The right time to treat varicose veins is unique for each patient. That being said, there are indications on when one should begin to worry about their venous disease, and when the appropriate time to take action is. The bottom line is if your legs are bothering you in any way, you should get them checked out.
1. If you have symptoms
With varicose veins many individuals will experience unpleasant symptoms that can impede one’s daily life. The most common symptoms that occur are:
- Swelling
- Pain in the legs
- Redness
- Itchiness
- Achy and throbbing legs
If you are experiencing any of these troublesome symptoms we suggest that you come in for a consultation. If your venous condition is causing you to be symptomatic and affecting your life in negative ways it is a good idea to look into treatment options to alleviate your pain.
2. Cosmetic Issues
If your varicose veins are affecting your lifestyle choices due to their appearance we suggest that you take matters into your own hands and seek treatment. Many patients will refrain from wearing shorts or dresses due to the appearance of their legs. There is no reason for your varicose veins to take over your life, simply book a consultation and you can regain the confidence that was stolen from you. With the many varicose vein treatment options available it is easy to treat your legs and love their appearance once again!
3. Further Complications
If your varicose veins have led to more serious complications such as Chronic Venous
Insufficiency, Deep Vein Thrombosis, Ulcers, or Superficial Vein Thrombosis it is critical that you seek treatment for your varicose veins immediately. These venous conditions are extremely serious and require treatment as soon as they are detected. Read more about further complications of varicose veins on one of our other blogs linked here.
Ultimately, there is no set time to seek treatment for your varicose veins; however, it is important to get them checked out before they develop into more serious conditions. If your physical or mental health, or your lifestyle is affected by your varicose veins in any way we urge you to book a consultation to treat your varicose veins once and for all.

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.
