Varicose veins can be treated without surgery.

Vein and Laser

Veins in your legs work against gravity to return blood to the heart, so it is helped along by tiny valves that stop the blood going backwards. These one-way valves can weaken, causing blood to pool, which leads to bulbous, protruding veins. The discomfort of varicose veins is often described as … View moreVeins in your legs work against gravity to return blood to the heart, so it is helped along by tiny valves that stop the blood going backwards. These one-way valves can weaken, causing blood to pool, which leads to bulbous, protruding veins. The discomfort of varicose veins is often described as fatigue, heaviness, itching or even cramps.

Historically, treatment of varicose centred on surgical removal of varicose veins under general anaesthetic. However, endovenous catheter ablation has become so successful that surgery is seldom needed. Endovenous means "working inside the vein" and ablation means "to close off". Under local anaesthetic, a laser fibre is threaded into the varicose vein and used to close off the problem veins, prompting the blood to redirect itself. Compression stockings are worn for two weeks post-treatment and regular walking is recommended.

There is no need for time off work. If you have varicose veins that are affecting you call Vein & Laser for a consultation with our doctor, vein physician Elisabeth De Felice.

Our next lecture in the Fascination Science series is on Tuesday 27th November 7pm-8.30pm at Massey University's Auckland campus in Albany in the Sir Neil Waters lecture theatre.

Putting on the Squeeze: High-Pressure Physics and Chemistry

We are put under pressure all the time. If not by us or others, our atmosphere does the job! All the air above us weighs us down. What happens to matter if we increase this pressure further? At pressures in the inner core of the earth where we find about 300 million times the atmospheric pressure, or at even higher pressures found inside stars? Gases like oxygen and hydrogen eventually become metallic - conducting electric current.

Come and see Dr. Elke Pahl conduct experiments to understand what pressure is, how it influences our life and get an insight into current research on materials under ultra-high pressure.

We will be back in 2019 with our monthly Fascination Science lecture series, so keep an eye out for updates on our Fascination Science website www.massey.ac.nz.... The first talk in 2019 will be a Fascination Science Special on Thursday, 24th January 2019 at 7pm by Kirsi Peltonen, Aalto University, Finland on 'Sensual Mathematics'.

Register for the lecture (optional): masseyuniversity.cmail19.com...
