Varicose Vein Center in Arlington Heights, IL

Varicose Vein Treatments We Offer Serving Arlington Heights

Shapiro Vein Center offers a focused menu of minimally invasive, office-based procedures. Each treatment is selected after a diagnostic ultrasound evaluation and tailored to the patient's specific vein anatomy, symptoms, and lifestyle. All procedures are outpatient with minimal downtime, so most patients can return to normal activity within one to two days.

Treatments available include:

  ▸ Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA): An FDA-approved laser fiber is guided into the damaged vein under ultrasound, sealing it shut with targeted            heat energy.

   ▸ Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): Uses the FDA-cleared VNUS ClosureFAST catheter to deliver radiofrequency heat that closes the vein and                         redirects blood to healthy vessels.

   ▸ VenaSeal: A medical-grade adhesive is delivered into the faulty vein to seal it without heat or needles along the vein.

   ▸ Varithena (Polidocanol Injectable Foam): An FDA-approved foam injected under ultrasound guidance that collapses and seals abnormal veins,                sometimes in a single session.

   ▸ Ultrasound-Guided Sclerotherapy: A sclerosant solution is injected precisely into affected veins using real-time imaging for accurate, targeted             results.

Does Insurance Cover Varicose Vein Treatment?

Insurance often covers varicose vein treatment when it is medically necessary. When varicose veins cause documented symptoms such as pain, swelling, heaviness, or skin changes, most major insurance plans, including Medicare, may cover procedures like EVLA, RFA, and sclerotherapy. Cosmetic-only treatment is typically not covered.

Shapiro Vein Center contracts with a wide range of insurance providers and assists patients with verification from the start. Visit the insurance information page for plan details, or call the office directly. Medicare patients should confirm individual procedure coverage with their plan, as coverage rules can vary by treatment type.
