At the Midwest Vein Centers, we take pride in offering a full range of all scientifically tested, medically approved treatment options. Unlike most other vein-care centers, we are not limited to just one or two treatment options. Because we have all available tools in our toolbox, we feel that we are the best choice for your vein-care needs.
We also take pride in staying up-to-date with the latest developments in vein-care. Our physicians and nurses attend and participate in many scientific medical meetings each year, and are regular contributors to the medical literature.
At the Midwest Vein Centers, we are passionately committed to providing you with the least invasive yet scientifically tested, medically approved treatment options for achieving long-term relief from your vein problems. Some of the treatment options we offer include
In 1996 the Midwest Vein Center became the first phlebology practice in Illinois to offer PhotoDerm. Today, it is still used at the center to treat spider veins of the legs and face, birthmarks and other pigmented vascular lesions on the face. PhotoDerm technology takes advantage of Selective PhotoThermolysis to specifically target certain tissues with Intense Pulsed Light (IPL). Read more about

Ambulatory phlebectomy micro-extraction is a minor surgical procedure which allows for the removal of large surface varicosities through very small incisions that need no stitches. The procedure is normally done in the office at the Midwest Vein Center using a local anesthetic. Read more about

Microsclerotherapy is a technique which was developed in the 1950s and 60s to treat spider veins. It evolved out of doctor’s experience with Compression Sclerotherapy, with which is shares many similarities. It involves the use of an extremely fine needle to inject a tiny amount of a dilute solution (sclerosant) directly into the spider veins. The solution causes the lining of the vein to swell, eventually sealing off the blood vessels and preventing blood flow. At the Midwest Vein Centers, we use sodium tetradecyl as our sclerosant of choice because it is painless and effective. Read more about

The ELVS procedure is a relatively new method used to treat varicose veins that are caused by broken valves in the Greater Saphenous Vein. Approximately 30% of patients with varicose veins have this situation. The traditional way to treat this situation is with a vein stripping. The ELVS procedure has basically replaced the vein stripping procedure and has (in Dr. Wright’s opinion) made vein stripping an antiquated procedure. Read more about
