What is Vein Treatment?
Varicose and spider veins occurring on the legs, face and nose can be treated.
Cost:
Sclerotherapy may be covered by Manitoba Health depending on the severity of your varicose veins. Spider veins will not be covered and must be paid for privately. The price ranges from $200-600.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE: Patients are required to wear compression dressings or stockings for 1-3 weeks after treatment for best long-term results.
Spider veins are not functioning.
In case the idea of evaporating your blood vessels makes you uneasy, spider veins are already broken. They’re not doing the job they were meant to do, so your circulatory system won’t miss them.
Spider veins in your legs usually arise because the tiny valves that push the blood forward weaken with age. As the capillaries bulge with blood, they branch out, causing the spidery appearance of red, blue, or purple superficial veins.
When you have spider veins on your face, they’re usually a sign of damage. Sun exposure can degrade the integrity of facial veins. So can treating your face too roughly, particularly around the nose.
Anything that increases pressure on your blood vessels increases your risk of broken valves and weakened veins and capillaries. Even being overweight, pregnant, or standing all day, could increase your risk for spider veins.
The treatment usually takes about 20 minutes. Your spider veins clear up gradually over the next few weeks as your body reabsorbs and eliminates the collapsed capillaries.

Are they different kinds?
What causes these?
Do veins hurt?
Can I get rid of them?
Interventions available include surgical and non-surgical measures. Not all veins can be managed non surgically and may only be able to be managed through surgery. Non-surgical measures include electrical or laser treatments. Or use of medications injected into the vein.
Surgical treatments remove the offending veins while non-surgical measures work by irritating the lining of the vein, and then compressing the sides together so that the vein sticks closed and eventually goes away. Our team uses injections with safe agents to manage veins.
Are treatments permanent?
Are treatments covered by Manitoba health insurance?
Smaller veins and asymptomatic veins like spider veins are not covered but can still be successfully managed but are billed privately to the client.
