Because they&#8217;re REALLY good at it! (I know, I know\u2026 that&#8217;s a terrible &#8220;dad joke.&#8221; I can&#8217;t help it. It comes with the territory.)<\/p>\n<p>Why CAN you see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.advdermatology.com\/cosmetic-procedures\/leg-veins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">varicose veins<\/a> on your legs? That, my friend, is no joke. Varicose veins are most often a result of malfunctioning check-valves within the superficial venous system in one&#8217;s legs. It is both a common problem (millions of Americans suffer from superficial venous insufficiency) and a very treatable problem due to advances in minimally-invasive techniques over the past few decades.<\/p>\n<p>Superficial venous insufficiency, the underlying cause of most varicose veins and many spider veins, can be diagnosed and treated right here in the office. During your consultation, I spend approximately 30 minutes getting to know: your medical history, symptoms (most often including heaviness, fatigue, cramps, restless legs, and swelling), and if necessary, perform a diagnostic ultrasound to determine if your check-valves are functioning properly. I also spend the time to teach you about superficial vein function and malfunction. We&#8217;ll spend some time talking about a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. I&#8217;ll happily answer any and every question you may have regarding your issues and the state-of-the-art treatments I routinely perform. Many of these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.advdermatology.com\/cosmetic-procedures\/leg-veins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">treatments<\/a> may be coverable by insurance. There is no downtime, few restrictions, and you can resume most routine activities immediately after treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Winter is the PERFECT time to come in for a consultation appointment. Fortunately, and unfortunately, the winters in Chicagoland give us plenty of time to take care of your chronic varicose and spider veins before the next &#8220;shorts season.&#8221; I look forward to meeting you and helping your legs feel and look better than they have in years. And, I<br \/>\npromise no dad jokes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.advdermatology.com\/request-appointment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Request a Leg Vein consultation<\/a> or call\/text us at 847.459.6400 to learn more about leg vein treatments!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why can&#8217;t you see elephants hiding in trees?
