Vein Clinic in Gurnee, IL
Heavy legs by the end of the day, ankle swelling, aching calves, or veins that bulge or change color can make everyday routines harder. These symptoms may be associated with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), a condition in which faulty valves in the leg veins allow blood to pool instead of flowing back toward the heart.
Since 2005, USA Vein Clinics has provided vein care to patients in the Gurnee area. Our team brings over 20 years of experience to each evaluation. Our Gurnee clinic evaluates the underlying vein disease that can contribute to these symptoms, then discusses non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment options that may be appropriate for you based on your evaluation.
Vein Conditions We Evaluate in Gurnee
Patients in Gurnee and surrounding Lake County communities come to us with a range of vein concerns. Our evaluation looks at both the visible signs and what is happening inside the veins.
- Varicose Veins: Enlarged, twisted veins that may cause aching, heaviness, or a feeling of fullness in the legs.
- Spider Veins: Small red, blue, or purple surface veins that can sometimes be connected to underlying vein disease.
- Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI): Venous reflux that may contribute to swelling, skin changes, and leg discomfort over time.
- Leg Swelling: Fluid buildup around the ankles and calves that may worsen during the day.
- Venous Skin Changes and Leg Ulcers: Skin irritation, discoloration, or slow-healing wounds near the ankles may be associated with venous disease.
Leg symptoms do not always come from vein disease. A specialist can help determine whether your symptoms are connected to the veins or to another cause.
What to Expect at Your Gurnee Consultation
Your first visit focuses on understanding your symptoms and whether vein disease may be involved.
1. Consultation
You will meet with a member of our medical team to discuss your symptoms, medical history, daily routine, and goals.
2. Duplex Ultrasound Vein Mapping
A non-invasive duplex ultrasound examines blood flow in your veins and can show where valves may not be working properly.
3. Personalized Plan
Your provider reviews the results with you and discusses whether non-surgical treatment may be appropriate. Treatment decisions depend on your evaluation.
Non-Surgical Vein Treatments Available in Gurnee
Surgical vein stripping is not the standard approach for most patients today. Our Gurnee clinic offers the following outpatient options. Your provider will recommend treatment based on your evaluation. Procedures are usually completed in under 30 minutes.
- Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT): Uses laser energy delivered through a thin fiber, guided by ultrasound, to close diseased veins.
- Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): Uses radiofrequency heat to close the vein wall so blood can flow through healthier veins.
- Varithena Vein Treatment: An FDA-approved microfoam treatment for twisted varicose veins.
- ClariVein®: Combines mechanical agitation with a liquid sclerosant to treat diseased veins without thermal energy.
- VenaSeal™ Treatment: Uses a medical adhesive to close malfunctioning veins.
- Ultrasound-Guided Sclerotherapy: Places a sclerosing medication into deeper branch veins under ultrasound guidance.
- Visual Sclerotherapy: Treats visible surface spider veins.
Results vary, and treatment candidacy is determined at your evaluation. Ask your provider about the benefits, risks, and expected recovery for your situation.
