Advanced. Minimally Invasive Vein Treatment
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
Radiofrequency Ablation targets the underlying cause of venous disease by closing malfunctioning veins that allow blood to pool in the legs.
45–60 minutes
Immediate
Local anesthesia
Minimally invasive
Conditions Treated with Radiofrequency Ablation
Chronic Venous Insufficiency
A condition in which damaged vein valves cause blood to flow backward and pool in the legs.
Large Varicose Veins
Bulging, twisted veins that cause discomfort, heaviness, swelling, or fatigue.
Venous Reflux
Abnormal backward blood flow in the veins that leads to worsening vein disease if left untreated.
What to Expect During Your Visit
A simple, transparent journey to better health.
A comprehensive medical assessment is performed, including Doppler ultrasound imaging to confirm venous reflux and plan treatment accurately.
A thin catheter is inserted into the affected vein under ultrasound guidance. Radiofrequency energy is then applied to gently heat and close the vein.
Compression stockings may be recommended. Most patients resume normal activities the same day.
