Dr. Gabriel Youssef was amazing along with all the assisting staff in the Schaumburg Perimeter Dr location. I’m 67 and suffered with hideous unsightly varicose veins. During my first visit, Beatta, the ultra sound tech, performed a comprehensive test of my deep veins and all secondary (varicose) veins that would need to be closed. After a consult with Dr Youssef, we schedule three ablations and three injection appointments to close off all the unnecessary secondary veins. The longest appointment was 25 minutes and there was very little pain for any of the procedures. The best part for me was that I started the removal process in the middle of training to run a 1/2 marathon! Nothing I had done interfered with my training - in fact it improved the efficiency of my return flow to my heart - so much so that I improved my previous PR by 11 minutes! I highly recommend Dr Youssef and his staff at Vein Clinics of America. I understand as of October there are some changes happening with the ownership VCA, but hopefully the new systems of scheduling and billing will remain as excellent for future patients as the positive experience I had.

There is usually little to no downtime associated with treatment. Treatments are typically completed within an hour and most people return to normal activities the same day since hospitalization is not part of normal treatment.

USA Vein Clinics | Jun 5, 2022

We recommend moving around and resuming normal activities after treatment. Depending on the treatment, you will be prescribed compression stockings. Be sure to take your medications as instructed by your provider to help with any discomfort. You may expect bruising after treatment – this typically lasts for about three weeks.

What might prevent me from receiving treatment?

USA Vein Clinics | Jun 5, 2022
USA Vein Clinics | Jun 5, 2022

"You cannot usually receive vein disease treatment during pregnancy. If you are breastfeeding you may receive treatment after certain precautions are taken. Compression stockings are frequently recommended during pregnancy, and we can provide follow up after the child is born. Your provider can discuss the options with you if you have any health conditions which may preclude you from receiving treatment. Please consult with your physician regarding your specific situation."

Are the treatments or surgeries painful? Are they safe?

USA Vein Clinics | Jun 5, 2022
USA Vein Clinics | Jun 5, 2022

"Everyone’s pain tolerance is different. Our providers frequently assess your level of pain throughout the procedure to make sure you are as comfortable as possible. While varicose vein treatment involves minimally invasive procedures with a high success rate and low risk of complications, there are always risks associated with any medical procedure. Be sure to share your medical history, allergies, and all medications, including supplements or vitamins, you take and ask your provider about possible complications or side effects of treatment."

How should I prepare for vein treatment?

Do not skip any meals prior to your treatment and consider bringing a snack with you on the day of treatment. Drink plenty of fluids. Take your medications as prescribed. Bring comfortable shorts. Bring your compression stockings. Feel free to bring a mobile device/earphones to listen to music or read during the treatment.

How does Endovenous Laser or Radiofrequency Treatment actually work?

USA Vein Clinics | Jun 5, 2022
USA Vein Clinics | Jun 5, 2022

Our expert physicians will insert a small fiber into the unhealthy vein using ultrasound guidance. Consistent and uniform heat is delivered to contract collagen in the vein walls, causing them to collapse and close, thus redirecting the blood to healthy veins. The entire procedure takes less than an hour, and the recovery is rapid.

What treatments can I do at home to prevent vein disease?

USA Vein Clinics | Jun 5, 2022

There are no home remedies for treating vein disease but you can help ease uncomfortable symptoms by wearing compression stockings and elevating your legs.
