It’s not vein to treat your veins

Long neglected in South Africa, the treatment of venous disease – commonly known as varicose and spider veins- is a specialized field. This is the stance of the Port Elizabeth Vein Clinic whose mission it is to develop excellence in the management of venous disorders. Having assembled a multidisciplinary team of clinicians interested in the treatment of varicose veins, the clinic aims to achieve both academic and clinical excellence. Symptoms of varicose veins include unsightly veins, painful legs, heaviness and tired legs, itching and discoloration, restless legs, pins and needles and even ulcers. Thanks to the state- of- the-art clinic those affected by these symptoms now have a variety of therapies to choose from. The practice offers radio frequency ablation, foam sclerotherapy, laser therapy, ambulatory phlebectomy and also open surgery if required. The practice treats the second highest number of patients in the country. While these innovative procedures have been gold standard treatments globally, they have not been available in

this country, yet this clinic offers pain free, non-invasive and very effective treatment of venous disease. Offered as an in-room procedure, they do not require the hassle and time commitment of hospitalisation. For those annoyed by the spread of spider veins ruining their skin tone, the pioneering PE Vein Clinic is very pleased to have recently incorporated a revolutionary procedure for cosmetic spider veins called Cryolaser Cryosclerotherapy or CLaCS. They pride themselves in being the leading specialists of the most premium and current treatment of cosmetic veins in the world. They are the first doctors trained in this advanced procedure in Africa. With the aim to revolutionise the assessment and treatment of varicose veins and venous ulcers in Port Elizabeth and surrounds, the clinic’s main procedures are covered by medical aid while cosmetic procedures are not. Just a short journey from East London, the PE Vein Clinic is conveniently situated across the Greenacres Hospital on 226 Cape Road. Contact them now for more information . 041 373 0518
