Testimonials

A selection of comments received by The Leg Clinic:

• “The Leg Clinic - well, what can I say - apart from that I wish I had known about Jane McCallum many moons ago.”
• “I am now that confident person I once was and only have Jane to thank for that. Even my partner cannot get over the difference!”
• “I am a lady of 52 years of age and can honestly say that for the last 12 years or so have been so embarrassed and made to feel ashamed of my thread veins that I had almost given up all hope. I had for many years been repeatedly told that that was it - there was nothing that could be done - until I was referred to Jane that is! ”

Thread Veins

What are thread veins?

Thread veins are thin reddish/purple veins, just under the surface of the skin, which can spoil the appearance of your legs. They are not usually painful but people who have them may feel disinclined to expose their legs by wearing short skirts or swimsuits. The cause of these unattractive veins is not known. There can be a link with underlying poor circulation or with varicose veins. There is often a family history. Thread veins can be successfully treated.

Assessment

Possible causes will be assessed at initial consultation. In most cases, treatment can commence immediately. A series of three to four appointments is usually required. If varicose veins are present, referral to a vascular surgeon can be arranged.
