We provide professional, compassionate care to deliver the most suitable solutions for your situation.

Understanding Varicose Veins

Varicose veins are dilated, visible superficial veins, most commonly located in the legs. Contrary to popular belief, these are not obstructed veins, but rather veins where blood circulation is less efficient.

Normally, blood flows from the feet toward the heart through a system of venous valves that close to prevent blood from flowing back down into the legs. Muscle contractions, particularly in the calves, also help pump blood upward. When these valves no longer function properly, blood can flow backward and pool in the veins, causing them to dilate.

Varicose veins are part of chronic venous insufficiency, a common condition that can progress over time. Several factors can contribute to their development, including genetics, pregnancy, hormonal changes, prolonged standing, obesity, and heat.

They can cause heavy legs, discomfort, swelling, or pain. In some cases, they may also lead to skin changes, superficial phlebitis, or venous ulcers.

A phlebology consultation and a venous ultrasound allow for a thorough evaluation of your condition, identification of the affected veins, and determination of the most appropriate treatment.

Several factors can contribute to the development of varicose veins:

Family history
Pregnancy
Age
Being overweight
Hormonal changes
Prolonged standing or sitting

Beyond their aesthetic appearance, varicose veins and venous insufficiency can also cause various discomforts, including:

Cramps
Leg fatigue
Pain or discomfort
Itching
A feeling of heaviness in the legs
Swelling of the legs or ankles

Consultation and Assessment

Each consultation begins with a thorough assessment of your condition to better understand your symptoms and needs. Through a careful evaluation and a personalized approach, we guide you toward the solutions best suited to your venous health.

Comprehensive Assessment

During your first visit, we take the time to understand your situation, symptoms, and concerns in order to provide personalized care and a thorough clinical assessment.
Ultrasound

An ultrasound is performed on-site while you are standing to assess your venous circulation and provide an accurate diagnosis.
Treatment Plan

Following the assessment, a treatment plan tailored to your needs is proposed, taking into account your condition and goals.
Measurements and Clinical Photographs

Targeted measurements and clinical photographs are taken during the consultation to document your baseline condition, monitor progress, and adjust your care plan as needed.

Varicose Vein Treatments

Sclerotherapy

Visual sclerotherapy is an injectable treatment used to treat small varicose veins, medium-sized veins, and visible spider veins. The injected solution acts directly on the vein wall to gradually close the vein. Blood is then naturally redirected to healthy veins.

Treatment is generally performed over several sessions of approximately 15 minutes. Each treatment plan is personalized according to the extent of the varicose veins and the patient’s goals.

Ultrasound-Guided Foam Sclerotherapy

This technique uses a sclerosing foam made by mixing a medication with air. The foam allows more uniform contact with the vein wall and can improve treatment effectiveness.

Guided by ultrasound, this approach allows certain larger or more dilated varicose veins to be treated precisely, particularly when reflux is present in the deeper veins. It is performed by a phlebology physician or a vascular surgeon, ensuring safe and personalized care for each patient.

This technique is particularly indicated for small to medium-sized varicose veins.

Endovenous Laser Treatment

Endovenous laser treatment is a modern technique used to treat certain incompetent veins without traditional surgery. Using a thin laser fiber inserted into the vein, thermal energy causes the diseased vein to close, after which it is gradually reabsorbed by the body.

This procedure is performed by a vascular surgeon and is a well-established treatment option for the saphenous veins responsible for many cases of varicose veins.

MOCA (Mechanochemical Ablation)

MOCA is a minimally invasive technique used to treat certain varicose veins without heat or surgery. Using a specialized catheter, the inner wall of the vein is mechanically treated while a sclerosing agent is injected simultaneously.

This approach effectively closes the treated vein while providing excellent comfort during the procedure.

The treatment is performed by a vascular surgeon directly in the clinic and allows for a quick return to normal activities.

Medical Adhesive

Medical adhesive, particularly the VenaSeal system, is one of the modern treatments available for venous insufficiency. It allows the vein to be sealed without the use of thermal energy.

This technique is selected based on the venous anatomy and the specific needs of each patient following an assessment and ultrasound examination.

This approach is performed by a vascular surgeon and may be recommended based on the diagnosis.

Microphlebectomy

Microphlebectomy is a procedure used to remove certain visible varicose veins through very small incisions made on the surface of the skin. This technique allows larger veins that cannot be effectively treated with injections alone to be removed directly.

Depending on the patient’s condition, complementary treatments such as sclerotherapy may be recommended after the procedure to optimize results. Regular follow-up also helps monitor long-term venous health.

The procedure is performed meticulously by a vascular surgeon to promote a comfortable recovery.

Minor Procedures

Certain complementary procedures may be recommended depending on your venous condition and the results of your assessment. These procedures are performed in a safe environment and are intended to improve your comfort and support your venous health.

They may include the treatment of skin lesions such as sebaceous cysts, lipomas, nevi, skin tags, ingrown toenails, or other types of skin lesions.

Treatment options will be discussed with you to determine the approach best suited to your needs and goals.

Screening and Diagnosis of Peripheral Arterial Disease

Screening and diagnostic testing for peripheral arterial disease can be performed to provide a comprehensive assessment of your arterial circulation. This evaluation helps detect potential narrowing or blockages in the arteries that may affect blood flow to the organs and limbs.

When necessary, a Doppler ultrasound examination of the carotid arteries, abdominal aorta, and arteries of the lower limbs may be performed. This non-invasive examination allows blood flow to be analyzed in real time and helps accurately identify any abnormalities in arterial circulation.

This approach allows for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate care based on the results.

Custom-Fitted Compression Stockings

Compression stockings are an essential part of managing venous conditions. They apply graduated pressure to the legs, promoting blood flow back toward the heart, improving circulation, and helping reduce symptoms such as heaviness, swelling, and leg fatigue.

They may also help slow the progression of venous insufficiency when used regularly and appropriately.

Our team takes precise measurements to ensure an optimal fit, maximum comfort, and appropriate therapeutic effectiveness.

Prescription

You may come in with an existing prescription. If necessary, an assessment can also be performed on-site to provide you with a prescription tailored to your condition.

FAQ

Are Varicose Veins Obstructed Veins?

No. Contrary to a common belief, varicose veins are not obstructed veins, but rather enlarged veins in which blood circulation is less efficient. When the venous valves do not function properly, blood tends to pool in the veins, contributing to their enlargement and the development of symptoms.
