You may not think of spider veins as a medical condition that is worth your while addressing.

Learn what remedies are available for spider vein treatment and why you may be able to recover faster from this condition than anticipated.
More About Spider Veins
Spider veins are blood vessels that are visible right under the surface of your skin. They are often reddish, blue, or purplish in appearance. They are most often found on a person’s legs, thighs, ankles, and sometimes even the face and chest.
People in Ottawa get spider veins for a number of different reasons. Some of the most common causes of spider veins are:
• Weight gain or obesity
• Pregnancy
• Puberty or menopause
• Use of birth control pills or hormonal treatments
• Standing for long periods of time
• Wearing constrictive clothing like girdles
• Having a history of blood clots
Spider veins are also more common in people who are middle-aged or elderly. They make people less confident in their appearances and compel some people to avoid wearing certain clothing like shorts or skirts.
Even more, spider veins can create a number of symptoms that are bothersome or downright painful. Some of the symptoms of this condition include:
• Throbbing
• Aching
• Swelling
• Restlessness
• Burning
• Fatigue or heaviness in the legs
These symptoms may dissipate by resting or elevating your legs. However, for longer term relief, you may need to undergo professional spider vein treatment.
Spider Vein Treatment in Ottawa
We can use several different methods in Ottawa to treat spider veins in patients. First, we might recommend that you wear compression stockings for several weeks. The compression stockings encourage blood flow in the veins and prevent symptoms like burning and throbbing.
You also may undergo a spider vein treatment called sclerotherapy, which involves the injection of a special solution into the veins themselves. The solution causes the veins to collapse and eventually disappear.
The procedure that our doctor recommends for spider vein treatment will depend on the severity of your spider veins, as well as what symptoms accompany your condition. During a consultation at Canada Vein Clinics, with offices in Halifax, Ottawa, Richmond Hill, Orleans, Moncton, Vaughan, Kawartha Lakes, Kanata, Dartmouth, and Toronto, you can learn more information 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.
