Vein Care Services
Laser vein treatment, sclerotherapy & more
Treatments
All procedures are performed in an office setting without surgery using state-of-the-art techniques. All procedures are performed by our board certified physicians at our Oak Park and Wilmette clinics.
Varithena
Ultrasound-guided foam that closes varicose veins, often in one visit.
Sclerotherapy
Quick injections that fade spider veins and small varicose veins.
Laser Therapy (ELAS)
A thin laser fiber seals the vein that causes most varicose veins.
Micro-Phlebectomy
Bulging surface veins removed through tiny nicks. No stitches.
Ultrasound
Painless in-office mapping of your leg veins. Where every plan starts.
Support Stockings
Relief for heavy, swollen legs, and part of long-term care.
How vein treatments work
Each treatment works on a different vein.
Vein problems sit at different depths in the leg. Which veins are involved decides the treatment, which is why every plan starts with an ultrasound.
Spider veins
Fine red or blue lines in the skin. Sclerotherapy injections make them fade over several weeks.
Bulging surface veins
Ropey veins just under the skin. Micro-phlebectomy removes them through tiny nicks, with no stitches.
The saphenous vein
The long vein from the ankle to the groin is the source of most varicose veins. Varithena foam or a thin laser fiber (ELAS) closes it from the inside.
Where it starts
An in-office ultrasound maps your leg veins and shows which ones are refluxing. That decides the treatment.
Not sure which treatment you need?
You do not have to know. Every plan starts with an in-office ultrasound and a conversation with the physician. The ultrasound shows which veins are refluxing, and that decides the treatment, not the other way around.
| Treatment | Best for | How it works | Anesthesia | Typical downtime |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Varithena | Varicose veins fed by a saphenous vein that is not working | Ultrasound-guided microfoam closes the vein | Local, if any | Walk out the same day; light activity right away |
| Laser ablation (ELAS) | A refluxing greater saphenous vein | A thin laser fiber seals the vein from the inside | Local | Walk out the same day; compression for a short period |
| Sclerotherapy | Spider veins and smaller varicose veins | A solution injected into the vein makes it fade over weeks | None | None; several sessions may be needed |
| Micro-phlebectomy | Bulging surface veins | Tiny incisions remove the vein segment | Local | Walk out the same day; compression afterward |
Your legs have places to go.
