All clients who wish to have a consultation with our surgeon will require a pre-consultation ultrasound with our ultrasonographer at South Coast Vein institute.

What will my out of pocket cost be for treatment?
After consultation with our surgeon you will be provided with a recommendation regarding the best treatment option to address your varicose veins.

Our staff will then provide you with a full quote and obtain financial consent for the recommended treatment.
How long will I need to rest after treatment?
After treatment you will be required to wear compression stocking.

We recommend that after non-surgical treatment of your varicose veins you walk but avoid running and vigorous exercise. You can return to work after treatment.
Can I have my veins treated through the public health system?
South Coast Vein institute is a private clinic offering non-surgical and surgical management of varicose veins.

Unfortunately, this service is not provided in the public hospital system and hence you cannot be placed on a waiting list for treatment.
