The varicose vein and thread vein treatment process
Here at Premier Veins, we try to keep our treatment process as simple and clear as possible, so you know exactly where you stand. This ensures that our patients are confident in their treatment and pricing and that there are no nasty surprises! Our process includes:
- FREE no-obligation consultation
- An initial full consultation
- Tailored treatment (as detailed in your initial consultation)
FREE, no-obligation mini-consultation
We offer a FREE no-obligation consultation for anyone considering varicose vein and thread vein treatment at one of our private clinics across the West Midlands, including Birmingham and Solihull. The mini-consultation will provide you with an opportunity to:
- Meet the award-winning team of vein specialists who will be carrying out your treatment;
- Discuss our walk-in-walk-out treatment options that come with a 12-month guarantee* and all-inclusive pricing plans; and
- Ask any questions you may have about our services.
* Only applicable to varicose vein treatments.
Initial consultation
After a free, no-obligation mini-consultation, you will then be required to book in for an initial consultation. Here, one of our world-class consultant vascular surgeons will perform a more detailed examination, including:
- A medical history and symptoms overview; and
- A duplex ultrasound scan to fully assess your varicose veins and thread veins.
This allows us to create a bespoke treatment plan that effectively and safely treats your vein condition, suits your lifestyle and meets your expectations. You can view our most up-to-date prices here and the cost of your initial consultation will be refunded from your treatment fee.
Varicose vein treatment
Following your initial consultation, you will be provided with a tailored varicose vein treatment plan outlining the best procedures including Radiofrequency Ablation (a form of Endothermal Ablation) and Ultrasound-Guided Foam Sclerotherapy. These gold-standard treatments come with compressions stockings and a 12-month guarantee, meaning any follow-up treatment (if required) within a year will be provided at no extra cost to you.
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) AND Ultrasound-Guided Foam Sclerotherapy (UGFS)
RFA is a procedure that uses radiofrequency energy (like a laser) while UGFS uses a chemical foam injection.
Both procedures are minimally invasive, keyhole and performed under local anaesthetic, meaning you will be back on your feet within an hour. The price depends on whether the treatment is carried out on one or both legs. You can view our most up-to-date prices here.
Ultrasound-Guided Foam Sclerotherapy (UGFS) – ONLY
The cost of your UGFS depends on whether the treatment is carried out on one or both legs. You can view our most up-to-date prices here.

Thread vein treatment
We treat thread veins using Microsclerotherapy, which can often be performed on the same day as your initial consultation. The number of sessions required to treat your thread veins and achieve the results you want varies hugely from patient to patient. On average, we recommend between 2-4 sessions.
Microsclerotherapy
Microsclerotherapy is the most effective treatment for thread veins. It takes less than an hour per leg, is performed without anaesthetic, and uses a special light and a very fine needle to inject the veins with a clever liquid that helps the body to absorb them naturally.
