For both men and women, varicose veins can at the very least negatively impact appearance and can be painful and contribute to serious health problems if they are not treated. At our office in Ottawa, you will find several varicose vein treatment methods that will remove the affected veins completely and allow blood to flow through healthy veins.
Varicose veins and spider veins develop because the vein walls and valves become weak. This usually happens because they are overworked due to the person’s lifestyle that contributes to the development of damaged veins. Heredity is another major factor in the development of varicose veins.
If the condition is mild, wearing compression stockings may be all you need. However, for more severe cases, there are several varicose vein treatment methods that are available at our office in Ottawa.
• Sclerotherapy – This is a minimally-invasive procedure that uses a special solution called a sclerosant that is injected into the affected vein to damage the vein walls so they collapse. Once the vein is destroyed, it will gradually be absorbed by the surrounding tissue and disappear. The injection is very small and typically does not require an anesthetic.
• Laser vein removal – Laser light that reacts as heat with the vein wall is also used to damage the vein. A very thin catheter is inserted into the vein and a laser heats the tip. The catheter is slowly pulled out and the heat damages the vein wall. This may also be done with radiofrequency.
• Mini-phlebectomy – This procedure involves a series of tiny punctures through which the vein is carefully removed.
Other options for varicose vein treatment include ClariVein treatment and VenaSeal. You can learn more about these treatments during your initial consultation with us in Ottawa.
Once your varicose veins have been removed, it is important to make sure other veins don’t develop. This may require lifestyle changes. For example, if you sit for many hours at a stretch, you must get up and walk around every so often to promote blood circulation. If you stand for many hours at a stretch, you should sit with your feet raised multiple times throughout the day so the blood doesn’t pool in your lower legs.
When you have a consultation with our specialist at Canada Vein Clinics, your veins will be examined and the right varicose vein treatment may be recommended for your individual case. We have offices in Richmond Hill, Ottawa, Orleans, Moncton, Vaughan, Kawartha Lakes, Kanata, Dartmouth, Halifax and Toronto. Contact us today to schedule an appointment to learn more!
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.
