Vein consultation with a vascular surgeon in Dubai

A consultation with a vascular specialist is recommended if you experience any of the following symptoms related to venous insufficiency:

• Visible vein changes: Dark blue or purple, twisted, bulging veins just under the surface of the skin. Small, web-like red or blue veins (spider veins)
• Leg discomfort: A heavy, achy, or tired feeling in the legs, especially after long periods of standing or sitting. Throbbing, burning sensations, or muscle cramps in the lower legs, often worsening as the day progresses
• Swelling and skin changes: Swollen ankles or feet, itchy or burning skin around the affected veins, or a darkening of the skin near the ankles (venous stasis dermatitis)
• Restless legs: A persistent, uncomfortable urge to move your legs, particularly in the evenings or at night, which disrupts sleep. Some patients also report bleeding from a varicose vein or a painful, hard cord in the vein indicating superficial inflammation (thrombophlebitis)

Choosing ELEMENTAL Day Surgical Center for your phlebology consultation provides you with immediate access to advanced diagnostics and expert care, all within a single, comfortable outpatient setting. Here is what you can expect during your visit with Dr. Peter Lassu:

• Comprehensive medical history: Dr. Lassu will take a detailed history to understand your symptoms, risk factors, and overall health
• Physical examination: A thorough visual and physical exam of your legs, both while standing and lying down, to assess the severity and location of the affected veins
• Duplex ultrasound: This is the standard non‑invasive diagnostic test for venous disease. It uses sound waves to create images of your vein structure and precisely measure blood flow, allowing Dr. Lassu to pinpoint which veins are faulty and develop an exact treatment roadmap. There is no radiation and no needles involved
• Personalized treatment plan: After a full evaluation, Dr. Lassu will explain the diagnosis and discuss an established, least invasive treatment options tailored specifically to your condition and goals

Based on the results of your consultation and ultrasound, Dr. Peter Lassu may recommend one of the following state‑of‑the‑art, minimally invasive procedures, which are performed on an outpatient basis, meaning you return home the same day. These modern techniques close or remove problem veins with little pain and very rapid recovery.

• Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT): A thin laser fiber is inserted into the enlarged vein through a tiny puncture under local anesthesia. Laser energy heats the vein wall, causing it to collapse and seal shut. The closed vein is then naturally absorbed by the body
• Glue Ablation: Similar to EVLT, but uses medical glue to close the diseased vein.  There is no heat, therefore doesnt require tumescent anesthesia. 
• Sclerotherapy (Liquid or Foam): A medical solution is injected directly into small or medium varicose veins and spider veins, irritating the lining and causing the vein to collapse and disappear
• Ambulatory Phlebectomy: For very large, bulging surface veins that are not suitable for laser or sclerotherapy. The vein is removed through a series of tiny, stitch‑less incisions, leaving almost no scars

Sclerotherapy from AED 2,500 per session. The final price is confirmed in writing after the duplex ultrasound and depends on the extent of the veins treated.

A vein consultation at ELEMENTAL costs AED 750. The appointment is held by Dr. Peter Lassu, Consultant General Surgeon (vascular and laparoscopic surgery) — consultant is the senior grade in the DHA register, and the fee follows the grade of the doctor.

What the consultation fee covers: your history, examination of the legs, and a discussion of what your symptoms suggest and what the options are.

Duplex ultrasound with Doppler is charged separately: AED 1,200 for one leg, AED 1,600 for both. It is not an upsell — it is the examination that decides the treatment. Varicose veins that look identical from the outside can come from different failing valves, and the vein that needs treating is often not the one you can see. Choosing a method without the scan means guessing at the cause.

After the assessment you receive a written plan setting out which treatment suits your anatomy and why, with the procedure quoted separately and in writing before it is booked. Nothing is added on the day.

ELEMENTAL works on a self-pay basis: payment is settled at the clinic rather than billed to an insurer. If your policy includes out-patient reimbursement, we provide an itemised invoice and a medical report so you can claim from your insurer — whether the cost is reimbursed, and how much, is decided by your insurance company under the terms of your policy.

Consultations are held at ELEMENTAL Day Surgical Center in Jumeirah 1, Dubai, a DHA-licensed day-surgery facility.
