Many patients ask whether their varicose and spider veins can come back after treatment, and while this is highly unlikely, it does sometimes happen. As the return of your veins after being treated is unlikely this is not a reason to not treat or delay the treatment of your varicose and spider veins.
Factors that may influence whether your varicose or spider veins return after treatment are:
Spider veins are thin, small blood vessels that can appear on the skin. They tend to be red, purple, or blue in color. People with spider veins do not typically experience any other symptoms aside from their appearance on the skin.
-
The initial cause behind your venous disease
-
Your post-procedure protocol diligence
-
The treatment performed
Varicose and spider veins tend to develop due to hereditary reasons however they may also arise due to external factors and lifestyle choices such as physical activity, prolonged periods of inactivity, eating patterns, and obesity. For this reason, it is crucial to maintain a healthy lifestyle after treatment. Making intelligent choices regarding physical activity and ensuring to stay active and eat nutritious foods can benefit your venous health and prevent the return of varicose and spider veins. Considering many jobs require long periods of sitting or standing, it is important to incorporate small bursts of exercise into your day. Easy ways to get active during your day are by taking the stairs instead of the elevator, choosing to walk to work or school, and going for walks or workouts during any breaks. Making health-conscious decisions regarding your nutrition can also aid to make sure your varicose and spider veins stay gone for good! Choosing organic foods and avoiding sugary sweets, fried foods, and alcohol can make a difference in your venous health, check out our blog on “foods to avoid for venous health” here. All in all lifestyle choices can severely affect your treatment results, however, genetic predisposition may also occasionally lead to the return of varicose or spider veins post-treatment.

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.
