You might not know that the majority of leg ulcers are actually caused by venous insufficiency; the same underlying cause of varicose veins. Many people manage their leg ulcer symptoms with frequent bandaging and don’t realise there’s a better way that leads to quicker healing and long-lasting results.

At Veincentre, we are able to treat venous leg ulcers very effectively, using the same modern techniques that we use to treat varicose veins. We have the UK’s best vascular consultants and over 20 years’ specialist experience.

At Veincentre, venous leg ulcer treatment is not what you might think!

Your Journey Starts Here!

Main Treatment

2

A minimally invasive procedure for varicose veins. Once the treatment is complete and the veins have closed, the leg ulcer will heal relatively quickly as the underlying cause which led to the ulcer has been fixed. The wound will close up, the redness will fade and any eczema will begin to clear up. It’s a walk-in, walk-out treatment that takes about an hour.

Follow Up

3

A follow-up ultrasound scan to check the underlying cause and how the ulcer is healing. If needed, a quick touch-up can be performed on any visible veins for optimal results.

Consultation

1

A detailed conversation with your dedicated consultant about your leg ulcer, including an ABPI test and an ultrasound scan to confirm if your ulcer condition relates to an issue with your veins. They’ll explain the results and recommend the best treatment options for you.

Leg Ulcers

What causes an ulcer on the leg?

Venous leg ulcers are caused as a result of the skin breaking down, usually due to severe varicose veins. It can take many years to develop an ulcer and they are more common in the elderly due to more inactivity, however they can affect anyone at any age.

What causes leg ulcers in elderly?

Venous leg ulcers can develop in the elderly as a result of more inactivity and finding it more difficult to move around due to increasing age and conditions such as arthritis. This can worsen the blood circulation and cause skin changes, which can then turn into a venous ulcer.

What is the best dressing for leg ulcers?

Depending on the severity of your venous ulcer, you may be required to have it dressed regularly by a district nurse and they will use whichever dressings are the most suitable. If you suffer with leg ulcers and want more information on what dressings to use, please speak to your GP.

Could my leg ulcers be caused by varicose veins?

Most leg ulcers are caused by venous problems. The valve failure which causes ulcers is the same valve failure that causes varicose veins so most venous ulcers are also associated with varicose veins. Some patients however do get venous ulcers due to valve failure without any evidence of varicose veins.

Can I have laser treatment if I have leg ulcers?

Yes indeed, because ulcers are often another symptom of underlying venous valve failure. Laser treatment is best undertaken as first-line treatment for both ulcers and venous leg ulcers that are caused by faulty leg valves. A duplex ultrasound scan is required to determine the underlying cause of any symptoms.
