It is not always necessary to treat varicose and spider veins in the legs. If they do not cause discomfort or bother you aesthetically, you may simply ignore them. However, if your varicose veins cause pain or your spider veins are embarrassing you, we recommend that you have them treated via a professional leg vein treatment before they cause problems that are more serious. According to the National Institute of Health, about 60 percent of the population suffers from some kind of vein disorder, of which 25 percent are men.
When you have a consultation with our vein specialist at Canada Vein Clinics, you may learn about the different treatments we have for leg veins. Before starting other treatments, we may recommend some self-care treatments to do for a set amount of time. Self-care treatments may include wearing compression stockings, getting enough exercise and not standing or sitting for long periods. When these measures don’t work, we may recommend a leg vein treatment at our office.
Sclerotherapy is a non-surgical treatment that involves injecting a special solution directly into the affected vein. This irritates the vein wall and the tiny valves that help push the blood to the heart, causing the vein to collapse. Sclerotherapy has been used to treat small and medium-sized veins for decades.
Another treatment that safely destroys the vein is laser therapy. In this treatment, laser energy is used to heat the problematic vein. The heat destroys the vein and it collapses. From there, the body takes over and naturally eliminates the vein over time.
At Canada Vein Clinics, we know that leg vein treatment is not one-size-fits-all. The right treatment for you may be different than the right treatment for someone else in a similar situation. As such, other treatment options at our office include ClariVein®, VenaSeal™ and mini-phlebectomy. After your treatment, you may be asked to wear compression stockings for a set amount of time to promote healing.
Not all varicose and spider veins need treatment, but if you have any uncomfortable symptoms or if you are sick and tired of their appearance, learning about your leg vein treatment options can benefit you. Canada Vein Clinics has offices in Toronto, Richmond Hill, Vaughan, Ottawa, Kanata, Orleans, Kawartha Lakes, Halifax, Dartmouth and Moncton. Contact us today to schedule a consultation to learn more about your treatment options.
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.
