Vein Competence Centre
Healthy Legs. Lightness Restored.
Advanced diagnostics and modern, minimally invasive treatments for patients with venous disorders.
From visible varicose veins to chronic venous insufficiency, restoring both function and comfort through personalised, evidence-based care.
Conditions Treated
Comprehensive evaluation and treatment for:
- Varicose veins (primary or recurrent)
- Chronic venous insufficiency
- Spider veins and aesthetic vein concerns
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and post-thrombotic syndrome
- Venous leg ulcers
- Leg swelling or heaviness
- Pelvic venous congestion (in female patients)
When to Seek Medical Attention
Venous conditions can progressively worsen if not addressed. Medical consultation is recommended if symptoms include:
- Bulging, twisted, or visible veins in the legs
- Heaviness or aching after prolonged standing
- Swelling around the ankles or calves
- Skin pigmentation or hardening
- Restless legs or night cramps
- Persistent wounds or ulcers on the lower legs
Diagnostic and Treatment Approach
All treatments are based on current clinical guidelines and individual patient needs.
Diagnostic Procedures
- Duplex ultrasound vein mapping
- Functional vein assessment and clinical classification
Duplex Ultrasound Vein Mapping
This is a non-invasive imaging test that combines B-mode ultrasound (for structural imaging) and Doppler ultrasound (for blood flow evaluation). It provides a detailed map of the superficial and deep venous systems in the legs.
Purpose:
- Identify vein patency, valve function, and presence of thrombi.
- Map veins prior to procedures like sclerotherapy, endovenous ablation, or bypass grafting.
- Evaluate for venous reflux (backward blood flow) and obstruction.
Features:
- Real-time assessment of vein anatomy and hemodynamics.
- Helps in planning interventional or surgical treatment.
Functional Vein Assessment and Clinical Classification
This refers to a combined clinical and functional evaluation of venous disease severity and impact.
Components:
- Functional Assessment: Includes venous reflux testing, venous refill time, and calf muscle pump efficiency, often measured using air plethysmography or photoplethysmography.
- Clinical Classification: Typically uses the CEAP classification system:
Purpose:
- Evaluate venous insufficiency severity.
- Guide treatment decisions and monitor progression.
- Standardize diagnosis for comparison and reporting.
Minimally Invasive Treatment Options
- Endovenous laser therapy (EVLT)
- Radiofrequency ablation (RFA)
- Ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy
- Mini-phlebectomy (micro-incision vein removal)
- Cosmetic treatment for spider veins (microsclerotherapy, transdermal laser)
Post-Treatment Care
- Customised compression therapy plans
- Guidance on physical activity and prevention
- Ongoing monitoring of vein health
Advantages for Patients
- Highly qualified vascular specialists and surgeons
- Multilingual care coordination and consultation
- Modern, minimally invasive techniques with low downtime
- Focus on medical and aesthetic outcomes
- Private, stress-free setting without long waiting times
