Modern-day treatment is usually non-surgical (injections or laser), and greatly improves a varicose vein sufferer’s quality of life.
Most health insurance companies cover varicose vein treatment but not cosmetic (thread vein) treatment.
At Vein & Laser Dr Elisabeth De Felice will see you for each of your appointments to ensure continuity of care.

GEMS AND PEARLS

Joy abounds...if you look around
Peoples faces, sights...and sounds!
Breathe the air, STARE at the clouds
Find a quiet spot to SCREEEAAAMM aloud!
Wrap your arms around a tree
Smell the flowers, for you are free.
Stay up late to watch the moon
In all her grace at midnights noon.
Take some bread, a glass of wine
Some tangy cheese, a taste devine.
We strive for happiness in material things,
Yet stress and anger are all they bring.
We look inside ourselves
And think we'll be happy with gems and pearls.
We came to earth with nothing but love
And when we leave to soar above
We'll take not with us gems and pearls....
But, hopefully, wisdom and love to the netherworld....

Poll: With Auckland back in alert level 3 lockdown, are you becoming more complacent when it comes to following the rules?

Auckland moved back into a week-long level 3 lockdown on Sunday after two fresh community cases of Covid-19 were discovered.
But University of Auckland associate professor Susanna Trnka says if people no longer feel a sense of urgency they will be less compelled to follow the rules.
"During the first lockdown it was understood that extraordinary times require extraordinary measures,” the social anthropologist said.
"But as it becomes lockdown two, three and four, the sense of the urgency has shifted and isn't so palpable."
Senior lecturer Sarah Cowie, who is an expert on psychology and behaviour, said it was "certainly a possibility" that people could become more complacent during recurring lockdowns.
“There's evidence from places overseas that have been flung in and out of lockdown that people do become a little bit more complacent the more you have,” she said.
“If we are doing things in line with level 3 and not seeing the benefits of that, it might feel discouraging."
