Laser Vein Removal in Toronto
At Kingsway Dermatology & Cosmetic Centre, we’re dedicated to providing you with treatments that will help you look and feel like your best self. Our experienced physicians and highly qualified staff members offer medical and cosmetic dermatology treatments that will ensure effective, natural-looking results.
Spider veins can be unsightly and make you feel self-conscious. If you’re unhappy with the way your body looks due to spider veins, we have treatment options to remove them and help you love your skin.

What Are Spider Veins?
Spider veins are visible red, blue, or purple leg veins that form when the veins become dilated and join together just below the skin’s surface; they may be single veins that are barely noticeable, or they can spread out in a web-like pattern under larger areas of the skin. They are commonly found in the face and legs but can also appear on the torso or chest. On the face, spider veins are also known as broken capillaries or telangiectasia.
Unfortunately, spider veins cannot be prevented, and genetics plays a heavy role in their appearance. Strategies to help reduce your risk of spider veins include maintaining a healthy weight and wearing compression stockings when exercising if you have a family history of spider veins.

Spider Vein Treatment Options at Kingsway
At Kingsway Dermatology, we offer two methods of laser spider vein removal, along with sclerotherapy.
- – excel V+ for Spider Vein Removal: excel V+ is an award-winning laser with the ideal wavelength to target spider veins, and its broad set of capabilities allows it to address a wide range of superficial to deep vascular concerns. During treatment, the visible blood vessel absorbs the heat from the laser, causing it to shrink and fade from view.
- – IPL/BBL Laser Spider Vein Removal: Our Palomar Icon IPL (intense pulsed light) laser and Sciton® BBL (broadband light) laser use wavelengths of broad-spectrum light to target vessels in the skin, using heat to destroy the spider veins while leaving the surrounding tissue unaffected. The veins are then absorbed back into the body naturally.
- – Sclerotherapy: Sclerotherapy is an injectable treatment for spider veins in the legs, where our dermatologists will inject the vein with a solution to irritate the vessel and cause it to fade over a 4-to-6-week period.
Patient testimonials
Kelly, the managing director, is also fantastic—always pleasant and so thorough in explaining everything. What I really appreciate about this practice is that they don't push unnecessary treatments or procedures. In fact, when I asked about a couple of things, I was told I didn’t need them, which really speaks volumes about their ethics and commitment to patient care. I feel like I'm in great hands here and wouldn’t go anywhere else!
results are unbelievable topnotch service and hospitality is next level ,she always treats me like her personal guest i never feel like a client with her ,she answers all my queries happily and i am still in the middle of getting my final results but katie is just amazing .
Katie is very knowledgeable and professional. From the beginning Katie put my mind at ease and made me feel as comfortable as possible.
She is so kind and friendly and I always look forward to our conversations during my treatments.
I would highly recommend Kingsway Cosmetic Centre without hesitation to anyone. Katie and the rest of the staff have all been terrific.

While there I saw they can remove sun spots and wrinkles.
I booked a consultation and during that I decided I want to give laser a go! Such a great place!
I couldn’t be happier with their staff, service, cleanliness and experience.
Thank you so much!
I highly recommend this clinic.
The results from my treatment are amazing! I could not be happier.
Special thanks to Steph and Katie who went above and beyond. Personable and kind, they made me feel at ease and not like an end-of-day appointment burden.
Dr F. Redlick
As I was suffering from a terrible skin condition I visited several Dr
How had no clue of what they are doing; and prescribed me all kinds of creams. Every cream I tried made the condition worse but, the moment Dr Redlick, looked at my skin, immediately; she knew the problem and cured.
A month ago I started the treatment and the disease is vanishing.
Dr Bartolo, St Catherine’s,
Dr Simon, Dr Kelada Sedra;
Have no clue of skin problems.
And that’s why I suffered for 3 years.
Please if you are in need of a Dermatologist. Kingsway has the solution.
I'm a little thrown off by some of the reviews that mention the clinic trying to push expensive products onto their patients. My experience has been the opposite as Dr. Ruppel has given me the cheapest options possible, along with samples of a product to use before we commit to anything medication due to my lack of insurance. It was much appreciated as it helped narrow down the medication for her to prescribe after the fact.
If I were to nitpick, the initial appointment took around 7 months to schedule. That being said, I doubt this is exclusive only to Kingsway Derm.
Highly recommend!
I can't stress enough how much I appreciate Katie's expertise and the care she puts into her work. The results I've seen so far have exceeded my expectations, and I can't wait to see the final outcome after completing all my sessions. I highly recommend Katie to anyone looking for exceptional IPL laser treatments. Thank you, Katie, for your exceptional attention and care and for making this journey so positive and rewarding!
Katie is wonderful to work with, highly recommend Kingsway Dermatology and Cosmetic Centre.
My treatments were effective and I will be returning to the clinic for follow up maintenance.
It really doesn’t get any better the Doctors are great…
Cheers,
Bradley
I received a laser treatment from Katie and I can’t recommend her enough. Katie put me at ease and went above and beyond to make sure I got the best results.
If you’re looking for a trustworthy clinic that offers effective treatments and a pleasant experience, look no further!
I saw Katie who expertly handled the Excel V laser and answered all of my questions. She addressed all of my problem areas and particularly focused on the periorbital area I was targeting. Not only, the aftercare was excellent and I appreciated Katie's follow up. It's now been around a week since the treatment and I no longer have blue veins surrounding my eyes.
I'm extremely happy with the results, and if I'm in Toronto and in need of a touch up, I'll surely stop by again! Thanks.
Dr. Yuliya was very personable and made me feel comfortable. She shared her personal experience and did not make me feel pressured to do any procedure that I was not comfortable with. She provided all the information and options in order for me to make an informed decision.
My laser specialist Emily was incredible. Emily was so kind and really made me feel comfortable in every session. She is definitely in the right career and has a bright future, a true asset to Kingsway D.
My treatments - I have always looked after my skin but I was starting to notice age spots and a lack of the youthful glow we all want ;).
I purchased a pkg of 6 IPL treatments and am pleased with the results overall.
Everyone’s pain threshold is different and Emily was very good at adjusting if needed. Every session she would start with a pulse or two to gage my tolerance that day. These treatments are are a little painful (like elastic-band snaps to the skin) but no pain no gain! …they do work. I had zero down time (which I understand varies by client) & have noticed a difference. I will do a few more treatments and then continue with maintenance (very important).
I’m 60 this year and wish I had considered options like this years ago.Thank you Emily for rejuvenating my face!
Dr. Fischer and the other dermatology staff explain treatment options and carefully treat my trivial and more serious skin problems with understanding and empathy.

