Varicose veins occur in the legs when the superficial veins that carry blood from the legs to the heart stop working properly. Fortunately, since damaged veins are superficial and just underneath the skin, they can be removed without inhibiting healthy circulation. This means you can achieve the goal of smooth legs again. Here at Pacific Vein Care in McHenry, IL, we are proud to offer large vein therapy and encourage you to learn more about it.
Therapy for Varicose Veins
We offer several treatments to remove large varicose veins. When you have your first consultation, your veins will be examined and some tests may be done to determine the extent of the affected veins.
Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is a treatment that uses an injected chemical to destroy the vein. The chemical irritates the vein wall so it collapses and becomes scar tissue. The body’s natural function of eliminating excess tissue gradually removes the damaged vein. It will not grow back, but other veins could become weak if you don’t find the cause of your venous insufficiency. For larger varicose veins, the chemical is whipped into a foam before it is injected into the vein. Foam moves easier throughout the vein than liquid. Sclerotherapy is minimally invasive and done in our office. The procedure takes a mere matter of minutes, exact length depending on the number of veins being treated.
Am I a Good Candidate for Large Vein Therapy?
Anyone looking to rid themselves of any unwanted large veins may well be eligible for this therapy. It is also important to remember that ideal candidates harbor realistic expectations in terms of what this treatment can accomplish.

Thought about you in Hawaii

I can walk to my mail box again
by John Neumann, patient
Category: reviews“I had problems walking to my mail box when I went to Pacific Vein Care. Dr. Conti found I had vein reflux and artery problems in both of my legs. He did his normal vein procedure on one leg and a special procedure at the hospital on the other leg and corrected the artery problems at the same time. I am very happy with the results from the procedures done at Pacific Vein Care to correct both my veins and artery problems. I can walk to my mail box again and not have to stop and rest part way there.”
I am pleased to say my quality of life is back
by Barbara Hoffman, patient
Category: reviews“For thirty Years I have put up with leg pain, throbbing and swelling due to varicose veins. At 63 years old, I made a choice to have Radiofrequency Ablation therapy and I am pleased to say my quality of life is back. I can now take long walks, exercise and stand for long period of time without discomfort. I recently purchased a pair of tall stylish boots and I can actually zip them up because I no longer suffer from edema.”
The procedures were not hard to go through and the result was a tremendous relief.
by Wayne, patient
Category: reviews“I recently – April/May of 2012 – had VNUS procedures done on my right and left legs. Dr. Conti and his staff were superb in the diagnosis and treatment of my condition. The process was fully explained to me and were virtually pain free. There was some discomfort in the week or two after the procedures which were easily handled by over the counter pain medications. I was impressed with Dr. Conti’s knowledge and professionalism and would recommend anyone waiting to treat their varicose veins NOT to wait. The procedures were not hard to go through and the result was a tremendous relief.”
