As the winter chill envelops us, it might be tempting to ignore those pesky varicose veins that have been bothering you. After all, summer feels like a distant dream. However, taking action now can make a world of difference when the warmer months arrive. Let’s explore why treating varicose veins in the winter is not just a smart choice but an essential one for a smooth and carefree summer.
1. Comfort in Layers
Winter is synonymous with layers of clothing, making it the perfect time to address varicose veins. Compression stockings, a common treatment for varicose veins, can be discreetly worn under winter attire. You can comfortably manage your condition without drawing attention to your legs, ensuring both warmth and relief. This is advantageous as it spares you from the need to consistently wear compression stockings during the warmer months.
2. Time for Recovery
Treating varicose veins often involves procedures like Venaseal, Clarivein, or endovenous laser treatment (EVLT). These procedures may require a brief recovery period, and winter offers an excellent opportunity for downtime. By addressing varicose veins now, you can recover without the discomfort of heat or the need to miss out on summer activities.
3. Preventative Approach
Varicose veins tend to worsen over time if left untreated. By addressing the issue in winter, you are taking a preventative approach, halting the progression of the condition before it becomes more severe. This not only ensures a more comfortable summer but also reduces the risk of complications down the line.
4. Avoiding Swelling and Discomfort
Heat and humidity, synonymous with summer, can exacerbate swelling and discomfort associated with varicose veins. Winter’s cooler temperatures naturally reduce swelling, providing a more conducive environment for the healing process. By treating varicose veins now, you can minimize the risk of worsening symptoms during the summer months.
5. Confidence Boost
Summer is often a time for swimwear, shorts, and skirts. Addressing varicose veins in the winter allows you to stride into summer with confidence, knowing that you’ve taken proactive steps to improve the appearance of your legs. Boosting your self-esteem now will undoubtedly make your summer more enjoyable.
6. Consultation Availability
Winter tends to be a less hectic time for medical professionals. Booking consultations and scheduling procedures can be more convenient, ensuring that you receive the best care without the summer rush. Take advantage of the availability now to prioritize your vascular health.
Don’t let varicose veins cast a shadow over your summer fun. Embrace the winter season as the perfect opportunity to address and treat these troublesome veins. By taking action now, you’re not only ensuring a smoother and more comfortable summer but also investing in your long-term vascular health. So, let this winter be the season of self-care, paving the way for confident and carefree summer days ahead.

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.
