If you suffer from painful varicose veins, you'd be familiar with the associated cramping, heaviness and aches they bring. But did you know you also run the risk of blood clots and skin ulcers? Unfortunately many people with varicose veins avoid doing anything about them, knowing surgery is invasive and requires anaesthesia and hospitalisation. But another option is Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT). No surgery is needed and veins are removed with less pain and downtime - without anaesthesia or hospitalisation. You can even return to normal activities the same day!
Dr John Tan of MD Specialist Healthcare - The Vein Clinic is a consultant General and Vascular surgeon and has conducted more than 700 successful EVLT procedures to date. Make an appointment for a thorough consultation and you'll soon be feeling lighter on your feet. 290 Orchard Road, #12-01 Paragon.
