Vascular Treatments

Foam Sclerotherapy (Injection Therapy for Varicose and Spider Veins)

Overview: Foam sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure that treats small to medium varicose veins and spider veins using a special medicated foam. The foam irritates the vein walls, causing them to collapse and be reabsorbed by the body, improving both aesthetics and circulation.
Before, During & After: After a detailed consultation and duplex ultrasound, foam is injected into the affected veins using a fine needle. The procedure is virtually painless and completed within 30–45 minutes. Compression stockings must be worn for a few days post-treatment, and light walking is encouraged.
Travel Planning: Recommended stay in Greece is 2–3 days. You can return to normal activities within 24 hours.
Cost: From €150/session.

Surgical Varicose Vein Treatment (With Duplex Ultrasound Consultation)
Overview: For advanced cases, surgical treatment may be required to remove or tie off large varicose veins. Procedures such as phlebectomy or vein ligation are guided by duplex ultrasound to ensure precision and safety. Performed in top surgical facilities under local or general anesthesia.
Before, During & After: Your vascular consultation includes a duplex ultrasound to assess vein function and plan the procedure. Surgery is typically outpatient or involves one overnight stay. Recovery takes 5–7 days with compression garments and limited physical exertion.
Travel Planning: A 5–6 day stay in Greece is recommended for surgery and follow-up.
Cost: From €2,200.

Varicose Vein Treatment (Endovenous Laser or Radiofrequency Ablation)
Overview: Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins caused by faulty valves and poor circulation. Our clinics in Greece offer the most advanced, minimally invasive treatments including Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) and Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA), which use heat energy to close off affected veins from the inside. These techniques improve aesthetics, alleviate discomfort, and reduce the risk of complications like ulcers or thrombosis.
Before, During & After: Your journey begins with a duplex ultrasound scan and vascular consultation. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and takes less than an hour. A catheter is inserted into the vein, and energy is applied to seal it. Compression stockings are worn post-treatment, and light walking is encouraged the same day.
Travel Planning: A 3–4 day stay in Greece is recommended. You can resume normal activities almost immediately, though high-impact exercise and flying are best avoided for 3–5 days post-procedure.
Cost: From €1200 per leg.
