As a model, most specifically a Leg model body double. I have to keep my legs in tip-top shape. It's vitally important for me to have a great vascular function. My legs are very long so it is imperative that I have functioning venous valves in the groin and behind the knees. I was being to notice that by the end of the day my ankles and calves would swell up. I also noticed that my ankles were developing broken red veins. My agent recommended The vascular consultant surgeon, professor Philip Coleridge Smith who set up The British Vein Institute. I made an appointment and dutifully attended the consultation to have vascular duplex ultrasonic imaging. This aided in the investigation of any venous disease or leaking valves. Suffice to say I did have leaking valves, both behind the knees and the groin. He recommended that I have his proprietary technique of pioneering ultrasonic guided foam sclerotherapy. One leg at a time. Given that we are in the middle of COVID19 restrictions. I had the time and was free of any work commitments so i had the treatment.
