Dr Newmans Clinic is making
‘veinwaves’ in Northern Ireland
leading UK clinic which specialises in
the removal of thread veins is making
‘veinwaves’ in Northern Ireland, where
an increasing number of women – and men –
are opting for a pioneering new treatment to
help restore their confidence.
Dr Newmans Clinic – the only doctor led
clinic of its kind in the UK – introduced its
revolutionary microwave treatment
Veinwave (Thermocoagulation) at Malone
Medical Chambers in Belfast last year and
since then a steadily increasing number of
patients, travelling from as far away as
A
Waterford, have been seeking out the non
invasive walkin, walkout procedure.
Founded in 1998, the Veinwave technique
harnesses microwave technology to heat fine
blood vessels and destroy them quickly. It can
treat all skin types and is effective in treating
facial thread veins and rosacea. It can also be
used in conjunction with Sclerotherapy to
treat thread veins in legs. The virtually pain
free procedure is also more effective than
laser treatment and results can be instant.
The Veinwave machine used in the treatment
passes a high frequency microwave directly
into the vein with a very fine needle and can
treat up to 50cm of thread veins in a session.
The heat then destroys the wall and content of
the capillaries as the needle is insulated.
Dr Michael Broughton of Dr Newmans Clinic,
who carries out the treatment at Malone
Medical Chambers, said he was delighted to
bring Veinwave to Belfast and to help patients
rebuild their confidence through the removal of
unsightly thread veins.
“We first came to Belfast exactly a year ago
with Veinwave and since then have seen
many patients who have had the treatment
carried out and have been thrilled with the
results of our pioneering technology.”
"At the moment we are seeing equal
numbers of men and women attending our
Belfast clinic and while some results can be
instantaneous, other patients have to have
multiple treatments; it just depends on the
individual.
“As we are a doctorled clinic, we can
reassure our patients they are receiving true
clinical expertise and are in very safe hands,”
adds Dr Broughton, a former GP and
dermatologist who travels to Belfast from
London’s Harley Street.
Dr Newmans Clinic has featured on
primetime Channel 4 show Embarrassing
Bodies and runs nine clinics in major cities
across the UK.
It is estimated that around 15 million people
in the UK suffer from thread or spider veins.
Their exact causes are not known although
hereditary factors, heat, alcohol and hormonal
changes are known to act as triggers.
