A variety of methods to treat unsightly and painful varicose veins.
At Spire Abergele Clinic, our consultants offer a range of techniques to treat varicose veins – swollen, twisted, dark veins that develop due to weak valves in your blood vessels.
Varicose veins, which are typically found on the legs or feet, can be treated by closing off and destroying or removing the affected veins.

The price shown is the ‘from price’ (ie the minimum cost of the procedure). Please note that for some procedures the actual price you are quoted may vary significantly and can increase depending on your choice of Consultant (who is an independent practitioner and not an employee of Spire). The fees charged by Consultants and Anaesthetists are set independently and are outside the control of Spire. The price may also vary depending on the type of anaesthetic, implant or drug used, and your medical history.
Spire Abergele Clinic can provide you with a single, fixed price for your procedure so there are no surprises. Please read Spire Healthcare's terms and conditions for full details of what’s included and excluded in your fixed price when paying for yourself. Finance options are available through our partner Omni Capital Retail Finance Ltd, 10 Norwich Street, London, EC4A 1BD.
We offer a variety of treatments for varicose veins. Treatment choices available to you will depend on the type of varicose veins you have, what you’d like to achieve and your general health. Your consultant will discuss which treatment is best for you at your initial appointment.
The following procedure uses ultrasound imaging to guide your consultant when positioning the injection or catheter (a thin tube through which smaller instruments can be inserted):
We also offer:
Every treatment has its own benefits and risks which your consultant will explain to you during your consultation.
Coming into hospital
The clinic is situated on the North Wales Business Park on the outskirts of Abergele and is easily accessible from the A55. Take the train to Abergele and Pensarn railway station. A taxi from the train station is approximately five minutes.
You’ll have free on-site parking if you're arriving by car.
Meeting your consultant
Your appointment will take place in one of our consultation rooms. Your consultant will discuss:
You may also need a pre-operative assessment before going ahead with treatment. This is to ensure you're fit and well enough for surgery.
On the day
One of our nurses and your consultant will meet you on arrival and get you prepared for your treatment. You’ll then be taken to an operating theatre or outpatient treatment room.
Where you’ll be treated depends on what treatment you’re having and what kind of anaesthetic you’ll need.
The procedure will take between 30 minutes to an hour but may be longer if you’re having a lot of veins and/or both legs treated.
Anaesthetic
The anaesthetic required varies depending on the procedure you’re having and your overall health. Most procedures are performed using local anaesthetic (so the area being treated will be numb). However, sometimes it may be necessary to have a general anaesthetic, for instance it’s often needed for ligation and stripping which is a surgical procedure for treating varicose veins.
After treatment
You can usually go home around four hours after your procedure. You’ll be taken to relax in our outpatient department or private area (for day case procedures) before going home when you’re ready.
After you leave the clinic, you may need to take some time off work while you recover. However, most people can carry on with their normal routine without any problems. Your consultant will advise you on what’s best, including whether you should wear compression stockings and for how long.
We’ll arrange a follow-up appointment two weeks after your procedure to check that you're recovering as expected and assess how the treatment went.
Here’s a typical recovery timeline, although you should always follow your consultant’s advice and bear in mind that everybody is different:
Leave clinic
Stop wearing compression stockings and back to most normal activities
Aching should stop
Full recovery for open surgery techniques
Leave clinic
Stop wearing compression stockings and back to most normal activities
Aching should stop
Full recovery for open surgery techniques
The treatment described on this page may be adapted to meet your individual needs, so it's important to follow your healthcare professional's advice and raise any questions that you may have with them.
