Our Philosophy:
At The Vein and Laser Centre, we take pride in a careful, individualized approach to vein care. Each patient comes with a unique set of venous issues and the care must be tailored to them. We utilize only the safest and most regulated technology in the delivery of our care. Consultations are free of charge with no commitment to book.
Treatments:
- Sclerotherapy involves the injection of either a therapeutic liquid or a foam into small spider and blue (reticular) veins to cause them to disappear. The treatment is performed in our clinic with a very small needle without the need for anesthetic.
- Endo Venous Laser Treatment is a laser procedure that permanently corrects the varicose or bulging vein issue in the legs. It is minimally invasive and the procedure takes less than an hour. It is performed with local anesthetic. It is safe and effective with no scarring. You can return to normal activity with little or no discomfort.
- Microphlebectomy involves the removal of small bulging (varicose) veins with a micro puncture technique. It is done under local anesthetic giving an excellent, no scar, result.
