Your vein evaluation and treatment in Streeterville
Before recommending treatment, we use a venous duplex ultrasound to see which veins are failing. This maps the diseased segments and confirms the source of reflux before any procedure begins.
Vein Treatments Available
- Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT)
- Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
- VenaSeal
- Sclerotherapy for Spider Veins
- Chronic Venous Insufficiency Treatment
- Venous Ulcer Evaluation and Treatment
Procedures are done in-office in under an hour with no general anesthesia. Most patients return to normal activity the same day or the following morning.
Dr. Elbaridi uses ultrasound to map the diseased veins before recommending any procedure. He identifies exactly which segments are failing and which treatment is appropriate for each patient’s specific anatomy. He reviews your ultrasound with you and performs your procedure himself.
When to Seek Vein Treatment
Varicose veins that are causing leg aching, heaviness, swelling, or skin changes near the ankle are not a cosmetic concern. These symptoms indicate that the valves inside the leg veins are failing and blood is pooling in the lower leg. Without treatment, venous insufficiency progresses and becomes harder to address.
