Vein Treatments
At his Chicago practice, Dr. Horn utilizes advanced vein treatments to help reduce the appearance of spider veins and help his patients enjoy a healthy, youthful look. Although both men and women develop spider veins, men do not typically seek treatment because the veins are concealed by leg hair. Many women, however, are self-conscious about their spider veins, which may be blue, red, or purple in color and can branch out in multiple directions. The veins, which occur for a number of reasons, may cause burning, itching, cramping, or other bothersome side effects. Fortunately, Dr. Horn can help patients at his Chicago practice with safe, effective vein treatments.
Sclerotherapy
The sclerotherapy procedure uses a sclerosing agent to collapse the spider veins, causing them to fade. The sclerosing agent is injected directly into the affected veins, and depending on your individual needs, anywhere from five to 40 injections may be required. Typically performed in a short 15 to 45 minute session at our Chicago practice, sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive, outpatient procedure that does not require anesthesia.
After vein treatment, you may be required to wear compression tape or support hose for up to 72 hours. This step can help protect against blood clots and speed healing. Most patients are able to return to work and normal activities immediately after the procedure. However, residual bruising and discoloration may last for several months until complete healing is achieved and the full results of your vein treatment are evident.
