You can have your Varicose Veins, Varicose Ulcers, Varicose Eczema and Spider Veins treated with our safe effective non surgical treatments. Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA), Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy (UGS) and Microsclerotherapy are walk in, walk out vein treatments.
Palm Clinic introduced Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy to New Zealand in 1998 as the first non surgical method of treating varicose veins and added laser treatment (EVLA) in 2003. We have now performed over 3000 laser treatments for varicose veins and over ten thousand UGS injection treatments for varicose veins. A few people may need varicose vein surgery.
Spider veins are generally treated with an injection technique called microsclerotherapy or with Exotherme laser. Facial veins are treated with Elos intense pulsed light.
Varicose eczema and varicose ulcers are treated by treating the underlying problem which is venous insufficiency usually presenting as varicose veins with dry scaly itchy skin or ulcers.
Palm Clinic is an affiliated provider to Southern Cross for varicose veins and a First Choice Provider for NIB. Medical necessity criteria apply.
For Southern Cross and NIB you do not need prior approval. Palm Clinic is able to authorise this online if you bring your member number. Varicose vein treatments are generally covered by other medical insurers such as Sovereign, Unimed and others when meeting 'medical necessity criteria'.
