Spider veins can be a troublesome cosmetic issue from which to suffer. Along with appearing on your legs, these pronounced veins can also show up on your face. They can mar your appearance and make you feel self-conscious when going out in public. Rather than hide them with makeup or clothing, you can deal with your spider veins with cosmetic treatments like sclerotherapy. Learn what sclerotherapy is and how it is performed at our office in Ottawa.
Sclerotherapy is a minimally-invasive medical procedure that eliminates or eases the appearance of spider veins. Spider veins are blue, purple, or red veins that branch off in spider web-like patterns. They are relatively harmless, but can be accompanied by symptoms that range from dull pain to throbbing and stiffness in the legs.
They also are caused by a host of factors like genetics, lack of exercise, extended periods of standing, obesity, and pregnancy. They rarely cause detrimental health problems, but are associated with the development of blood clots in some people in Ottawa.
To remedy this condition, we typically recommend sclerotherapy as one of the first line measures against spider veins. This procedure is performed on an outpatient basis in the comfort of our office in Ottawa. During the treatment, a special solution is injected into the problematic veins. The solution will cause irritation in the blood vessels. The vessels will then collapse and stick together. The spider veins will gradually fade and disappear.
Sclerotherapy is safe to perform on patients in Ottawa who are in overall good health. It may not be recommended for patients who have certain conditions. As such, you should tell our doctor about any conditions from which you suffer prior to the sclerotherapy appointment. You also should disclose what medications you take, especially those that contain aspirin.
As long as you show no signs of complications or allergic reactions, you should not need any follow-up medical care after your sclerotherapy procedure. You should be able to go back to your normal routine and feel more confident about the way you look.
Sclerotherapy is one of the most popular treatments for spider veins. It is relatively safe and entirely non-surgical. To see if this procedure can work for you, make an appointment at Canada Vein Clinics, with locations in Ottawa, Richmond Hill, Orleans, Moncton, Vaughan, Kawartha Lakes, Kanata, Dartmouth, Halifax, and Toronto.

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.
