What led Mark to seek treatment for his varicose veins?
Mark, from Newcastle, has suffered with varicose veins for longer than he can remember and after three procedures of stripping, turned to us at Veincentre to help get rid of them once and for all.
What treatment did Mark undergo?
Mark had endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) on both legs and sclerotherapy with Dr Mark Regi at our Newcastle clinic, and said: “from start to finish I didn’t feel a thing. The team were fantastic and throughout the procedure I felt completely safe and at ease. The most uncomfortable part for me was the anaesthetic injection but after that I didn’t feel anything at all.”
What gave Mark the push to have treatment?
Mark has just taken a career change from the retail industry to the Airlines, so it seemed the perfect time to take the plunge and get his legs treated before he started. Mark recalls how he would never wear shorts and his legs were uncomfortable with a burning and nipping sensation every evening.
How has the treatment helped Mark?
Mark said: “I feel so much more confident now that my varicose veins have gone and I can’t thank Veincentre enough for their fantastic help. I was always self-conscious about them and I love going to the gym which made it difficult. I can now wear shorts without any worry and I’m looking forward to starting my new job without any niggling aches and pains in my legs.”
Dr Mark Regi, Mark’s treating consultant at the Newcastle clinic said: “Mark was a fantastic patient and we’re delighted that he’s so happy with the result. We wish him all the best in his new role.”
