Spider veins can have a devastating impact on a person’s self-esteem. They appear as interwoven red, blue or purple lines on the face, legs or chest, most commonly. For many people, their presence can cause them to constantly be wondering what kind of impression they are making on others. While spider veins seldom create any physical symptoms, the effect they have on self-confidence is clearly enough of a reason to seek spider vein treatment in order to have them removed. If your life is being impacted by their presence, you should have a discussion with our team of professionals regarding options that are available to you.
Spider veins develop because of a condition called venous insufficiency. This is when the veins fail to move the blood through in the correct manner. The blood can begin to back up and cause the vessels to become enlarged as a result of the extra pressure that is exerted against the walls. As a result, these veins are usually visible through the skin in patterns that resemble the webs that spiders make. Seldom does one vein appear in isolation. Rather, they appear in bunches, which makes their appearance even more noticeable. This is all the more reason to seek spider vein treatment.
Sclerotherapy is a commonly used method for the treatment of spider veins, as well as varicose veins. It is done by injecting a solution into the veins that are to be removed. The mixture causes the inside walls of the vessels to become irritated and stick together. This makes them collapse. They will then begin to disappear as the body starts to absorb the tissue that is remaining of the veins and the blood that was inside them. Over time, they will be gone.
Sclerotherapy is the oldest of the treatment methods that are still used for the removal of spider veins and varicose veins. It is still popular because of its excellent success rate, plus there is very little risk of complications associated with the treatment. It is also fairly easy for medical professionals to administer. If you are planning to have sclerotherapy done, you will not need to plan on any time away from your job or other responsibilities. You can get back to your normal life right away.
Laser treatments are widely used to eliminate spider veins also. With this therapy, controlled laser energy is directed at the problematic veins. When the laser pulses reach the vein, the energy is converted to heat, which then safely destroys the vein. As with sclerotherapy, the vein will begin to disappear from view over time. These treatments are also performed in the comfort of our office and require little or no downtime afterwards.

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.
