Venous insufficiency is much more common than you might think, and it’s a condition that can occur from wear and tear on the body. The tissues within your body are altered by the natural aging process, and the circulatory system within your body is subjected to significantly more stress than any other bodily system. When veins stop working correctly, you can end up with varicose veins.
You might find that walking has started to become painful, and you may have trouble carrying out daily activities. A lack of movement can cause weight gain, and once you’ve become overweight, you’re at an even greater risk for developing varicose veins.
If you’re dealing with venous insufficiency, then you can benefit from a mini-phlebectomy. The procedure is minimally-invasive and only requires micro-incisions.
How a Mini-Phlebectomy Works
It’s best to think of a mini-phlebectomy as an alternative treatment for varicose veins. Depending on the status of your condition, it should be able to effectively treat your varicose veins.
Many patients believe that the only option to get rid of varicose veins is vein stripping, and fortunately, this isn’t true. Several alternative treatment options can help to close problematic veins. During a mini-phlebectomy, a topical anesthetic is applied to the treatment area.
Next, we’ll make tiny incisions in your skin, and the problem area will be treated. With two tiny micro-incisions, we’re able to insert small tools and use ultrasound for guidance.
Once we’ve found the best point to remove the varicose veins, the tools are used to gently and carefully bring the veins to the surface. Since the procedure is minimally-invasive, it doesn’t require stitches or scarring.
When the procedure is finished, compression stockings should be worn. Also, to increase blood circulation, we usually recommend light walking.
Is it Right for Me?
If you’re considering this procedure, you should understand the benefits. Many patients choose to get a mini-phlebectomy because they’re avoiding uncomfortable surgery. Invasive procedures can cause a lot of discomfort, so if you want to avoid this, you can choose a mini-phlebectomy.
By removing problematic varicose veins, a mini-phlebectomy helps to improve circulation and alleviate pain, and the greatest benefit that it has to offer is the reduction in appearance of varicose veins.
The procedure has a high success rate, and it’s ideal for patients who’re in the earliest stages of venous insufficiency. A mini-phlebectomy works well for removing veins that are too large for sclerotherapy treatment. Invasive treatment options for varicose veins can cause hyperpigmentation, which is why many patients choose to get a mini-phlebectomy.
If you’re dealing with varicose veins and want to do something about it, you can benefit from this procedure. Make an appointment at Canada Vein Clinics to learn more about a mini-phlebectomy.

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.
