Precise. Effective. Minimally Invasive Vein Removal
Doppler Ultrasound is a non-invasive diagnostic imaging test used to evaluate blood flow through arteries and veins. By using high-frequency sound waves and the Doppler effect, this examination helps physicians detect circulatory problems, vascular blockages, and abnormalities in real time—without radiation or injections.
At our clinics in Montreal, Saint-Lambert, and Outremont, Doppler ultrasound examinations are performed using advanced medical imaging equipment by experienced healthcare professionals, ensuring precise and reliable results.

About the Procedure
Phlebectomy is commonly performed to remove veins that are too large for sclerotherapy but close enough to the skin to be safely extracted.

Conditions Treated with Phlebectomy
Bulging Varicose Veins
Large, visible veins that protrude through the skin and cause discomfort or cosmetic concerns.

What to Expect During Your Visit
A simple, transparent journey to better health.
A detailed medical assessment is performed, often supported by Doppler ultrasound imaging, to determine if phlebectomy is the most appropriate treatment.
Tiny incisions are made along the affected vein, allowing it to be removed in small segments using specialized instruments. Sutures are usually not required.
Compression stockings are recommended. Patients are encouraged to walk and can return to normal daily activities shortly after the procedure.
