Our Toronto Vein Clinic offers complete diagnosis and
treatment of all cosmetic varicose veins and spider
veins by Board Certified physicians. To visit our Vein
Clinic Home Page, and see our rates, click HERE.
Please note: we are one of the few clinics to offer Duplex Ultrasound technology for the diagnosis of leg veins. This advanced equipment is the state-of-the-art in Vein Medicine, and allows the Doctor to actually see and treat the deeper, hidden veins that feed your surface, smaller veins.
Some Clinics or Spas offer lower rates, but because they do not use Duplex Ultrasound or the most powerful sclerosing agents, patients often need re-treatment every year. This is because the source of the problem is not fixed.Often one or two sessions at our clinic treat a problem that has been recurring for years despite treatment at other clinics.
Make sure to ask whether your clinic has Duplex Ultrasound, so you can have the best diagnosis and treatment results, at the lowest cost!
Clinic fees:
Initial Duplex scan/consultation $75.00 (This will be credited towards your treatment)
Sclerotherapy Session (half-hour) $200.00
Duplex Guided Injection Session (usually for major vein systems) $300.00

Important Questions to ask when choosing a Vein Clinic:
Who will provide my consultation?
At some clinics nurses or administrators provide your initial consultation. At our clinic, only Board Certified Doctors care for you from your first visit. Even small, superficial veins can be caused by deeper, more serious vein-reflux or by other medical problems. Proper, specialist medical assessment is a must!
We use state- of-the-art imaging technology to get an accurate diagnosis of your vein problem. We see many patients who have had multiple treatments at non-specialist clinics, only to have continual recurrences of their veins. This is because deeper vein systems were not diagnosed and treated!
Who will provide my treatment sessions?
Your treatments are performed only by Board Certified Doctors.
Can you handle all levels of vein problems?
Yes! Some clinics only treat very minor, superficial veins. If there is a deeper source of the problem, they are not equipped to diagnose or to treat it.
What if I have a Complication? Will I have to be referred elsewhere?
Like any Medical procedure, there is a chance of complications. Though these are uncommon, it is important to have proper medical follow-up. Unlike many non-specialist vein clinics our Doctors follow every case personally, and are always available if there is any problem.
Initial Assesement
Your initial evaluation (no charge) includes a complete Medical history and physical examination conducted by a Specialist in Vein Medicine. The doctor will discuss and explain the extent of your vein problem, rule out other contributing medical conditions, and recommend several treatment options. These include:
Compression Stocking Therapy
For very early or mild cases, compression garments can work very well. We carry a complete line of the latest styles and colors. Modern compression stockings are very stylish, and cannot be distinguished from regular stockings. They are appropriate for men or women.
Stockings are required after any treatment. We usually recommend that you purchase two pairs.
Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy involves injection into the veins to
collapse them. Superficial injections can be done quickly
and simply. Generally, more than one session is required,
depending on the extent of the disease. Sessions usually
last 10-15 minutes.
Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy sessions usually last about 30-45 minutes.
Duplex Ultrasound Mapping
If there is any evidence of deeper vein disease, the Doctor will recommend Duplex Mapping. We are one of the only clinics in Ontario to offer this high-tech ultrasound examination for Varicose Veins treatment. The Doctor examines the entire venous system, in order to determine the source of the problem. In many cases of Varicose and Spider veins, it is not possible to solve the problem without this information.
A proper Duplex examination saves both time and money, since treatment failures are much fewer. If you are a patient who has undergone years of therapy for your veins, you likely did not need to endure this.
Laser Therapy
We use only the latest, state-of-the art lasers for treating veins. The laser is most effective in treating small reddish/blue "spider veins". These can be treated quickly and painlessly. Unlike some non-specialist clinics, we only use the laser to treat small veins after any underlying, deeper problems have been treated. All treatments are done by Board Certified Laser Physicians, not by technicians or nurse/aestheticians.
EndoVenous Laser Therapy
We are one of the first clinics in Canada to offer this exciting, new treatment! It is used in the event that the main junction of the saphenous vein is not functioning normally. This causes many cases of moderate to severe varicose veins. The treatment is done under local anesthetic and is highly effective.
Treatment at our Vein Clinic is conducted only by highly trained and experienced Specialist Doctors. It is very important to treat vein disease as a medical condition, and to undertake diagnosis and treatment with the most advanced technology available. You can rely on our expertise and commitment to you as our patient to achieve the best possible results.
