HEALTH & BEAUTY<br />
Varicose veins treated<br />
quickly and effectively<br />
Transform Clinic in Mandeville Street<br />
Riccarton boasts a team of dedicated<br />
professionals, who include the clinic’s doctor,<br />
Ian Little, registered nurses and qualified<br />
beauty therapists, providing a wide range<br />
of appearance medicine and beauty therapy<br />
treatments for their clients.<br />
One of their main specialties is nonsurgical<br />
varicose vein removal. This is a<br />
simple, quick and effective walk-in walk-out<br />
treatment with no time off work required.<br />
Clients seeking advice about their varicose<br />
veins first undergo a free assessment, which<br />
enables the health professional to determine<br />
if they need treatment, and if so, what the<br />
most appropriate type would be.<br />
Two methods are offered – endo-venous<br />
laser treatment, which is used for both<br />
smaller and larger veins, and ultrasound<br />
guided sclerotherapy. Following the<br />
treatment, clients need to wear support<br />
stockings for two weeks. International travel<br />
is not recommended for four weeks after<br />
treatment.<br />
Transform Clinic has an affiliation<br />
with health provider Southern Cross and<br />
relationships with several other health<br />
insurance companies, which means clients<br />
may be covered for varicose vein treatment,<br />
providing it is included in their policy.<br />
Appearance medicine is another key<br />
aspect of Transform Clinic’s therapy options,<br />
with skin rejuvenation and skin-tightening<br />
treatments designed to improve skin quality<br />
as well as enhance self-esteem.<br />
Treatments include the Vampire Face Lift,<br />
which uses Platelet Rich Plasma or PRP, and<br />
Fraxel laser treatment. These treatments can<br />
be combined to achieve the desired results.<br />
Sclerotherapy is also used to remove<br />
superficial veins on the legs and face. In<br />
addition, the clinic offers mole mapping,<br />
mole removal and primary skin cancer<br />
removal.<br />
The Transform Clinic website,<br />
www.transformclinic.co.nz, has a wealth of<br />
information on the various treatments and<br />
regularly has special offers and promotions.<br />
They also suggest you ‘like’ their Facebook<br />
page, to keep up to date with what they<br />
are offering.<br />
The Transform Clinic is discreetly<br />
