I enjoy competitive sports; running, cycling and swimming. Sadly, over several years I started to develop a feeling of 'tightness' in my left leg accompanied with a heavy feeling in the leg whilst running. I was physically ok whilst swimming but I did feel slightly embarrassed by a bulbous vein! Of greater concern was the dry, itchy skin following the line of this vein. I did my research and finally arrived at the clinic run by Dr David West. The main laser procedure was fine. Definitely less than a trip to the dentist and actually, I suspect the only pain was that felt by the Dr at my choice of music! I didn't like the thought of wearing a stocking, but it was fine! I was on my bike the next day and jogging soon after. Very quickly, my symptoms, and the vein disappeared! I did have a little bruising ...but so minor! The second part of the procedure was (for me) even more simple. A couple of painless injections, job done. But my friends do take the .. Joke about my stocking! In summary, for the patient this is a very simple procedure. And it works! (Best not tell your mates about the stocking bit)
