Your Loveliest Legs Ever - with Avenue Skin Care’s Leg Vein Therapy

Part1

Leg Vein Removal Serving Toronto

Perhaps, like many women, you avoid showing your legs because of leg veins, those small clusters of red, blue or purple veins that appear on the thighs, calves and ankles. You are not alone.

The skin care therapists at Avenue Skin Care’s Toronto leg vein removal clinic, estimate that at least half of all women are bothered by the common cosmetic problem of leg veins.

Why do leg veins occur?

In some women, leg veins can become noticeable while the women are still in their early 20s. For other women seeking leg vein removal in Toronto, the veins may not become obvious until they reach their 40s. And yes, men get leg veins, too. However, usually they’re frequently hidden by hair growth on the leg.

Your leg veins may have developed for various reasons in combination, including:

  • Pregnancy
  • Heredity
  • Hormonal shifts
  • Weight gain
  • Occupations or activities that require prolonged sitting or standing

PLEASE NOTE: If leg veins are the problem, your doctor may want to examine you for signs of more serious “deep vein” problems, as well as for larger, varicose veins. If problems are found, your doctor may refer you to a specialist for further evaluation and possible treatment.

Your leg vein treatment at Avenue Skin Care’s Toronto clinic

A common method of treating leg veins in the legs and ankles is with sclerotherapy. In this treatment, a specially prepared solution is injected into each affected vein, causing the vein to collapse and fade from view.

Leg veins may also be treated with a laser. In this method, an intense beam of light is directed at the leg vein, which obliterates it through the skin.

Typically, multiple sessions at Avenue Skin Care are needed to obtain the desired results. Sometimes, laser therapy is used in combination with sclerotherapy.

Leg vein treatments are done at Avenue Skin Care’s fully equipped Toronto skin care clinic. After your treatment, you may be asked to wear support hose, both a comfort and an aid to your healing.

Your skin care therapist will give you specific instructions that may include: how to care for your legs after treatment, medications to apply or take orally to aid healing, and when to follow-up with your skin therapist at Avenue Skin Care.
