Varicose Vein Treatment in Chicagoland

Over time, the veins in your body will be prone to damage. When they grow too large or become twisted, they become what’s known as varicose veins. Varicose veins are most commonly found in the lower parts of your body. Beginning as simple cosmetic concerns, these veins can turn into a source of pain and discomfort if left unchecked. Varicose veins can even grow into more serious medical concerns.

Techniques for the treatment of varicose veins come in many forms. The two most popular forms of treatment are EVLT (endo venous laser therapy) and VNUS Closure. EVLT relies on thermal energy whereas VNUS Closure uses a catheter. Both of these techniques involve burning the saphenous vein in your inner thigh with the assumption that this is the main source of varicose veins.

A fiber will be passed through the saphenous vein and moved up into the groin. There, the temperature of this wire will be raised enough to burn it. Recurring veins are common for varicose vein patients. The best way to avoid these recurring issues is to avoid the source of the vein in conjunction with these procedures.

At the end of the treatment process, you’ll then be able to rely on laser therapy. Lasers are only used after all major leaks and veins are sealed. Without meeting these conditions, your therapy will fail. In Chicagoland and New Lenox, IL, look to the board-certified surgeons at Vein and Laser Center for varicose vein treatment.
