RegisteredNurse inOwen Sound. She has spent over 20 years as a
nurse - most recently in palliative care. InMay 1994, she suffereda
near-fatal car accident and required sevenorthopedic surgeries to re-
pair the damage to her legs. The accident, the surgeries and years of
working longhoursonher feet resulted ina“colourful roadmap”ofpur-
pleandblueveinsonbothher legs. ThiscausedKimyearsof feelingun-
comfortablewhenever her legswerevisible in skirtsor shorts.
While clothes shoppingone day, Kimwas tryingon dresses and the
sales woman asked her if she had ever heardof sclerotherapy (vein
treatments). That comment promptedKim to seek out treatment for her
legveinconcernsat Thornbury LegVeinClinic.
Kimbeganwithamedical evaluationwithDr. TimRemillardand then
metwithKathydeLangleyR.N. foracomplimentaryconsultationbefore
beginning her vein treatments. Sclerotherapy treatmentswere recom-
mended toeliminateunsightlypurpleandblue legveins. Kimwas very
surprisedat howquick, affordableandeffectiveher treatment sessions
were. Shewas able to resume all her regular activities right after her
treatmentswithno interruption toher normal routine.

Kim’sstory is typicalof ThornburyLegVeinClinicclients. Theclinicwas
opened in2013byKathyde LangleyR.N. toprovideassessment and
treatment for unsightlyand uncomfortable leg veins. Kathy first began
treatingclients in2000withSclerotherapyand Lasers.

consultationandassessment. Then, theyare seenbyDr.Remillard fora
medical evaluationbeforecommencing their treatments.
Sclerotherapyeffectively treats unhealthyandunsightly leg veins. It in-
volves injecting a solution into the affected vein. The solution causes
thevein tocollapseand forcesblood tobe redirected tohealthierveins.
The collapsed vein is then resorbedby thebodyanddisappears. Pho-
tographsare takenbefore treatment so that clientscansee the improve-
ment.
