About

Mr Stephen Blair is a Consultant Varicose Vein Surgeon with over 35 years of experience in pioneering innovative techniques for treating varicose veins and their complications. He also has an extensive portfolio of over 60 publications and presentations on the subject.
In 1988, Mr Blair introduced the groundbreaking 4-layer bandage, a revolutionary treatment for venous ulcers that remains the gold standard over 30 years later. In 1994, he innovated sequential avulsions as an alternative to stripping, significantly reducing surgical pain, with 35% of patients reporting no need for pain relief, not even requiring a paracetamol post-surgery.
Beginning in 2000, Mr Blair conducted early research into endovenous treatments, such as the V clip, later transitioning to thermal methods like Laser. However, due to the associated pain and complications, he discontinued the use of Laser. In 2010, he adopted ClariVein ablation and developed a protocol, enabling patients to undergo a virtually pain-free procedure lasting 30 minutes. Patients can drive home immediately and resume normal activities. Mr Blair is a leading advocate of this technique in the UK.
In 2018, Mr Blair established the Liverpool Varicose Veins Clinic, dedicated to providing high-quality specialist care at an affordable cost. Motivated by the increasing difficulty of accessing NHS treatment for varicose veins unless complications are severe, the clinic offers professional, specialised care for all varicose vein types in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

“Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions.”
