Microphlebectomy
At Ontario Vascular, we offer ambulatory microphlebectomy as a safe, effective, and non-surgical treatment for large, bulging varicose veins. This procedure removes damaged veins through tiny incisions, providing immediate cosmetic and symptomatic relief, with no stitches and minimal downtime.
What Is Microphlebectomy?
Microphlebectomy (also known as ambulatory phlebectomy) involves the removal of varicose veins through very small punctures in the skin. It is performed under local anesthesia and is especially effective for veins that are:
​
-
Large and protruding
-
Close to the surface of the skin
-
Causing discomfort, heaviness, or swelling
-
Resistant to sclerotherapy or thermal ablation alone.
Who Is a Candidate for Microphlebectomy?
-
Performed in-clinic under local anesthesia
-
No stitches needed—tiny incisions heal naturally
-
Minimal scarring and low risk of complications
-
Walk in and walk out the same day
-
Compression stockings may be recommended for recovery
