Cosmetic Sclerotherapy

State-of-the-Art Treatment for Spider Veins

Cosmetic Sclerotherapy Experts in Chicago

There are Two Types of Sclerotherapy Procedures for Unhealthy Veins

Every year, The Chicago Vein Institute performs more than 1,300 sclerotherapy procedures to reduce the appearance of visible veins. This can be done for medical as well as cosmetic reasons. Sometimes, even though your veins are not a risk to your health, they can be unsightly. If you don’t like seeing them in the mirror, there are people at Chicago Vein Institute who can help you reduce or remove the appearance of these veins.

Sclerotherapy Facts & Info

Benefits of the Sclerotherapy Procedure

Procedures are performed directly in the office, and anesthesia is not required Patients have minimal pain and discomfort. There is no scarring whatsoever to worry about. There is also no downtime, so this is a good choice if people want to improve their bodies without having to take time away from work or family obligations. Nobody has to know that you had a procedure done because there will be no telltale signs of surgery. You won’t have to take time off of work, either.

Sclerotherapy can be performed with any skin type and complexion.

Ultrasound-Guided Sclerotherapy

Our doppler ultrasound servers a purpose in this procedure, as well.

Doctors use an ultrasound and fine gauge needle to inject a small amount of special solution into the affected veins. This allows us to target problem veins with great precision.

The injectable substance causes the vein(s) to collapse.

Surface Sclerotherapy

This alternative is often used to eliminate spider veins. Like ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy procedures, a very small needle is used to inject a solution that targets the unhealthy veins, and they will eventually disappear. If you’re thinking about Chicago-area options to treat unhealthy veins, contact us today to find out more about both of these solutions. We look forward to helping you find an appropriate solution.

Procedure and Recovery Timeline

After three to five sessions (on average), problem veins will be collapsed and begin disappearing. Over a period of about three to six months, the treated veins will completely disappear from view.

This intervention may be recommended for people with poor circulation because it shifts blood flow to healthy veins, however, it is often chosen simply for cosmetic reasons as well.

Just finished my treatment at the Chicago Vein Institute and I'm very happy with the services they provided. Dr. Sunje and his medical team did an excellent job. All of the treatments and aftercare were explained to me thoroughly and clearly. My appointments were scheduled very well to accommodate... my work hours, and they were helpful with my health insurance as well which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend them to all of my family and friends!read more

Ship- I don't know but I'm getting a lot of pain. I'm going 8/17 for my appointment. Why? I don't understand why it hurts. It's been ongoing.

Chicago Vein Institute is the place to go to change your life around! I knew my veins in legs were not good but didn't know how bad until the Chicago Vein Institute evaluated them and successfully treated them. I feel like I have new legs again, thanks to the Chicago Vein Institute. The doctors... and staff educated me about vein disease, very professional, nice and invested in patients' success. Best investment of time, money and energy for one's future.read more

If you suffer from rhoids (you know what I’m talking about!) just come here. They treat them with infrared laser to reduce the swelling and it helps tremendously. It’s a quick procedure and you’ll be feeling better soon after. Don’t walk around in silence. Yes it’s awkward but it’s better than... being in pain! I hope my review helps someone. I didn’t see any other reviews about them so thought I would help others out there. They do get busy so keep that in mind. Appointments are not always immediate. They were nice enough to squeeze me in one day on the same day basis because I was in so much pain. I’m very grateful for them.read more

Just had a wonderful experience at CVI. As a new patient, I learned so much from Paul. It is clear he loves his job, which makes the experience that much more positive. Dr. Sunje provided excellent care. I found the right place.

Dr. Sunje and his staff: Sandy/Vanessa- Receptionists; Cece, Paul, Madeline, Jackie, Vanessa, Joanna and Gabriela, are professional at what they do, respectively, yet personal in caring about my well being throughout the process. Each time I went, regardless of who was assisting with my outpatient... procedures, they were in tuned to making sure I was taken care of. Dr. Sunje called me on a Saturday to see how I was doing from an outpatient procedure I had completed the previous day. I look forward to my visits knowing that the best outcome will be achieved with Dr. Sunje and his staff.read more

My doc Cece was so nice and made me feel very welcomed. I asked for a specific, natural look and that’s exactly what I got. I had many questions and all of them were answered with full details. Her assistant Jazmine was so sweet and made me feel welcomed. I would definitely recommend! Every penny... was worth it. Quality service in all aspectsread more

This is the best vein clinic I have been to. Staff is very friendly and pleasant and Dr. Sunje gives you his undivided attention. I went for spider vein sclerotherapy on my legs and they did not only do an excellent job removing spider veins but also walked me through the steps of the procedure and... did a quick ultrasound to determine and explain the underlaying causes of my spider veins. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone with vein-related concerns on their legs.read more

I had such an amazing experience at the clinic. I had Dysport injections with Cecilia Lee and could not be happier with the results. She took excellent care of me and made me feel very comfortable with the procedure. Everyone I interacted with at the clinic was very professional and courteous.

The staff, physicians, nurses, PAs, NPs and administrative support, are incredibly friendly, and show genuine concern for the patient. Physicians and nurses take their time, reviewing procedures with clients, and patiently answers questions. The level of competence is very high. I have been to a... lot of offices that offer medical and cosmetic procedures, but this is the absolute best I ever found, bar none. I recommended the Chicago Vein Institute to my friends, and will continue to do so. I wish I could give more than 5 points!read more

Very pleased with everyone. From the doctors to the ultrasound tec, and all the staff. I've been treated good, and my treatment was explained very well. Definitely recommend this place to anyone that is suffering with varicose veins. It is somewhat painful but worth it. I'm halfway with my... treatment and I already see the difference. The doctor is very caring and helpful he takes his time to call his patients afterwards to make sure that your doing good.read more
