FACIAL VEINS - Calgary

LASER TREATMENT AND SCLEROTHERAPY FOR FACIAL VEINS

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT AT MY FIRST VISIT?

At your first visit to our Calgary clinic, you will be given a form to complete, that will outlline your medical history. The nurse will bring you into the examination/treatment area where she will transcribe the information and take your vital signs. To assist the doctor in establishing a diagnosis, a non-invasive diagnostic test may be performed on all new patients and patients who have not had laser treatment for veins or Sclerotherapy in the last twelve months. This test evaluates the venous circulation in your legs. Alberta Health Care (AHC) does not cover the cost of this test.

The doctor will then perform a thorough examination of your problem and, if needed, initiate further diagnostic testing. After all the test results are in, a treatment plan to improve your condition will be established. If you do not require further testing, a treatment plan outline will be suggested and you may begin treatment immediately.
