Sclerotherapy

What is sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy is an effective varicose vein treatment option that can be used to reduce the appearance of varicose veins and provide long-term relief. The procedure can have immediate results with minimal discomfort and has been successful in treating small varicose veins on both legs and arms. Sclerotherapy isn’t painful, doesn’t require sedation, and the procedure is quick.

Do I have to go to a hospital for this treatment?

No hospital visit! It’s an outpatient procedure done at one of our clinics in Des Plaines, Hinsdale, Wood Dale, or South Loop.

How is it performed?

During sclerotherapy, a physician injects a liquid or foam solution into varicose veins using a very fine needle. The solution causes the veins to scar and collapse, which seals them shut and redirects blood flow through healthier veins close by.

How long is the procedure?

Each session typically results in the elimination of 50-80% of the injected veins and lasts 30-45 minutes.

When can I notice results?

Most patients find it relatively painless and report seeing results in only 4–6 weeks post procedure. However, multiple sclerotherapy sessions are very common.

What are the side effects of sclerotherapy?

As with any medical procedure, there are some potential side effects to be aware of. These can include swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort. However, it's important to remember that most side effects are temporary and resolve within a few days or weeks.

Varithena

What is Varithena?

Varithena is the injectable foam solution that has been proven as a safe and successful treatment to combat varicose veins quickly and effectively and without surgery or vein stripping.

Will there be any scarring?

No scarring. You’ll leave our office with a small band-aid to cover where the needle was used. Patients can go home immediately after their treatment with no disruption to their daily life. The area may become tender or swollen as a result of treatment, but these effects are generally mild and short-lived.

How does it work?

The Varithena procedure involves the injection of a medical foam directly into the affected veins, causing small bubbles to form so the vein then breaks apart. No sedation required as the procedure is painless.
