Endovenous laser treatment is one of the most popular treatments to remove varicose veins, and there is good reason for this. It is minimally-invasive, requires very little, if any, recovery time and has little to no post-procedure discomfort. With this treatment, you can say goodbye to bulging, twisting veins, swollen legs, itching and pain.
“Endovenous” means inside the vein and “ablation” means heat. During this treatment, a thin laser fiber is used to heat the vein, causing the vein walls to collapse. When this happens, the blood naturally flows through healthy veins. The damaged vein is gradually absorbed by the body and disappears.
There are several advantages of endovenous laser treatment over other treatments for varicose veins. Some advantages are:
- Only local anesthesia is required. You do not need general anesthesia, as you do with surgery.
- The treatment is relatively quick.
- There are fewer complications possible because the treatment is minimally-invasive.
- The recovery time is practically nonexistent. Most people can resume normal daily activities or go back to work within 24 hours after the procedure.
After the procedure, a dressing will be applied to the entry point. Our specialist may ask you to wear compression stockings for about a week. These put pressure on the surface veins and force the blood to flow through deeper veins. As soon as the procedure is completed and you have put on the stockings, you may notice that you have relief from the symptoms of pain, pressure and swelling.
Several genetic, environmental and occupational factors may contribute to developing varicose veins. Some causes cannot be avoided, such as the normal aging process and heredity. However, you can modify your lifestyle to avoid developing varicose veins. Jobs that require long periods of sitting or standing can put extra pressure on the heart and veins to keep the blood flowing from the feet back to the heart. Hormonal issues such as pregnancy, menopause and birth control pills may also weaken veins so that they twist and bulge. The lack of physical exercise may also contribute to developing varicose veins. Exercise keeps the muscles in the legs stronger so that they work well to keep the blood flowing.
Varicose veins can develop before they show beneath the skin.

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.
