Up to 23% or more of Australians have varicose veins which may include small spider telangiectasias to large cosmetically challenging varicosities. In this episode we talk with phlebologist Louis Loizou who runs a very successful vein solution clinic in the community where he manages patients with all presentations of varicose veins, large, small, spider veins – he is able to find a solution for all. Louis is a past vice president and honorary secretary of the Australian College of Phlebology.

Louis discusses how he manages patients at his busy outpatient clinic that has been providing services to patients in Melbourne for over 20 years using:
· Sclerotherapy
· Endovenous laser therapy
· Phlebectomy
· Application of glue
I enjoyed this conversation with Louis tremendously and hope you do too.
