Patient Story: Colette
Since her vein treatment, Colette is enjoying life with renewed confidence and is free from pain.
Why did Colette seek treatment for her varicose veins?
Primary school teacher and mum of three, Colette had been living with painful varicose veins for over 20 years. Alongside her career, she also writes a popular family lifestyle blog, “We’re Going On An Adventure.” For years, she experienced heavy, achy legs, symptoms she’d grown used to and often attributed to ageing or being on her feet all day. But deep down, she knew the veins were the problem.
With a family history of varicose veins, it was seeing the fantastic results of her father’s treatment that gave Colette the push she needed to seek help. “They weren’t going to get better, so I might as well enjoy having more comfortable, better-looking legs now rather than waiting another ten years,” she said.
How was Colette’s VeinCentre Consultation?
Colette booked a consultation at our Manchester clinic, where she met with one of our experienced consultants. During her visit, she had an ultrasound-guided scan to assess the extent of her varicose veins and determine the best course of action. Based on the results, her consultant created a tailored treatment plan and recommended Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) , a minimally invasive, walk-in, walk-out procedure designed to target the root cause of varicose veins. Feeling confident in the care and advice she received, Colette decided to return to have the treatment and finally address the veins that had affected her for so long.
How has life been since Vein Treatment?
Colette is thrilled with her transformation. Since having her varicose veins treated, she’s rediscovered a sense of freedom and ease in her everyday life. She’s back to enjoying family days out without the nagging discomfort that once held her back. Colette no longer finds herself reaching only for long dresses or carefully avoiding anything that might reveal her legs.
