Professional experience

He has combined clinical practice in both the public and private healthcare sectors in Spain since 1995, at various centres in Valencia, Barcelona and Castellón. In 2013 he was recruited to set up the Vascular Surgery Departments of two hospital complexes in Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates), in both the private and government sectors, where he served as Head of the Vascular Surgery Department and Head of the Chronic Wound Care Unit until the end of 2017.

Back in Valencia since late 2017, he combines super-specialisation in minimally invasive techniques for the treatment of varicose veins (laser, sclerotherapy, radiofrequency…) with an aesthetic-medicine perspective, bringing the highest standards of care to his patients.

Varicose veins are dilatations of the veins in the superficial venous system that become visible as they protrude through the skin. Spider veins are dilatations of the capillaries within the skin (much smaller and more superficial than varicose veins). The exact cause of their appearance is unknown, although genetic and hormonal factors seem to be involved, leading to irreversible failure of the valves in these veins.

Our specialist, Dr Jorge Molina, is an expert in eliminating spider veins and varicose veins in Valencia using the latest minimally invasive treatments.

Beforehand, Dr Jorge Molina will assess your case on an individual basis, carrying out a detailed study of your circulation using a Duplex Ultrasound examination of your venous systems during your first consultation. Once an accurate diagnosis and venous map of your legs have been obtained, he will select the most suitable varicose vein treatment in Valencia for you from all currently available, scientifically proven options.

Treatments to Remove Varicose Veins in Valencia

Light legs, free from varicose veins.

Fast, effective treatments designed to help you return to your routine as quickly as possible. Before deciding, we always perform a Duplex Ultrasound scan to tailor your treatment plan.

Available treatments (expand to learn more):

We seal off the varicose vein using a medical adhesive (VenaSeal®) or a mechanochemical system (ClariVein®), with no heat and no tumescent anaesthesia — just a single puncture under local anaesthetic. It’s an outpatient procedure: you walk immediately afterwards and don’t need compression stockings.

We seal off the varicose vein using a catheter that applies controlled heat from the inside. It’s performed under local anaesthesia and sedation. You start walking one hour after treatment, and it doesn’t require a hospital stay either.

Today it’s reserved for specific cases where endovenous techniques aren’t suitable or don’t offer any additional benefit. It requires general or spinal anaesthesia, sometimes an overnight stay, and returning to normal activity usually takes 3-5 weeks — longer than with minimally invasive techniques.

It’s a technique for removing varicose branches using local anaesthesia and small punctures of less than 2mm. It can be useful as a stand-alone technique for some varicose veins, or as a complement to a vein treated by stripping or Radiofrequency.

It works for reticular veins (the thicker ones, up to 2mm); finer telangiectasias are treated with laser. Polidocanol microfoam is injected and compression is applied afterwards. The result isn’t immediate: it’s assessed at 4-6 weeks, with a follow-up review at 6-8 weeks, and the number of sessions needed varies from case to case.

It combines ultrasound imaging (to see the anatomy of the veins) with Doppler (to see how blood is flowing and detect reflux), creating an individual venous map. Without that map, it isn’t possible to know precisely which technique is most suitable — two people with similar-looking varicose veins can have completely different underlying causes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know which varicose vein treatment is right for my case?

The smartest approach is to be guided by a specialist like Dr. Jorge Molina, with more than 25 years of experience, kept up to date with the latest scientific advances, following a personalised diagnosis using Venous Duplex Ultrasound.

Is the aesthetic result good after varicose vein treatment?

Dr. Jorge Molina, besides being a specialist in Angiology and Vascular Surgery, also holds a Master’s Degree in Aesthetic Medicine, and applies that perspective to all of his treatments. Each varicose vein treatment technique has its own particularities, and each patient’s response is different, so a specific cosmetic result can never be guaranteed. But we always put in our full effort and best expertise with the aim of achieving the best possible result for you.

Our priority will always be: your health first, aesthetics second. Our commitment is this: we will never risk a potential complication to your health purely to chase a cosmetic result. For us, the patient always comes first.
