To help you get rid of your varicose veins, we at Pacific Vein Care are proud to offer sclerotherapy. Varicose veins can cause a drop in self-esteem due to their appearance. But more than just the look of varicose veins, they can lead to a wide range of health problems. We encourage you to learn more about how our treatment may be able to benefit you.
What Are Varicose Veins?
Varicose veins are large, twisted, bulging veins that can be seen and felt just under the skin. They are caused by a malfunction in the vein. Usually, blood in our veins moves in only one direction. But sometimes the valve that regulates this movement becomes damaged or the vein walls becomes weak. The vein is then unable to keep up the pressure to move your blood, and some of it will flow back or leak, causing the vein to becomes twisted and enlarged, and this is the ultimate cause of a varicose vein.
Beyond being a nuisance when it comes to the look of your skin, varicose veins can cause serious medical conditions, including bleeding, pain, skin ulcers, leg swelling, and even deep vein thrombosis. For both your looks and your health, it’s important that you treat your varicose veins. The best method out there for the removal of varicose veins is sclerotherapy.
The Sclerotherapy Treatment
Once it is determined that you are a good candidate for sclerotherapy, our doctor will determine through ultrasound which varicose veins to target. The solution used in this treatment irritates the lining of the vein, causing it to close and eventually become scar tissue, which will then be healed by your body.
Most people go about their day as normal right after the procedure. Other than avoiding extreme exercise, all you have to do for recovery is wear a compression stocking for about two to three weeks.
Your varicose veins can be a thing of the past with sclerotherapy at Pacific Vein Care! You’ll no longer have to worry about any health issues that are associated with varicose veins. We are conveniently located in McHenry, IL. Contact us today to schedule your consultation!

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.”
