“I am very satisfied with medical service in Riga and the very nice and prof. manager Katrina K. as well as their nice drivers. I can warmly recommend to visit the very good clinics in Riga as Baltic Veinn Clinic as well as Dermatology Clinic with their very nice and prof. doctors and treatments.”
“My wife and I traveled from the United States to Latvia to have a thorough medical checkup. We wanted some procedures that are not easy to schedule and are rather expensive in the United States. At Capital Clinic Riga everything we wanted, from ultrasounds, nutritionists and MRIs were just an email away. The English speaking staff were extremely friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. In the U.S., we live in a town with 100,000 people so, it’s not exactly a village. Nevertheless, the equipment at the Capital Clinic Riga was more modern than anything to which we would have access without visiting a major metropolitan area. At roughly 10% the price of American services, the difference can easily pay for the trip to Riga. It’s not all about money though. The doctors and staff were all professional, kind and seemed to care about our treatment, not just our payment. I can honestly say I have not felt that type of focus from an American doctor for decades. Unfortunately, they seem to be concerned with throughput and generating as much top line revenue as possible. Furthermore, unlike American doctors, the answer to every problem is not simply to prescribe antibiotics to treat the symptoms, unless of course, that is what is absolutely necessary. I wanted a holistic approach to treating my problems so I appreciated an approach that did not necessitate antibiotics. I’m planning to make Capital Clinic Riga a regular part of my health care routine and will be back next year for the same round of exams to see how things may have changed.”
“I just wanted to thank medical tourism manager Ljuba Tihomirova for helping myself and my wife when we were in Riga. We are both very happy with our operations made in Dermatology Clinic and Baltic Vein Clinic. My legs feel much lighter than before after surgery done by dr. Udris, using biological glue, I feel like I can now fully enjoy my life and my hobbies, play football, and my wife wished to have surgery since last year, so I am very happy that she got it now and feels great! Many thanks!” Ian from Manchester, United Kingdom
When should I start considering a vein health check?
Heredity and lifestyle are two very important factors for vein health. If someone in the family has vein problems, it is very likely that they will be inherited. You should also start thinking about your health if you notice swelling, heaviness, and visual changes. Varicose veins can affect both women and men. Treatment is available to everyone.
How much does varicose vein treatment cost?
Vein clinics offer a wide range of services – from consultations and compression stockings to cutting-edge procedures that provide excellent results. There are various manipulations that can be performed to improve the vein condition. The most suitable is chosen for each patient. Vein treatment in legs significantly improves the quality of life and well-being. Testing veins is neither a painful nor a long procedure. In total, there are five types of vein surgery procedures – laser, steam, radiofrequency, Bio-Glue, and sclerotherapy. Laser surgery for the veins of one leg costs approximately 500 euros. The procedure is completely painless and leaves no scars. Venous sclerotherapy is a simple outpatient procedure to treat varicose veins, which is cheaper—the price starts from 70 euros—but it can be used to treat simpler problems like cosmetic defects in the form of spider vein. Vein surgery with steam costs about 600 euros per leg, and the price for a radiofrequency treatment is similar. Closing veins with Bio-Glue for one leg costs from 2,000 euros. Doctors will recommend the most appropriate manipulation and explain the risks and benefits in each particular situation.
How to improve vein health?
Vein health must be taken care of. Physiotherapists can recommend exercises that will improve the health of your veins. Active lifestyle with lots of movement and proper nutrition are also important. Modern vein treatment procedures will help in situations where healthy lifestyle alone is not enough.
Which clinics offer vein treatment procedures?
Vein surgery and vein treatments are offered by several medical institutions – Baltic Vein Clinic, Capital Clinic Riga, Dr. Mauriņš Vein Clinic, Good Life Clinic, Liepaja Regional Hospital, and the Medical Society ARS.
Does vein treatment also improve visual appearance?
Absolutely. Vein treatment procedures eliminate cosmetic defects and do not leave any scars. Vein surgery is a way to get beautiful legs if there are problems caused by visible spider veins, varicose veins, or swelling.
What must be taken into consideration after vein surgery?
The patient can go home immediately after vein surgery and resume daily activities the day after. Generally, no special monitoring is required after this type of surgery. There are no flight restrictions after vein surgery, and the patient can fly home the following day. During the flight, it is recommended to stand up once per hour. If the flight takes more than 3 hours, the doctor may prescribe medicine to be taken during the flight. Your doctor may also advise you to wear compression stockings after surgery to improve venous drainage, reduce swelling and direct the flow to deep veins.
