I would like to share my experience with Veincentre Cardiff. I have had varicose veins for 20 years which have worsened through the years, which gave me huge bulging veins, causing aches daily. I would be very anxious wearing shorts/skirts due to the veins. After researching varicose vein treatments I came across Veincentre and noticed the good reviews, which helped me make the decision to book a consultation. I was welcomed by the lovely receptionist who made me feel at ease. The waiting area was bright and airy. During the consultation both the consultant and nurse were friendly and gave informative information about the treatments I would need. Their both listened to what symptoms I was experiencing. The consultant oulined what treatments I would need and the intial cost. He explained which veins would need to have the treatments and how long the recovery would be. Two months after, I had my first session of bilateral great saphenous vein laser treatment and foam sclerotherapy. I was very nervous on the day but both the consultant and the nurse made me feel more relaxed. I had a lovely chat with the nurse which distracted me from the treatments given at the time. After the treatments, I wore compression stockings for a week and walked 20 minutes per day, which was suggested for good recovery. I did experience the aches for a few days after the procedure but the pain was managed with paracetamol. A few weeks later I could see the treated veins had significantly reduced in size. A couple of months later I went for second session. The consultant was very pleased with the overall result. No more laser treatment was needed. I had more foam sclerotherapy to the veins in my lower leg which was part of the plan. Overall I had a very good experience with Cardiff Veincentre and would highly recommend. I am so happy with the result and am looking forward to the summer to wear my shorts again.
