AMBULATORY PHLEBECTOMY IN MANCHESTER

WHAT IS PHLEBECTOMY PROCEDURE?

Phlebectomy, also known as ambulatory or micro-phlebectomy, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove varicose veins. It involves making small incisions along the leg to extract damaged veins that are close to the surface of the skin. This procedure is typically performed under local anaesthesia, allowing patients to walk immediately after surgery, hence the term “ambulatory.” Phlebectomy is often used for treating larger veins that are not suitable for sclerotherapy or laser treatments.

Is Phlebectomy effective for varicose veins?

Phlebectomy has a very high success rate, with minimal recurrence of varicose veins. It also results in quick recovery, minimal scarring and a significant reduction in both the appearance and symptoms of varicose veins.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Phlebectomy is generally a safe and effective procedure, but it may have some side effects. Commonly, patients experience mild bruising and swelling around the incision sites, which typically subsides within a few weeks. There may also be some temporary pain or discomfort, easily managed with over-the-counter pain relief. Numbness or tingling can occur if small nerves near the veins are affected, though this is usually temporary. Small scars may form at the incision sites, but they tend to fade over time. In rare cases, more serious side effects like infections or superficial blood clots (thrombophlebitis) can occur, but these are uncommon with proper aftercare.
Patients are usually advised to wear compression stockings for one to two weeks to reduce swelling and promote blood circulation. It’s recommended to keep the leg elevated when resting and avoid prolonged standing or sitting for the first few days. Light walking is encouraged to help with circulation and prevent blood clots, but strenuous activities, such as heavy lifting or intense exercise, should be avoided for about one to two weeks.

I honestly couldn’t recommend Amber enough! After just ONE session, I noticed such a dramatic difference in my hair growth, and I genuinely couldn’t believe the results. Having thick, dark hair, I’ve tried different laser treatments before, but this is by far the best laser I’ve experienced. The difference has been incredible, even after just one session.

Beyond the results, Amber is such a warm and welcoming person who makes you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in. She’s genuinely helped restore my confidence, and I can’t thank her enough. So happy I found her! ❤️

Always personal, expert, empathic and highly professional.  I had multiple facial cryotherapy and now look very contagious to the public. However, the treatment of this kind is most important, having had one  BCC and concerned not to have another one that’s regular visits to this clinic of high importance. Thank you.
