Walking Faster, Feeling Lighter, and Moving With Confidence Again
For Renee K., vein symptoms had gradually become impossible to ignore. Her legs felt heavy and swollen, and the appearance of bulging, roping veins along her legs continued to worsen. What started as a visual concern soon affected how she moved through the world. Walking felt slow and difficult, and she noticed people passing her even when she felt like she was moving at a normal pace.
Renee came to United Vein & Vascular Centers at the Downers Grove location, where she underwent a combination of sclerotherapy and vein ablation. She appreciated that the doctor explained every step along the way, clearly describing what was being done during each treatment.
Following care, Renee noticed meaningful improvements. The heaviness in her legs has been greatly reduced, swelling in the lower legs has gone down significantly, and the appearance of her veins is much better, even as she continues healing. One of the biggest surprises was how naturally her walking improved. She now walks faster without thinking about it, something she hadn’t realized was missing until it returned.
The benefits extended beyond walking speed. Renee shared that her balance has improved as well, an especially meaningful change as she approaches her 71st birthday. She clearly feels more stable and confident on her feet, making daily movement feel easier and safer.
She describes her experience with Dr. Sebai and the Downers Grove team as outstanding. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and Dr. Sebai was knowledgeable, communicative, and reassuring. Treatments were quick, often just 10 to 15 minutes, with little to no discomfort. In many cases, she says she barely felt anything at all.
Renee has undergone vein treatment in the past, years ago, and says it doesn’t compare to the experience she had here. The professionalism, efficiency, and results stood out in every way. Her advice to anyone who’s unsure is simple: come here. She confidently recommends the Downers Grove location and says she’s truly happy she chose UVVC for her care.
