Varicose Veins Treatment in Auckland 

Varicose veins are swollen, enlarged veins that most commonly affect the legs. This condition is medically known as venous insufficiency, where the valves in your veins fail to function correctly, causing blood to pool and the veins to enlarge. Whether you’re dealing with visible veins or experiencing less visible symptoms, Delphi Clinic, with rooms in Remuera and Pukekohe, offers advanced, minimally invasive treatments to restore your comfort and confidence.

What are Varicose Veins?

Varicose veins occur when the valves in the veins, primarily in the legs, become weak or damaged. This condition causes blood to pool and the veins to enlarge, leading to the visible, swollen veins commonly seen in the legs. Though they can affect anyone, varicose veins are more common in women and tend to run in families. Risk factors include pregnancy, prolonged standing, and ageing. If left untreated, varicose veins can lead to more serious complications such as skin ulcers or blood clots.

Symptoms of Varicose Veins

Treating varicose veins offers more than cosmetic improvements. Patients often experience:

  • Heavy or Restless Legs: A constant aching feeling, especially after standing or sitting for long periods.
  • Swelling and Puffiness: Common around the ankles and lower legs, particularly in the evening.
  • Itchy or Dry Skin: Skin around the affected area can become inflamed, discoloured, and itchy.
  • Visible Veins: Dark, bulging veins that are easily noticeable under the skin.
  • Painful Cramps: Occasional cramps, particularly at night, which may worsen with prolonged standing.

If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s essential to seek treatment promptly before the condition worsens. At Delphi Clinic, we’re here to provide the most effective and advanced treatments for varicose veins.

Our Varicose Veins Treatment Options in Auckland

Advancements in vein treatment have introduced a more effective and minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgical stripping. Our state-of-the-art procedures offer a walk-in, walk-out service, allowing you to return to your daily activities almost immediately with minimal discomfort.

Radiofrequency Ablation

eRadiofrequency ablation uses heat to close varicose veins, allowing blood to reroute through healthier vessels. It’s a procedure with a fairly quick recovery and minimal downtime, making it a popular treatment option.

Endovenous Laser Ablation

Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) is a highly effective, minimally invasive treatment offered at Delphi Clinic. The treatment area is prepared, and a sterile solution, Chlorhexidine, is applied, followed by a sterile drape. To ensure comfort, a local anaesthetic is administered before a thin laser fibre is inserted into the affected vein under ultrasound guidance. Once the catheter is properly positioned, a second tumescent anaesthetic is used to numb and cool the area, ensuring you feel no discomfort…

Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy

Ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy injects a foam solution into varicose veins, causing them to collapse. This targeted, non-surgical procedure effectively treats visible veins with minimal discomfort and recovery time, offering long-lasting, noticeable results.

Causes of Varicose Veins

Varicose veins develop when the valves inside your veins weaken or fail, allowing blood to flow backwards and pool. This increases pressure within the vein, causing it to stretch, twist, and become more visible beneath the skin. Several factors can contribute to this condition, including:

  • Genetics: A family history of varicose or spider veins increases your likelihood of developing them.
  • Hormonal changes: Pregnancy, menopause, or hormone-based medications can affect vein strength and function.
  • Prolonged Standing or Sitting: Increases venous pressure, especially in the legs.
  • Ageing: Vein walls lose elasticity over time, making them more prone to damage.
  • Excess Weight: Can place extra strain on the veins in your legs.

Understanding these causes helps us recommend both effective treatments and lifestyle adjustments to minimise the risk of recurrence.

Benefits of Varicose Vein Treatment

Treating varicose veins offers more than cosmetic improvements. Patients often experience:

  • Better circulation: Restores healthy blood flow, reducing pressure and strain on your veins.
  • Reduced discomfort: Relieves heaviness, aching, and swelling in the legs.
  • Improved mobility: Eases symptoms that make standing or walking for long periods difficult.
  • Enhanced confidence: Smooths the skin’s appearance by reducing or eliminating visible veins.


By addressing both the symptoms and the root cause, Delphi Clinic treatments aim to improve your comfort, health, and overall quality of life.

Side Effects of Varicose Vein Treatment

All treatments are performed with patient safety in mind, but mild side effects can occur, including:

  • Bruising: Common around the treated area, usually fading within one to two weeks.
  • Redness or swelling: Temporary and generally subsides within a few days.
  • Itching: Mild irritation around the injection or treatment site may occur, but is short-lived.
  • Skin discolouration: Rare and typically fades over time.


Our team will guide you through what to expect and how to minimise these effects.

Aftercare for Varicose Vein Treatment

Following your procedure, you will be provided with personalised aftercare instructions. We typically recommend:

  • Wearing compression stockings as advised to support healing and promote circulation.
  • Avoiding hot baths and showers for 24–48 hours can help reduce the risk of swelling.
  • Maintaining activity with light walking to promote healthy blood flow, while avoiding strenuous activity for a few days.
  • Moisturise the treated area to keep the skin supple and comfortable.

Following these steps will help ensure the best possible outcome from your treatment.
