Venous Out-Patient Treatments

All venous pro­ce­dures; including laser, glue and ablation have an out of pocket cost. We will issue a quote with payment details for you to approve before you are booked for your treatment. 

Compression garments will also need to be purchased for your treatment. 

Some costs of the venous treatment can be claimed from Medicare. There are no rebates from private health funds as this is an out-patient procedure.
