When I was preparing for my varicose vein treatment, the first thing I asked during my consultation was, “How long will the surgery take, and will I need general anesthesia?” I was surprised (and relieved) to learn that most vascular procedures—like EVLT or sclerotherapy—typically take less than an hour and are performed under local anesthesia. This meant I could go home the same day without the grogginess or recovery time that comes with general anesthesia.
I had my treatment at Charm Vascular Clinic in Korea, and I highly recommend them. The team—Dr. Insoo Park, Dr. Junsung Kwon, Dr. Sujin Park, and Dr. Suwon Oh—were incredibly thorough and made sure I understood every step of the process. They specialize in advanced, minimally invasive vascular procedures and truly prioritize patient comfort. If you’re looking for expert care in a modern, well-equipped setting, Charm Vascular Clinic is worth checking out.
When my uncle needed treatment for varicose veins, we were quite anxious about the procedure—especially how long it would take and what kind of anesthesia would be used. After doing a lot of research, we came across Charm Vascular Clinic through CloudHospital. We felt more confident after reading reviews and learning that most procedures there are performed under local anesthesia, which makes recovery much easier and faster. The actual surgery took less than an hour, and he was able to walk out the same day without major discomfort.
Dr. Lee at Charm Vascular Clinic was incredibly reassuring. He explained everything clearly and answered all our questions, which made a big difference. My cousin also visited the clinic for a consultation recently, and the experience was just as professional. If anyone in your family is considering vein treatment, I’d definitely recommend checking them out—you can learn more about the clinic and Dr. Lee directly on CloudHospital.
