VARICOSE VEIN TREATMENT IN PARK RIDGE, IL

Minimally Invasive Treatment for Painful or Progressive Varicose Veins

Varicose vein disease is progressive. Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) may be present even before large veins are visible.

Early symptoms can include aching, throbbing pain, heaviness, swelling, itching, subtle skin discoloration, or clusters of spider veins near the ankles or inner thighs. When venous reflux persists, symptoms typically worsen over time.

When medically indicated, modern minimally invasive varicose vein treatment can address the underlying source of reflux before symptoms continue to advance.

At International Vein & Skin Institute, all evaluations and procedures are personally performed by Dr. Jozef Tryzno, MD, RVT, DABVLM, a board-certified physician with more than 25 years of focused experience in venous disease.

SYMPTOMS OF VENOUS INSUFFICIENCY

Varicose veins are most commonly caused by chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), a condition in which vein valves fail and blood flows backward in the legs.

Symptoms may include:

Aching or throbbing leg pain
Heaviness or fatigue in the legs
Swelling, especially later in the day
Bulging or enlarging veins
Skin discoloration near the ankles
Night cramps

Because venous disease develops beneath the surface, accurate diagnosis requires venous ultrasound evaluation, not visual inspection alone.

TREATMENT FOLLOWS DIAGNOSIS

Treatment is recommended only after:

Careful symptom review
Physical examination
In-office venous ultrasound performed by Dr. Tryzno

Not all varicose veins require procedural treatment. When reflux is confirmed and symptoms justify intervention, therapy is directed at the underlying source of venous reflux rather than only visible veins.

Addressing reflux in a timely manner may help reduce symptom progression and recurrence.

VARICOSE VEIN TREATMENT OPTIONS

When medically indicated, treatment may include the following minimally invasive procedures performed in our clinic.

Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA)

EVLA treats incompetent saphenous veins that contribute to varicose vein formation.
Using ultrasound guidance, a thin laser fiber is placed inside the affected vein. Controlled energy seals the vein closed so blood flow is redirected to healthier veins.

EVLA is:

Minimally invasive
Performed in-office
Completed under local anesthesia
Designed to address the underlying cause of reflux

Percutaneous Ablation of Perforating Veins (PAP)

When abnormal perforator veins contribute to persistent symptoms or advanced venous disease, PAP may be recommended.

Targeted laser energy is delivered under ultrasound guidance through a small skin puncture to close the abnormal connection between the superficial and deep venous systems.

Ultrasound-Guided Sclerotherapy (LIQUID & FOAM)

Sclerotherapy treats refluxing or abnormal veins not suitable for laser ablation.

A medical solution is injected into the vein under ultrasound guidance, causing the treated vein to collapse and gradually be absorbed by the body.

Depending on vein size and anatomy, treatment may use:

Liquid sclerosant
Physician-prepared foam
Commercially prepared microfoam

COSMETIC SCLEROTHERAPY FOR SPIDER VEINS

Compression sclerotherapy treats spider veins and reticular (blue) veins on the legs.

A medical solution is injected into small surface veins followed by compression to support vein closure and gradual fading.

When underlying venous insufficiency is present, deeper reflux is typically treated first before cosmetic refinement.

IN-OFFICE CARE & RECOVERY

All procedures are performed in our Park Ridge clinic.

Local anesthesia only
No hospital admission
Most patients resume normal daily activities quickly

Recovery recommendations vary depending on the procedure and individual clinical factors.

INSURANCE & TREATMENT PLANNING

Many varicose vein treatments are considered medically necessary when symptoms and ultrasound findings meet established clinical criteria.

Insurance coverage, treatment staging, and recommendations are reviewed during your evaluation so expectations are clear before treatment begins.

Transparent self-pay options are available for patients without insurance coverage or with high deductibles.

WHY PHYSICIAN EXPERIENCE MATTERS

Ultrasound-guided procedures such as EVLA and ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy are technically demanding.

Accurate vein access, precise delivery of laser energy or sclerosant, and real-time interpretation of ultrasound imaging require advanced training and experience.

The safety and effectiveness of these procedures depend heavily on the skill and judgment of the physician performing them.
