The former Playboy bunny and wife of footballer George Best was in Oxfordshire this month.

The TV celebrity, author, model, influencer, fitness advisor and wellness guru underwent a procedure at the UK’s largest vein clinic, Veincentre, in Cromwell Business Park to eradicate thread veins in her leg. 

Best was treated by the Deputy Medical Director Mark Bratby who used minimally invasive techniques remove them so that she could walk out of the clinic after her one hour appointment.

Best said: “Dr Mark was extremely accommodating and made me feel relaxed and at ease from start to finish, thankfully my thread veins were not painful but I was keen to get rid of them as they were unsightly. 

“Every Wednesday I run a “Wellness Wednesday” Instagram live where I talk to all my followers about topics such as menopause, healthy eating and general wellbeing tips so it’s been fantastic that I’ve also been able to share this journey with them also.”

Dr Mark Bratby said: “Thread veins and varicose veins are very common and yet rarely talked about so we’re delighted that Angie is happy to share her story. 

“This isn’t a condition that should be hidden as thanks to the wonders of medicine is now very treatable. 

“As a business we just treat veins and have performed over 40,000 procedures.

“We pride ourselves on our transparency when it comes to pricing too in the hope that vein treatments are affordable and accessible to as many people as possible.”

Oxford Veincentre relocated to Cromwell Business Park in Chipping Norton to accommodate the increased demand for laser removal of varicose veins and leg ulcers in the region.

Following the withdrawal of NHS funding for varicose vein sufferers across the UK, due to their ‘non-essential’ status, Veincentre is becoming increasingly in demand as they continue to offer affordable, accessible treatment to patients across the region.
