EVLT, short for endovenous laser therapy, for varicose veins utilizes laser energy that is delivered to the walls of the vessels from the inside. If you have varicose veins that you want treated, you may find this method to be a more attractive option than the more invasive vein stripping surgery.
Varicose veins usually form in the legs. If you have them, you are fully aware of the impact they can have on the appearance. You may also have experienced some of the discomforting symptoms they can produce, although not everyone with varicose veins has them.
These unwanted vessels can form as a result of faulty valves inside the veins. They are one-way devices that are there to keep the blood from flowing in the opposite direction from the natural pumping action of the heart. In the case of the veins, this is back to the heart and lungs. Because the leg veins are longer than those in other parts of the body and the blood has a longer distance to travel, much of the time in an upward direction, the blood can easily pool inside the veins when the valves fail to function properly. The pull of gravity can have a negative impact by causing the blood to back up in the veins. The subsequent pooling can create too much pressure and make the veins become enlarged and varicose.
Varicose veins begin to negatively affect the appearance when they can be seen through the skin. Normally, they appear blue. Since the vessels are enlarged, they can cause the skin to bulge out also. This adds even further to the appearance issues. Some people can handle the appearance better than others. Many individuals can be so impacted by their presence that their self-esteem suffers. These individuals should definitely have their veins treated. Others whose self-confidence is not affected will still seek treatment to improve their looks.
If you have varicose veins that are causing symptoms, treatments can definitely make your life more comfortable. These unwelcome veins can cause aching and swelling of the legs. They can also cause numbness and tingling. Other individuals can experience stinging and burning. If you have a job or other daily activities that require you to be on your feet for a while, these symptoms can become worse, especially later in the day.
If your varicose veins have developed in larger vessels, you may be a good candidate for EVLT. This treatment uses carefully controlled heat that is delivered from inside the vessel to safely destroy it. The problem vein will gradually go away as the body absorbs the tissue that was once a varicose vein.
If you have veins that are too large to be treated from outside the skin and you want to stay away from invasive surgical procedures, you should ask us at Canada Vein Clinics about EVLT for your varicose veins. This may be your best way of returning to your normal appearance and eliminating symptoms. We have offices in Toronto, Richmond Hill, Ottawa, Orleans, Vaughan, Kawartha Lakes, Kanata, Dartmouth, Halifax and Moncton. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and get started!
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.
