Treatment for leg veins including varicose & spider veins
Dr Paul Varcoe established The Leg Vein Clinic in Broadbeach, Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia in 1995 to provide the most up-to-date treatment of all leg vein problems including varicose and spider veins. The Leg Vein Clinic offer treatments to help with the appearance and discomfort of varicose veins with either Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy or Laser Ablation depending on the severity of your varicose veins. We also treat superficial spider veins with standard sclerotherapy. All assessments and procedures for varicose or spider veins are carried out at our Gold Coast Clinic, without the need for hospitalisation, general anaesthetic, loss of work time or disruption to your every day activities. All patients walk out of our clinic after any type of treatment!

How do I know if I have varicose veins?
Answer: If you have pain in your legs, fullness, tiredness or heaviness, aching, mild swelling at the ankle, you may have varicose veins. Self care such as avoiding excessive standing, wearing support stocking and raising your legs when resting can help. However if you are unable to obtain relief from any self care, it is advisable to seek medical attention to obtain a diagnosis. See more FAQ's
