Testimonials

A selection of comments received by The Leg Clinic:

• “Since being referred to Jane I have never looked back. An hour or less once a week for treatment - which is not painful at all - over a course of week(s) recommended by Jane has worked wonders for me.”
• “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 now can wear a skirt or even a dress again (which is not down to my ankles) with pride thanks to Jane. I never thought it possible.”

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.
