Varicose Vein Treatment & Spider Vein Removal in Chicago, IL

Spider veins are small, colorful veins that usually pop up on your thighs, calves, and ankles. They might look like tiny spiderwebs or thin lines that trail up and down like tree branches. They’re known in the medical world as telangiectasias. They aren’t nearly as common in men as they are in women.

Varicose veins, on the other hand, are bigger, darker, and often bulge. They can cause pain, whereas spider veins are usually a cosmetic issue alone. Both types of veins can make people feel extremely self-conscious and cause physical discomfort.

Varicose veins are typically only found on the calves, while facial veins and veins on the thighs or chest are usually spider veins.

At the Liposuction and Cosmetic Surgery Institute, we use cutting-edge laser technology for spider vein removal in Chicago.

Our laser vein removal procedure is straightforward and effective. Light energy is delivered directly to the veins, which heats them without harming the surrounding tissue. This process triggers coagulation of the blood vessels, which causes them to gradually fade as the body absorbs them.

Our medical lasers are also effective in treating varicose leg veins, which are larger and can impact blood flow.

Most people see results after just 1-2 sessions, though sometimes additional treatments are necessary.

If you’re tired of hiding your legs and avoiding certain clothes because of spider or varicose veins, laser vein treatment could be right for you. Ideal candidates are individuals who want to improve the appearance of veins on their legs and other parts of the body with little to no downtime.

Whether you’re dealing with small spider veins or large varicose veins that cause discomfort, our treatments are safe and effective. However, laser vein treatment isn’t suitable for everyone.

If you’re pregnant or have tattoos where you want treatment, you might not be eligible. Also, certain medications can complicate the process. This includes blood thinners, drugs that increase your sensitivity to light, and Accutane.

Moreover, if you have conditions like vitiligo, herpes, or diabetes, you may not be eligible for laser vein therapy. It’s important to talk to your doctor to determine if this treatment is right for you.
