Vein Therapy

Unwanted veins are enlarged, dilated or broken veins that are visible through the skin. They can occur anywhere on the body, and are caused by various factors, including age, sun damage, pregnancy, and genetics.

At SoLux Med Spa in Chicago, different medical techniques are used to erase or remove unwanted veins, depending on the specific needs of the patient. Schedule a consultation to determine the best treatment for you.

Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is a medical procedure in which a solution is injected into the vein, causing it to seal off. Once the vein is closed, blood is naturally rerouted to other healthy veins. In time, the closed vein is absorbed by the body. A typical treatment session consists of multiple microinjections. A topical anesthetic may be applied to minimize discomfort. For larger varicose veins, ultrasound guidance may be used to ensure precision.

EVLT™ - EndoVenous Laser Treatment
EVLT™, or endovenous laser treatment, is currently one of the best available techniques for eliminating varicose veins. Often considered the “gold standard” in vein therapy, a session usually takes less than thirty minutes and is minimally invasive. Laser energy is directed to the problem veins, which respond by shrinking and sealing off. The body redirects blood flow from the damaged veins to healthier ones, and the sealed veins are absorbed. EVLT™ has high success rate and most patients are able to resume typical activities within days.
