Varicose Vein Treatment Available This Month
As the country enters its second lockdown, The London Vein Centre has confirmed that varicose vein removal treatment will remain available at its London clinics for the foreseeable future.
This comes as welcome news for patients who are looking to get their varicose veins removed.
Unlike the previous lockdown, clinics offering medical procedures are able to continue their business during the November 2020 lockdown period. This includes varicose vein removal and thread vein treatment, which are available at The London Vein Centre’s clinics, based in Harley Street and Putney. Both clinics are CQC-registered and highly equipped with a variety of treatment options to get rid of lumpy and uncomfortable varicose veins, as well as unsightly thread veins.
By using the latest techniques, treatment at our vein clinics offer:
- Day case ‘walk in walk out’ treatment – no overnight stay
- No general anaesthetic – faster recovery and lower risks

Hand washing facilities and hand gel are readily available. Further advice will be given prior to attending.
Can I get varicose veins treated on the NHS?
Even prior to the pandemic, the NHS only treated very few varicose vein cases with varicose vein removal surgery. They were classed as a ‘cosmetic’ issue a couple of years ago; and since then even fewer patients have been able to get varicose veins removed on the NHS.
The last few months have seen further issues, with thousands of NHS procedures delayed due to the pandemic, causing even fewer varicose vein patients to get satisfactory treatment for the problem.
The private sector is an alternative option with readily available treatment for anyone over the age of 18.
