Many patients wonder when the best time to treat their varicose veins is… Ideally when the veins are impeding on your quality of life, we suggest that you come in for a consultation to learn about possible treatment options. This question arises, as many patients tend to see a shift in symptoms when transitioning between warmer and cooler climates.
At Canada Vein Clinics, we believe that if your venous condition is affecting your lifestyle, it is crucial to come in for a consultation as soon as possible. In most cases, varicose vein treatment will alleviate any unpleasant symptoms, allowing you to return to your daily life almost immediately. This being said, cooler climates tend to help alleviate some of the symptoms associated with varicose veins and for this reason, many patients tend to choose the Winter months to seek treatment.
Why is it better to treat varicose veins in the winter?
In the Winter, the cold weather helps to promote circulation in the legs due to the size of the veins getting smaller, this helps to alleviate some of the pressure on them. This decreases some of the symptoms associated with venous disease. It is important to realize that the varicose veins do not go away but rather their symptoms become more bearable. To read more about how weather affects varicose veins, check out one of our other blogs here. Additionally, as some vein treatments require the use of compression stockings post-procedure, patients tend to find it more desirable to wear stockings during the Winter months.
Many patients also prefer the Winter months for vein treatment, in order to have their legs ready for the warmer Summer months. Having your varicose vein treatment out of the way in the Winter, ensures that you can participate in any activity, and wear shorts or dresses with confidence when it is warmer outside!
Ultimately, it is a personal choice to decide when to treat your varicose veins. The important thing is to seek the help of a medical professional, and to ensure that you feel comfortable with the treatment plan. Remember, it is never too late to seek treatment to take back your freedom and love your legs once again!

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.
