Welcome to Klinikk A for varicose vein treatment.
We offer modern and gentle treatment of varicose veins that gives you good results and a safe experience.
Our experienced team of vascular surgeons is dedicated to helping you with your varicose veins.
Varicose veins are dilated and visible blood vessels that can occur on the legs and sometimes on other parts of the body. Varicose veins can be both cosmetically unsightly and cause physical discomfort. Examples of physical discomfort include discomfort such as irritation and pain, skin discoloration, swelling and heaviness. At Klinikk A, we understand the importance of finding the right treatment to improve an individual's quality of life, both cosmetically and physically.
Modern RF ablation - safe and efficient
We use a modern and advanced treatment method called RF ablation for varicose veins. This method is considered safe, effective and has been proven to give good, lasting results. RF ablation involves the use of heat energy to close and seal the affected veins. This causes the blood to be redirected to healthy veins, and the dilated veins gradually disappear.
RF ablation is a minimally invasive procedure performed under local anesthesia. A thin catheter is inserted into the vein through a small incision, and RF energy is applied to heat and close the vein wall. The treatment usually takes about an hour and you can expect minimal discomfort and little downtime afterwards. You'll be able to return to your daily activities immediately after the procedure.
In cases where there is also a need for surgical removal of local varicose veins, this will be performed during the same operation. The surgeon will discuss which procedure is appropriate with you during a preoperative consultation.
Superficial vessel markings? Sclerotherapy is the answer!
In addition to treating your varicose veins, we can also help you treat superficial vascular networks, also known as superficial vascular striae, or spider nevi. These are visible blocks near the surface of the skin and can be caused by varicose veins, genetics, hormonal changes or ageing. They can be just as irritating as visible varicose veins. We offer sclerotherapy, a procedure in which a sclerosing agent is injected directly into the spider nevi. This causes the blood vessel to collapse and disappear, leaving behind smoother skin where vessel markings are minimized or disappear.
Sclerotherapy works by irritating and inflaming the blood vessel wall, causing the vessel to collapse and gradually disappear. As the vessel disappears, the blood will be redirected to healthy veins and you will experience a significant reduction in the visibility of superficial vessel markings.
Sclerotherapy is a safe and effective treatment method that usually takes around 30 minutes to perform. After the procedure, you may experience some discomfort and swelling, but this will subside within a few days. You can expect to see improvements in the appearance of your spider nevi within a few weeks, and multiple treatments may be required to achieve optimal results.
We understand that every patient is unique and their varicose vein problems may vary. That's why we offer personalized treatment based on a thorough assessment of your varicose veins. Our experienced team, led by a vascular surgeon, will carefully examine your varicose veins, listen to your concerns and goals, and then develop a tailored treatment plan that's right for you.

Before you can proceed with any varicose vein treatment, we want to offer you a preliminary examination to ensure that you get the most appropriate treatment for your varicose veins. At Klinikk A, we value the dialog between you as a patient and our experienced plastic surgeons. That's why a consultation is an important first step towards achieving the desired result.
A no-obligation consultation gives you the opportunity to express your wishes and needs regarding varicose vein treatment. Our plastic surgeons will listen carefully to your concerns and goals, and answer any questions you may have. We set aside plenty of time for the consultation to ensure you get all the information you need to make an informed decision.
During the consultation, we will discuss different treatment options and the pros and cons of each method. We will carefully assess your individual situation and create a treatment plan tailored to your needs and goals.
When you arrive at the clinic, our staff will welcome you and give you a form to fill out in the waiting area. The actual consultation will then begin in the doctor's office, where we will go through your wishes and assessments. Our goal is to establish a good dialog and find the best treatment for you.
We will discuss any previous illnesses, allergies, medications you are taking and other relevant information to ensure that the treatment is safe and tailored to you. Furthermore, we will conduct a thorough examination of your varicose veins.
After the examination, we will assess which treatment method may be most appropriate for your varicose veins. We will discuss different options, from RF ablation to sclerotherapy and any other treatments that may be relevant to you. We are dedicated to finding the right solution that gives you the best possible results.
We will give you realistic expectations of your treatment and show you photos of previous patients to illustrate possible results. It's important to understand that each individual is unique and results may vary depending on your specific circumstances.
We want you to feel confident and well informed when making the decision to proceed with varicose vein treatment. Our experienced surgeons will explain the location of scars. We'll also take into account any tendencies towards larger scarring and consider the best options for you.
We understand the importance of minimizing the risk of complications. Our treatment methods are based on established scientific methods and we strive to give you the best care and follow the best practices.
At the end of the consultation, you will have the opportunity to ask questions and feel confident that you have received all the necessary information. If you're ready to move forward, we'll have the opportunity to book an appointment for your varicose vein treatment. We will also plan further follow-up to ensure you receive the best care throughout the process.
Our goal is to help you achieve your desired result, and we look forward to being part of your journey to varicose vein freedom.
Once you've made the decision to have varicose vein surgery, it's important to be aware of what happens before, during and after the procedure. Here we give you an overview of what to expect at the different stages of the process.
Before surgery, you will receive the necessary written information. An e-prescription for painkillers and preventive antibiotics will be submitted. We recommend that this is collected a few days before surgery.
On the day of surgery, you will be welcomed by our experienced team at the clinic. You will be prepared for the procedure and information about what will happen during the operation will be reviewed. You will be given a thorough examination, prepared for anesthesia and given medication as needed. If an operation under general anesthesia has been agreed, you must be fasting for the last 6 hours before the operation.
You will greet the surgeon who will make the necessary markings on the skin before the operation. If you have any specific questions or concerns, we will be available to answer them before the surgery starts. Our team will make every effort to ensure you feel calm and confident before the procedure.
After your varicose vein surgery, you will be closely monitored by our medical staff to ensure a good recovery. You can expect to rest and be observed in our post-operative ward before being discharged the same day.
It is normal to experience some soreness and discomfort in the treated areas after surgery. Pain medication may be prescribed to relieve the discomfort. We recommend following our aftercare instructions carefully to promote rapid healing.
The skin is bandaged with a liquid plaster, Micropore tape and an absorbent Micropore bandage over this. After the operation, a compression bandage or elastic stockings will be applied to support and protect the operated areas. It is important to follow the instructions for bandage and stocking use carefully. You must keep the bandage clean and dry and avoid removing it until authorized by your doctor.
You will be given instructions on how to shower and care for the dressing to promote safe and hygienic healing. At your first shower, you can remove the Mepore dressing, but you should treat the Micropore tape until further notice. Our staff will provide you with all the necessary guidance and answer any questions regarding the dressing.
After surgery, you will have a scheduled follow-up appointment to assess your healing and make sure everything is going as expected. This gives us the opportunity to assess the outcome of the surgery and answer any questions or concerns you may have.
During the follow-up visit, we will also advise you on further follow-up at home, including physical activity, work activities and the use of elastic stockings or other supportive aids. Follow-up is an important part of the treatment process to ensure you get optimal results.
As with any surgical procedure, there is a certain risk of complications. These may include, but are not limited to, bleeding, infection, blood clots, scarring or unexpected reactions to medication or anesthesia.
Our experienced medical team takes all necessary precautions to minimize the risk of complications during and after surgery. We will provide you with information about risk factors and how you can help reduce the risk.
It's important to follow our aftercare instructions carefully and contact us immediately if you experience any unusual symptoms or have any concerns.
Our priority is to ensure your safety and well-being throughout the treatment process. We will be there for you, answering your questions and giving you the support and care you need for a successful varicose vein surgery.

November, 2025 Jeg ønsker å gi mine varmeste anbefalinger til Ståle. Resultatet han ga meg ble langt bedre enn jeg hadde turt å håpe på. Han var utrolig lyttende gjennom hele prosessen, og jeg følte meg trygg fra første stund.
