Visible veins on the legs are a common concern for many people and can affect confidence as well as comfort. Varicose veins often appear as enlarged, twisted veins beneath the skin, while others may notice fine red or purple veins, uneven skin tone, or changes in the appearance of their legs over time.
Although some vein concerns are purely cosmetic, others may be associated with symptoms such as aching, heaviness, swelling, or tired legs especially after standing or sitting for long periods. In some cases, the underlying vein problem may not be obvious on the surface, which is why expert assessment is important.
This clinic now offers advanced cosmetic and medical vein treatments in collaboration with Revela Clinic, a specialist venous service led by an experienced Consultant Vascular Surgeon.
All treatments are performed by Mr Ahmed Shalan, Consultant Vascular & Endovascular Surgeon, who has extensive experience treating both cosmetic and symptomatic vein concerns. His approach combines medical expertise with an understanding of aesthetic outcomes, aiming to improve both the look and feel of your legs.
Available treatments include:
All procedures are carried out under local anaesthetic, with minimal discomfort and little downtime. Patients are usually able to walk immediately after treatment and return to daily activities quickly.
Every patient begins with a detailed consultation and ultrasound assessment to identify the veins contributing to the visible changes. Treating any underlying feeder veins is essential to achieving smooth, long-lasting cosmetic results and reducing the risk of recurrence.
Treatment plans are carefully tailored to individual goals - whether you are seeking cosmetic improvement, relief from leg discomfort, or both.
This service is delivered in partnership with Revela Clinic, a dedicated vein clinic focused on modern, minimally invasive treatments and patient-centred care. Through this collaboration, patients benefit from specialist expertise while receiving treatment in a familiar, high-quality clinic environment.

Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that commonly appear on the legs. They develop when vein valves weaken, causing blood to pool instead of flowing efficiently back to the heart. Some people experience purely cosmetic concerns, while others may have symptoms such as aching, heaviness, swelling or tired legs.
In many cases, varicose veins are not dangerous but can cause discomfort and affect confidence. However, untreated vein problems may occasionally lead to skin changes, inflammation or more serious complications. A specialist ultrasound assessment helps determine whether treatment is recommended.
Kat & Co offers advanced, minimally invasive vein treatments performed by Consultant Vascular & Endovascular Surgeon, Mr Ahmed Shalan. Treatments include:
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
Foam Sclerotherapy
Phlebectomy
Microsclerotherapy (thread vein treatment)
Each treatment plan is tailored following a detailed consultation and ultrasound scan.
Radiofrequency Ablation is a gold-standard treatment that uses gentle heat energy to seal faulty veins. This redirects blood flow to healthier veins, improving circulation and reducing the visible appearance of varicose veins. It is performed under local anaesthetic and requires no hospital stay.
Treatments are carried out under local anaesthetic. Most patients describe minimal discomfort during and after the procedure. You will be able to walk immediately afterwards.
Yes. A detailed duplex ultrasound scan is performed during your initial consultation. This identifies the underlying cause of the vein problem and ensures the most effective treatment plan.
