At Chicago Vein Care Center, we realize that many patients with varicose veins are worried about pain and discomfort from their procedure. This is why Dr. Ramon Castro and our medical team choose to perform minimally invasive treatment options that are practically pain-free and help reduce your fears.

What do Chicago residents need to know about painless vein treatments?

For individuals who want completely painless treatment, conservative therapies can be used. Conservative treatments are non-invasive, meaning no surgery is used. These treatments typically include lifestyle modifications that improve overall health to strengthen circulation and promote blood flow in the legs and feet. These methods include weight loss, decreasing dietary sodium, increasing exercise, and wearing compression stockings to help prevent worsening vein problems. However, it’s important to understand that conservative treatments only provide symptom relief and will not eliminate varicose veins or the underlying venous disease.

For a Vein care specialist in Chicago, sclerotherapy continues to be the treatment of choice to eliminate spider veins and small varicose veins. This procedure consists of a series of injections using a very fine needle to close off the offending veins. As a highly advanced Chicago vein treatment center, we utilize state-of-the-art technology in all of our procedures, including sclerotherapy, which makes this procedure virtually painless.

Radiofrequency ablation is also an option we offer to treat problem veins. This procedure is the use of harmless radiofrequency energy to seal off the affected veins. With time, the appearance of the treated varicose veins will fade, and most people feel immediately better. Like sclerotherapy, ablation is a minimally invasive procedure. This means it is a relatively comfortable procedure in its own right, but we also use a local anesthetic to numb the treatment area and keep you comfortable throughout.
