Visual Sclerotherapy at VIR Chicago
If you’re struggling with spider veins or smaller varicose veins, Visual Sclerotherapy is one of the most effective, non-invasive treatments available. At VIR Chicago, our expert team of board-certified interventional radiologists and advanced practice providers offer this simple yet powerful solution to help restore the natural beauty and health of your legs.
What is Visual Sclerotherapy?
Visual Sclerotherapy is a specialized vein treatment that targets small, visible veins close to the surface of the skin. A sclerosing agent is injected directly into the affected veins, causing them to collapse and gradually fade over time. Unlike ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy, this treatment is performed without imaging technology, making it ideal for treating surface-level veins.
Why Choose Visual Sclerotherapy at VIR Chicago?
When it comes to vein care, experience matters. At VIR Chicago, we take a patient-first approach, ensuring you receive personalized care tailored to your needs. Our Visual Sclerotherapy treatment offers:
- A quick, office-based procedure – No downtime, no anesthesia

What Conditions Can Visual Sclerotherapy Treat?
Visual Sclerotherapy is the go-to treatment for:
- Spider veins – Small, web-like veins that are often red, blue, or purple
- Reticular veins – Larger surface veins that feed into spider veins
- Cosmetic vein concerns – Unwanted veins that affect the appearance of the legs
What to Expect During the Procedure
- Consultation & Assessment – Our specialists at VIR Chicago evaluate your veins and determine the best treatment plan.
- Sclerosing Injection – A fine needle delivers a solution into the targeted veins, causing them to collapse.
- Gradual Fading – Over the following weeks, the treated veins dissolve and disappear as the body naturally absorbs them.
- Follow-up & Additional Sessions – Some patients may require multiple sessions for optimal results.
Aftercare & Recovery
One of the biggest advantages of Visual Sclerotherapy is the minimal recovery time. After treatment, patients can return to daily activities immediately. To maximize results, we recommend:
- Wearing compression stockings for a few days to enhance circulation
- Avoiding prolonged sun exposure on treated areas
- Engaging in light walking to support healing
- Avoiding hot baths or strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours
