At Canada Vein Clinics, we take great pride in providing our clients with the best varicose and spider vein treatments and procedures, offering each patient an improved quality of life. Our treatments have been performed countless times by our expert physicians, and are customized for optimal results and your own personal success.
There are many treatment options available for the removal of varicose and spider veins. We provide Sclerotherapy as an option for those who have smaller veins, or more premature venous insufficiency. This procedure offers an injectable alternative to the Mini-Phlebectomy or EVLT.
What is Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is a method of treatment for varicose and spider veins in the legs. During treatment, a mild sclerosing solution is injected into the veins. The injectable agent irritates the walls of the vein, causing it to shrink in size. The vein eventually disappears and is reabsorbed into the affected leg.
Who is this treatment recommended for?
This method of varicose and spider vein treatment is often recommended for veins that are smaller or less developed in their condition. Reticular veins, which have similar characteristics to spider veins but appear larger and blue, may also be treated with Sclerotherapy.
If you suffer from large varicose veins, an alternative treatment such as EVLT, Mini-Phlebectomy, VenaSeal or ClariVein will be recommended. You and your CVC physician will discuss and weigh your options before deciding on a treatment, and the best course of action.
How many treatments does it take?
The number of veins injected in one session varies depending on the size, amount and location of the veins to be treated. Should you have multiple varicose or spider veins that require treatment, you may need several Sclerotherapy sessions to close all affected veins.
Benefits of Sclerotherapy:
- Removes the smaller beginning varicose veins
- Short treatment
- Virtually painless
- No laser required
- Performed directly in our clinic
- Relieves symptoms associated with varicose and spider veins
- Permanently closes treated veins
What type of tool is used in Sclerotherapy?
We use a transilluminating device called “VeinLight,” to visualize and localize varicosities and their origin, resulting in a highly effective treatment of varicose and spider veins.
Results and After Care
After the procedure, the leg is cleaned and wrapped in a compression dressing. This wrapping is to be worn for the remainder of the day. Compression stockings are required for the next few days following your treatment, as instructed by your physician. Any bruising will typically subside within one week of your procedure.
All regular activities can be resumed immediately following the procedure though aerobics and vigorous exercises are not permitted for up to one week after Sclerotherapy. We do however recommend walking several times daily to help increase circulation to the deeper veins in the leg so that the blood can be properly redirected.
For the most effective and lasting results, we encourage you to modify your diet and lifestyle to promote healthy veins in the future. Being overweight or living a sedentary lifestyle contribute to increased risk for venous insufficiency. Improving your overall health will have a positive effect on your veins and help you to live with the quality of life you deserve.
Sclerotherapy is very effective and safe for most patients. Please note that several sessions may be required to achieve complete elimination of varicose and spider veins. If you feel that you may benefit from the Sclerotherapy procedure and are experiencing painful varicose veins, we invite you to schedule your consultation with a specialist at Canada Vein Clinics.
Consultation
by Alan. Trufal
Category: generalAfter 3 veinous ultrasounds, due to a swollen left leg and painful ankle when walking, I got my doctor to refer me to Canada Vein Clinic. Another ultrasound was done in house. I lucked into a virtual consultation with Dr. Matz himself, shortly after , fully expecting a recommendation for one of the vein treatments . Laser was what I expected. Much to my surprise , after being asked a number of questions relating to my symptoms, Dr. Matz suggested that there was no serious vein problem . He recommended an arterial ultrasound, which was also done in house , shortly afterwards. Before I forget , I would also like to thank the staff , and in particular Sasha , for all her help and concern. It appears that I do have minor vein and artery issues in my left leg. But , nothing that would require any intervention at this point in time. I cannot thank Dr. Matz enough. I believe he is a very honest , caring and most competent doctor . If I ever do need a vein procedure , I will return to have Dr. Matz do it.
VenaSeal
by Billie Johnston
Category: generalGreat experience at Canada Vein Clinic. I had the procedure done approximately 3 years ago to remove my varicose veins. It has taken me this long to leave a review because I wanted to be sure it lasted. It has! I was VERY nervous, but on the day of the procedure felt comfortable and confident that I was "in good hands". The actual procedure was not painful and not even uncomfortable. However, 3 or 4 days after, I did develop pain and discomfort (because I did not follow instructions). It was recommended that I apply Arnica and I did not. When I developed the pain, I did start applying the Arnica and within a day everything was as it should be. Highly recommend Canada Vein Clinic. Very professional, courteous, and informative. And my leg is still smooth and vein free after 3 years!
Venalseal
by Gisele McCann
Category: vein therapyI had contacted Dr.Matz at the Canada Vein Clinic to have removal of some very large veins reviewd. Since I have some medical issues, Dr.Matz suggested that the safest way to achieve this would be with the venaseal procedure. Ultrasounds confirmed that this would be the safest way. I was aware that it may not result in a 100% result. The procedure was basically pain free with a minimal amount of bruising and very fast recovery. Multible Ultrasound checks over 1 years Confirmed that the procedure was successful and improved with time. I submitted pictures for a telephone consultation with Dr.Matz and was assured that minor issues could be addressed at a later date. I was treated with the utmost professionalism by Dr.Matz and the clicic staff. I would recommend to get an assessment by Drt.Matz at Canada Vein Clinics. GMCC
Never felt better
by Lori Brummell
Category: vein therapyOne year ago I got my various veins done. My legs have never felt better. It is expensive but well worth it.
Venaseal Treatment
by Francesco Giordano
Category: vein therapyMy varicose vein was so bad that my calf was almost double the size of the other one. After my Venaseal treatment with Dr. Matz, it has shrunk down to the same as the other one with some minor bruising as the only evidence left of the varicose vein. All the staff at the clinic were friendly and kind. Overall it was a great experience.
