How Much Does Venous Leg Ulcer Treatment Cost?
We understand that cost is an important part of your decision when considering treatment for a venous leg ulcer. Our fixed pricing means you can understand the costs involved before going ahead, without unexpected extras.
Your treatment plan will be tailored to you based on your ABPI test and ultrasound scan results, your symptoms and what matters most to you.
Most leg ulcers are caused by venous insufficiency, which is also the underlying cause of varicose veins. For the majority of our patients, treatment typically involves Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA). Once the underlying venous insufficiency has been treated, the wound will close up. In our experience, these methods lead to quicker healing and longer-lasting results than traditional approaches, with leg ulcers tending to remain healed following this treatment pathway.
Treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic and usually takes around an hour. It is a walk-in, walk-out procedure with no hospital stay, minimal downtime and a 99% success rate.

Additional Leg Ulcer Treatment Pricing
Some patients may need additional treatment as part of their individual treatment plan. Your Vascular Consultant will advise whether this is appropriate based on your results, how your veins respond to treatment and what matters most to you.
This may include further foam sclerotherapy to close smaller or residual veins affecting circulation. Avulsions, also known as phlebectomies, may also be recommended to remove surface veins that could be slowing the healing process.
If further treatment is advised, your Consultant will explain why it has been recommended, answer your questions and provide a clear breakdown of the additional cost before you decide whether to proceed.
| Treatment | Price |
|---|---|
| Initial Foam Sclerotherapy | £950 |
| Additional Foam Sclerotherapy | £360 |

Leg Ulcer Cost FAQs
Can I get an exact price for leg ulcer treatment before I start?

Will I know about additional treatment costs in advance?
Yes. If your Consultant recommends further treatment, they will explain what is being advised and provide a clear breakdown of the additional cost before you make a decision.
