How Much Does Varicose Vein Removal Cost?
Your varicose vein treatment plan is tailored to your ultrasound scan results, symptoms and what matters most to you. Your treatment cost will depend on the treatment recommended following your consultation and ultrasound scan.
For the majority of our patients, treatment typically involves Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA), which is recommended by NICE for varicose veins. EVLA targets the underlying cause of the veins and is often combined with foam sclerotherapy to treat any remaining visible veins on the surface.
Treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic as a walk-in, walk-out procedure and usually takes around an hour. There is no hospital stay, downtime is minimal and EVLA is associated with a 99% success rate.

Additional Varicose Vein Treatment Pricing
Every patient is different, so in some cases your Consultant may recommend another treatment option alongside or instead of your initial treatment.
This may include foam sclerotherapy for smaller varicose veins, avulsions (phlebectomies), or a combination of treatments depending on how your veins respond and what you are hoping to achieve.
All treatments are carried out by experienced Consultants in a walk-in, walk-out setting using the latest techniques for safe, effective results. If further treatment is recommended, your Consultant will explain what is involved and confirm the full cost before you proceed.
| Treatment | Price |
|---|---|
| Initial Foam Sclerotherapy | £950 |
| Additional Foam Sclerotherapy | £360 |
| Avulsions/Phlebectomies & Foam Sclerotherapy | £1,500 |
| Ligation and Foam Sclerotherapy | £1,600 |

Varicose Vein Cost FAQs
Why does the cost of varicose vein treatment vary?
There isn’t one fixed price for varicose vein treatment because different patients may require different treatments. Your Consultant will recommend the most appropriate treatment based on your ultrasound scan, symptoms and individual circumstances.
What do unilateral and bilateral mean on the treatment codes?
Unilateral refers to treatment on one leg, while bilateral refers to treatment on both legs. The relevant code can be used when speaking to your private medical insurer about your cover.
Can I spread the cost of varicose vein treatment?
Yes. VeinCentre offers payment plans for patients who would prefer to spread the cost of treatment. You can view the available payment options online or speak to our team if you have any questions.
Why are there separate initial and additional foam sclerotherapy prices?
The pricing table separates an initial foam sclerotherapy treatment from any additional foam sclerotherapy that may subsequently be recommended. Your Consultant will explain if further treatment is needed and confirm the cost before you proceed.
What information will I need when speaking to my medical insurer?
You can use the treatment codes shown above when discussing your cover with your insurer. Once your treatment has been authorised, you will also need to provide VeinCentre with the authorisation code supplied by your insurer to secure your appointment.
Are there any hidden fees for varicose vein treatment?
No. We use clear, fixed pricing rather than vague ‘from’ prices. If your Consultant recommends any additional treatment, the cost will be explained and confirmed before you decide whether to proceed.
