“I have suffered with varicose veins since the birth of my daughter 8 years ago and they got progressively worse over the years, particularly following the birth of my son 4 years ago. My legs constantly ached and I hated the way they looked – feeling very self-conscious showing them. In fact, I kept them so well hidden that many family and friends didn’t realise they were so bad until I showed them my “Before” photos.

I chose Veincentre partly for price reasons but I was also impressed with the information provided and the testimonials on the website. Taking the plunge I called and made an appointment and from the initial contact, right to the follow-up appointment, I couldn’t have asked for better care from the team at Bristol.

Despite my husband constantly nagging me to get them treated, I felt that it would be purely for cosmetic reasons and couldn’t justify it. I was finally persuaded to do some research – helped by the fact we had such a warm summer and not feeling able to wear shorts was a nightmare.

Miss Winterborn was amazing and never once made me feel that I was being indulgent in getting my legs treated. My only regret is waiting so long to have my legs treated and to say I am happy with the results is an understatement – I will definitely be wearing shorts next Summer! The actual procedure was more painful than I thought it would be but I know this is due to how much work I had done on the day. It also took me nearly 2 weeks to be pain-free following the treatment, which was difficult as I run my own business but when the stockings first came it was worth all the pain and discomfort.

I want to personally thank Miss Winterborn for her friendly and professional care as I was very nervous about getting my legs treated. My friends and family are absolutely amazed at the results and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Veincentre to anyone.”
