Understanding Spider Veins and Varicose Veins
Spider veins are small, thin red, blue, or purple veins that appear close to the surface of the skin. They often form on the legs or face and are usually cosmetic, though they can sometimes cause mild discomfort.
Varicose veins, on the other hand, are larger, bulging veins that may cause aching, heaviness, or swelling. Left untreated, varicose veins can worsen over time and impact your comfort.
Both conditions are common and can have a number of causes, but you don’t have to live with them. Modern vein removal techniques make treatment easier and more comfortable than ever before.
Advanced Options for Varicose Vein Removal in Schaumburg
At our practice, we use advanced technology to treat visible veins with precision. Our options for vein removal include:
Laser Spider Vein Removal
Laser vein removal delivers focused light energy to collapse spider veins safely, allowing them to fade naturally.
Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT)
Endovenous laser therapy is a minimally invasive treatment for varicose veins that uses laser energy to close off problem veins.
Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is an injectable solution that seals off veins, causing them to fade over time.
During your initial consultation, Dr. Ashpole will examine your veins and determine the right treatment plan for your needs, whether that means laser technology, injections, or a combination of approaches.

What to Expect During Treatment
The exact treatment process will depend on whether you’re treating spider veins or varicose veins, but here’s a general idea of what you can expect from treatment:
Consultation
Your journey begins with a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Ashpole. This visit is more than a quick exam—it’s your chance to share what bothers you about your veins and to learn about the treatment options available. Dr. Ashpole will review your health history, evaluate the areas you’d like to treat, and explain whether laser vein removal, sclerotherapy, or endovenous therapy is best suited to your needs. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of the process and what kind of results you can expect.
The Procedure
On the day of treatment, our focus is on keeping you comfortable while targeting the problem veins. For laser spider vein removal, a specialized device directs light energy precisely into the vein, causing it to collapse and gradually fade from view. If you’re treating larger varicose veins, endovenous laser therapy or sclerotherapy may be recommended instead. These techniques are minimally invasive and performed right in our accredited office. Most sessions last less than an hour, though larger or multiple veins may take longer.
Recovery
After treatment, most patients are pleasantly surprised at how quickly they can return to their normal activities. You may notice some temporary redness, mild swelling, or slight bruising, but these effects typically resolve within days. Compression stockings may be recommended for certain treatments to encourage proper healing and circulation. Over the following weeks, the treated veins fade, leaving your skin looking clearer and healthier. Many patients tell us their only regret is not having the procedure done sooner.
Because these treatments close off the targeted veins, your body naturally reroutes blood to healthier vessels. Over the following weeks, the treated veins fade or disappear entirely.
Benefits of Spider and Varicose Vein Removal
Removing problem veins offers both cosmetic and health-related benefits:
- Smoother, clearer skin appearance.
- Relief from aching, swelling, or heaviness caused by varicose veins.
- Long-term results with advanced laser techniques.
- Improved confidence in shorts, dresses, or swimwear.
Many patients describe their vein treatments as life-changing, giving them the freedom to enjoy their appearance without worry.
