Telangiectasias is the official name for those pesky veins on your legs or face called spider veins. They are usually thin, bluish-purplish in color and resemble either spider webs or tree branches. Sclerotherapy is a time-tested spider vein treatment in Ottawa to remove them completely.
When you consult with our vein specialist in Ottawa, your spider veins will be examined and a treatment recommended. If sclerotherapy is your best option, you can move forward with planning your procedure.
Sclerotherapy involves injecting the spider veins with a special solution called a sclerosant. As a result, the spider veins cease to carry blood. Your body will absorb the damaged veins until they are not visible.
Treatment may take anywhere from minutes to an hour depending on how many veins are being treated. Some of our clients in Ottawa need multiple treatments to get rid of the spider veins completely. Results vary from patient to patient.
Sclerotherapy is a minimally-invasive treatment that has been used successfully for decades. There are a few minor side effects possible, but these should subside in just days. There is virtually no recovery time necessary for sclerotherapy for spider vein treatment. You may be asked to wear compression stockings for a set amount of time depending on the number of veins you had treated.
Spider veins respond well to sclerotherapy, and you may see results within just a week or two. If you have small varicose veins treated, the results may be seen in several weeks or months depending on the size of the veins treated.
When you meet with our experienced specialist at Canada Vein Clinics in Ottawa, you can ask about realistic expectations for your spider vein treatment. There is a good chance you may have clear legs again after sclerotherapy at our office.
Canada Vein Clinics has various locations in Ottawa, Richmond Hill, Orleans, Moncton, Vaughan, Kawartha Lakes, Kanata, Halifax, Dartmouth, and Toronto. Contact us today to schedule a consultation for spider vein treatment!
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.
