A new health clinic for varicose veins treatment is set to open in Lancaster creating five new jobs.
The Veincentre will open at Lancaster Business Park on Caton Road on Monday offering patients treatment to remove varicose veins and thread veins.
Councillor Martin Bottoms, deputy mayor of Lancaster, will officially open the centre at 1pm.
The new clinic has created five jobs in the local area including a receptionist, staff nurses and specialist vascular consultants.
Veincentre also has clinics in London, Manchester, Liverpool, Bristol, Southampton and Glasgow to name a few.
“Lancaster is such a beautiful historic city and a perfect location to get to from the Lake District and surrounding Lancashire towns," said Dr Sam Byott, Consultant Interventional Radiologist at Veincentre in Lancaster.
"We’re very grateful to the Deputy Mayor of Lancaster for taking time out of his busy schedule to officially open our clinic and looking forward to welcoming new and existing patients through our doors.
"Varicose veins affect 30 per cent of the population and unfortunately won’t get better without treatment. They cause both cosmetic and symptomatic distress to patients and if left untreated can result in venous ulcers and varicose eczema.”
The clinic's main treatments are endovenous laser ablation and foam sclerotherapy which are recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence as the gold standard treatments.
