Benefits of Treatment
What is Therapeutic Venesection?
Therapeutic Venesection in Perth (also known as therapeutic phlebotomy) is the medical removal of blood to treat specific conditions.
While it is technically a form of “blood donation,” this blood is removed for your health rather than for a recipient. It is the primary treatment for Hereditary Hemochromatosis (where the body absorbs too much iron) and Polycythemia (too many red blood cells). This modern form of blood letting medical treatment is the safest, most effective way to “offload” iron and restore safe blood viscosity.
