such as venous leg ulcers. Early assessment allows the underlying cause to be identified and helps determine the most appropriate treatment for your condition.
Venclose™ Radiofrequency Ablation is a modern minimally invasive treatment designed to close faulty veins using controlled radiofrequency energy.
Unlike traditional vein surgery, the procedure requires only a small catheter inserted under ultrasound guidance. Local anaesthetic is used to ensure patient comfort while radiofrequency energy gently seals the affected vein. Blood is naturally redirected through healthy veins and the treated vein is gradually absorbed by the body.
Treatment is performed as a day-case procedure, allowing most patients to return home the same day.
