Dr. Luis Figueroa Offers Minimally Invasive Vein Treatments With OHIP-Covered Consultations in Richmond Hill
Richmond Hill, Canada – June 25, 2026 / VeinCentre /
VeinCentre, the Richmond Hill vein care clinic led by vascular surgeon Dr. Luis Figueroa, has formally expanded its office-based treatment program to include Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA), Medical Glue Ablation, and Sclerotherapy – bringing a broader range of minimally invasive options directly to patients in the York Region community. The move reflects a deliberate shift away from traditional hospital-based vein procedures toward same-day, office-based care that prioritizes precision, patient comfort, and accessibility.
A Surgeon-Led Approach to Office-Based Vein Care
At the center of VeinCentre’s model is Dr. Luis Figueroa, a trained vascular surgeon who oversees all consultations and procedures at the clinic’s location at 10720 Yonge St, Unit 228, Richmond Hill, ON L4C 3C9, Canada. Having a vascular surgeon directly involved in every stage of patient care – from initial assessment through treatment – sets a clinical standard that distinguishes office-based vein care from general cosmetic or aesthetic practices.
Dr. Figueroa’s background in vascular surgery informs the clinic’s emphasis on anatomical precision and procedural safety. Each treatment plan is developed based on the specific characteristics of a patient’s venous condition, rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Minimally Invasive Options: RFA, Medical Glue Ablation, and Sclerotherapy
The three core treatments now offered at VeinCentre represent a range of minimally invasive techniques suited to different types and severities of vein conditions.
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) uses controlled heat energy delivered through a thin catheter to close off damaged veins from within. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and typically requires no general sedation, allowing patients to return to normal activity shortly after treatment.
Medical Glue Ablation is a newer technique in which a medical-grade adhesive is used to seal the affected vein. The approach eliminates the need for tumescent anesthesia – the large volumes of local anesthetic commonly associated with traditional ablation methods – which many patients find significantly more comfortable. The absence of heat in the glue-based process also reduces certain procedural risks associated with thermal techniques.
Sclerotherapy remains one of the most established methods for treating smaller varicose veins and spider veins. A sclerosing solution is injected directly into the targeted vessel, causing it to collapse and eventually be reabsorbed by the body. At VeinCentre, Sclerotherapy is performed with the same level of clinical oversight applied to the clinic’s more advanced procedures.
OHIP-Covered Consultations for All Patients
One of the defining features of VeinCentre’s patient access model is that consultations are always covered by OHIP – Ontario’s provincial health insurance plan. This applies to all patients seeking an initial assessment for vein-related concerns, removing a common financial barrier that often delays individuals from pursuing a professional evaluation.
The OHIP coverage for consultations means that patients experiencing symptoms such as leg heaviness, swelling, visible varicose veins, or discomfort associated with venous insufficiency can meet with Dr. Figueroa at no out-of-pocket cost for the assessment itself. This structure allows the clinic to function as a point of entry for patients who may be uncertain about the severity of their condition or whether treatment is warranted.
Richmond Hill Location Serves the Greater York Region
VeinCentre’s office at 10720 Yonge St, Unit 228, Richmond Hill, ON L4C 3C9 is positioned along one of the York Region’s main corridors, making it accessible to residents of Richmond Hill, Markham, Aurora, Newmarket, and surrounding communities. The office-based setting means that patients are not required to navigate hospital scheduling or surgical booking queues for procedures that can be safely and effectively completed in a clinic environment.
The clinic’s focus on RFA, Medical Glue Ablation, and Sclerotherapy reflects an evidence-based approach to vein care – one grounded in the principle that minimally invasive techniques, when performed by a qualified vascular surgeon, can deliver outcomes that are comparable to more invasive surgical interventions with considerably less recovery burden for patients.
