Spider Vein Treatment in Chicago
These days, it’s always swimsuit season somewhere! Whether you’re chilling poolside in the theatre district in January, or heading out on Lake Michigan for a boating trip in July, spider veins - those unsightly clusters of tiny purple, red or blue veins - can do a real number on your bathing suit self-image. Consider your options for spider vein treatment, and get yourself back in the water!
What Spider Vein Treatments are Available?
There are two major types of treatments for spider veins. The most common treatment, called sclerotherapy, involves injecting a saline mixture directly into each affected vein. This causes the vein to instantly collapse and fade. Another spider vein fix is treatment with a laser. During laser treatment, a dermatologist will direct a laser beam at the affected veins, causing them to fade.
You’ll want to weigh the benefits of both treatments with a dermatologist and determine which is right for you. While some spider veins may disappear in just one session, others may need multiple treatments.
In-office treatment time for your spider veins can be as little as 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. After each session, your dermatologist may require you to wear a compression stocking, and you will be instructed to avoid exposing the treated area to sun for several weeks.
Should I Have Spider Vein Treatment?
Treating your spider veins either with a laser or a saline solution can make them appear less visible in as little as one session. Post-treatment, most people report a significant reduction or elimination of their spider veins. For some people, treatment may also improve the leg muscle aches and pains that are sometimes caused by the presence of spider veins.
How Much Does Spider Vein Treatment Cost in Chicago?
Spider vein treatment costs can vary widely in Chicago depending on the type of treatment you choose and the number of sessions needed. Expect to pay approximately $550 per session at most Chicago-area treatment centers.
