No More Daily Swelling, and No More Elevating Her Legs
For Nicole K., swelling, pain, and discomfort in her legs had become part of her daily routine. By the end of each day, she felt like she had no choice but to lie down and elevate her legs just to get relief.
She came to United Vein & Vascular Centers in Downers Grove, where she underwent VenaSeal™ treatment to address the underlying vein issues causing her symptoms.
Since her procedure, Nicole has experienced reduced swelling in her lower legs and a significant decrease in tenderness and discomfort. Her legs feel noticeably more comfortable, and she no longer needs to elevate them at the end of the day for relief.
Nicole described the team as kind and friendly, noting that scheduling was easy and that staff members were patient in answering her questions and easing her concerns. Although she was initially hesitant to start the VenaSeal™ process, she’s glad she moved forward and began seeing improvements within just a few weeks. She also shared high praise for Dr. Sebai and the entire staff.
For anyone unsure about seeking treatment, Nicole believes it’s worth getting checked out. She emphasized that vein problems typically don’t resolve on their own and appreciated that UVVC is well-run and specialized in these procedures.
