The Veincentre facility in West London is modest in scale but entirely appropriate to the job that is to be done. I and my wife were warmly welcomed and had little time to wait in a well-appointed waiting room. The actual treatment for my varicose veins took about half an hour. There was very little discomfort and I was able to walk home without difficulty afterwards. Having seen comments from others, I was prepared for some discomfort after about five days but this never happened to me. One thing that I did find important was to carefully read the instructions on aftercare given when I left Veincentre London. This warned me to be patient and not to expect the immediate disappearance of all signs of varicose veins. I returned for a follow-up visit and minor additional treatment after seven weeks, as scheduled, and found this made a significant improvement to the appearance of the treated leg. This is still continuing so my best advice to anyone following this course of treatment is that you will notice a significant improvement in appearance but do be prepared to allow time for this to become fully apparent. As someone who had traditional surgical treatment on the same leg some 20 years ago, I can confidently say that Dr. West's treatment and its after-effects are infinitely preferable.