Amazing and friendly staff! 10/10 experience.
Dr. Redlick made me feel extremely comfortable and was so helpful.
I have noticed improvements with the skin, however, was expecting more improvements for the cost and amount of sessions received.
Only con was parking. Very narrow underground. Also, the cosmetic side isn’t as good as the Derm side. It isn’t as good as it can be. I’ve been to more places that are more advanced or have effective treatments rather than geared towards basic and fast. If you’re paying premium prices, I expect better service.
The staff are amazing.
Very pleased with the procedures that I had done with Dr. Poulos.
About the environs well, it's a very modern clinic. Really clean and stylish; more like a salon or spa than a clinic! Friendly staff as well. Also, there's pay parking in the garage below the building, very convenient. Recommended.
Your amazing !!!
I highly recommend Kingsway dermatology for all your needs on aging very well !!!
Thanks 🙏
Jennifer
P.S The products are fabulous ❤️
During my follow up appointment this week, Dr. Velykoredko was very efficient, pleasant to talk to and better still gave me a clean bill of health! It is so nice to see this clinic being so focused on the patient.
I’ll be back again soon. Kingsway are now my absolute “go to” in Toronto for any future procedures. 5 stars ⭐️
Dr. Elena Poulos, and what a wonderful experience it was!
I had some dermatology issues that needed to be addressed.
Dr. Poulos solved all of these issues.
Dr. Poulos is extremely professional, and competent, very pleasant and has a very good sense of humour.
I left the appointment feeling extremely satisfied and reassured, and with all my concerns resolved.
We have the highest praise for
Dr. Poulos and her staff.
The experience could not have been any better. And it vastly improved my day to day life. We highly recommend
Dr. Elena Poulos.
Best Regards,
Robert and Anna Lowery.
I recently visited Kaite at Kingsway Dermatology Clinic for a treatment with their Halo laser, and I'm absolutely amazed by the results! My skin has never looked better – it's radiant, smooth, and feels rejuvenated.
From the moment I walked in, the clinic's staff were professional, knowledgeable, and attentive. They took the time to explain the Halo laser treatment process and what to expect, which eased my concerns and made me feel comfortable with my decision.
The procedure itself was surprisingly easy and virtually painless. The Halo laser worked its magic, targeting skin imperfections and boosting collagen production to leave my skin looking fabulous. The best part? The results were visible almost immediately!
I can't recommend Kingsway Dermatology Clinic and their Halo laser treatment enough. If you're looking to transform your skin, this is the place to go. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!
In terms of Kingsway Dermatology and Cosmetic Centre as a whole, the first time I came to Kingsway Dermatology was nearly ten years ago when I was a teenager and I can attest that the excellent service and care they provide has not changed in the past decade. You can expect the utmost professionalism, knowledge, and kindness at this clinic. I would strongly recommend choosing Kingsway Dermatology for your needs.
The clinic is very clean and the staff was very friendly. The location is very easy to get to. There's also paid parking above ground and underground.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Spider Vein Treatment is Right for Me?
When you come to Kingsway for your comprehensive spider vein removal consultation, our experts will sit down with you and review your skin concerns and goals. Once we determine the treatment that will help you achieve the results you’re hoping for, we’ll give you a better idea of what to expect, including the cost, number of sessions, and recovery time for whichever treatment is best for you.
Does Spider Vein Removal Hurt?
During laser spider vein removal, you may experience slight pain or discomfort, as with any of our other laser treatments. You may feel a slight burning or stinging sensation, but it only lasts for the duration of your laser treatment. For sclerotherapy, most patients do not experience any pain beside a slight pinch from the injection.
Is There Downtime for Spider Vein Removal?
After both therapies, patients generally return to daily activities immediately. You may initially experience some irritation, swelling, or bruising in the treatment areas after both sclerotherapy and laser vein removal treatments. Compression stockings may help to reduce pain and help the healing process.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Reducing the appearance of spider veins with laser treatment can take a few sessions depending on the area that is covered, and the number of vessels being treated. For sclerotherapy, the number of sessions will depend on the number of veins being treated.
Is the Treatment Permanent?
In most cases, treatment from both sclerotherapy and laser spider vein removal are permanent. However, it’s still possible for new spider veins to develop at any time, so it may be a good idea to keep wearing compression stockings and make sure you’re staying active!
