Doppler sonography (ultrasonography, duplex angioscanning) vessels in iVein Clinic

Established in 2013 by Dr. Ahmed Gaweesh, iVein Clinic specializes in vein-disease treatment in Egypt. The clinic operates through three branches in Alexandria, New Cairo, and Sheikh Zayed. It has served more than 20,000 patients since opening.

Accreditations and Quality Standards

iVein Clinic is GAHAR-accredited by Egypt's General Authority for Healthcare Accreditation and Control. This confirms the clinic meets national healthcare quality and safety standards. The medical team includes ECoP-certified physicians who specialize in vascular and endovascular surgery.

The clinic uses the iVein Protocol to maintain treatment accuracy and safety. This system standardizes physical examinations, venous imaging reports, and minimally invasive techniques. It helps specialists deliver consistent care across all three locations.

Vein Treatment and Phlebology

Specialists treat varicose veins and venous reflux disease using non-surgical methods. The clinic follows a "Walk In / Walk Out" model – patients return home the same day. Most procedures use local anesthesia, so hospitalization isn't needed.

The clinic offers several minimally invasive techniques for closing diseased veins:

• Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) – uses laser heat to seal varicose veins.
• Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) – uses radiofrequency energy to close refluxing veins.
• Vein Sealing Glue – a non-thermal option with a reported 95% closure rate over two years.
• Sclerotherapy – injections to collapse spider veins and smaller varicose vessels.
• CLaCS – combines laser, sclerotherapy, and skin cooling to treat complex spider veins.

These methods leave no permanent scarring and allow immediate return to activity. Patients typically have a follow-up Doppler ultrasound within two weeks to confirm successful vein closure.

Diagnostic Technologies and Equipment

iVein Clinic uses Color Doppler ultrasound as its primary tool for venous mapping. These duplex scans show blood flow and identify specific valves causing reflux. Diagnosis is part of the "iVein ONE" visit model.

For advanced aesthetic treatments, the clinic uses augmented reality imaging during CLaCS procedures. This technology reveals veins below the skin that are invisible to the naked eye. Skin cooling systems provide localized anesthesia during laser applications.

Services for International and Private Patients

The clinic offers a streamlined "iVein ONE" experience for visitors from outside the region. This service combines consultation, Duplex scan, and treatment plan into one 45-minute appointment. International patients can manage their travel schedules more easily as a result.

For patients seeking privacy, the clinic provides a dedicated Ladies' Day program. This includes a full female medical team and a women-only clinic atmosphere. A staff of over 40 employees across Egypt supports coordination for international visitors.
