What Is Laser Vein Removal?
Commonly found on the legs and face, spider veins are small, branching blood vessels that are visible through the skin. Caused by many factors, like age and genetics, spider veins can be red, purple, or blue, which makes them difficult to hide. As these veins tend to become more prominent as you get older, it's advisable to seek treatment when they first appear. To decrease the visibility of veins on the face and body, Iteld Plastic Surgery in Chicago, IL performs nonsurgical laser vein removal for patients using our office's advanced Alma Veil™ system. At your initial consultation, our team will suggest a personalized plan based on your needs and goals for your laser vein reduction treatment.
How Does Laser Vein Removal Work?
Laser vein treatments are performed in-house at our Chicago, IL office and usually take around 20 – 40 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas being treated. For your laser vein session, you will lie comfortably in one of our treatment rooms as the skin is cleaned. Before starting your procedure, we'll apply a local numbing cream to reduce any potential discomfort. The Alma Veil handpiece will be passed across the treatment area so the energy can reach the spider veins through a series of pulses without affecting the skin. The blood vessel will absorb the energy of the laser, which collapses the walls of the veins. You will be able to leave our office right after the treatment to resume your normal day. As a side benefit, Alma Veil treatments also stimulate collagen production, giving your skin a smoother, radiant look over time. Most patients require 4 – 6 sessions to see the full results of their treatment, but your situation may vary. During your initial consultation at Iteld Plastic Surgery, we'll discuss what you can expect throughout the process and how many appointments may be necessary.

Iteld Plastic Surgery Reviews
Wonderful team - could not be happier with the results - I had a great experience. Dr. Iteld and his team treated me with respect, were compassionate towards my concerns, and were very thorough in their explanations of what to expect and the step by step process for preparing and recovering from surgery. Staff offered after hours support for any concerns that may have arisen post surgery (thankfully I’ve had none) and treated me very well. I could not be happier with the results of my surgery and the care provided by Dr. Iteld and his team. Dr. Iteld and his team were very inclusive towards the lgbtq+ community, always using my preferred name and pronouns and has performed many of these surgeries. Queer folks looking for gender affirming surgery are in good hands here.
I recently underwent a breast reduction surgery, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! Dr. Itedl, Kimmy, and the receptionist Ashley were incredibly professional, guiding me through every step and addressing all of my concerns. The surgery itself went smoothly, and the recovery process was much easier than I anticipated. I’m 5’3 and 120lbs with an original cup size of a G. Dr. Itedl nailed the shape and areola size of my breast to match perfectly to my frame. One of the biggest benefits has been the relief from upper back, neck, and lower back pain, which was the main reason I opted for the procedure. The results look so natural, and the scars are already starting to fade. If you’re considering breast reduction surgery, I highly recommend it. It has been truly life-changing for me. The outcome has been everything I hoped for and more!
Kimmy is a phenomenal injector and is extremely knowledgeable about PRF/EZ Gel, energy based treatments, scarring, and her insight and education about facial anatomy, the aging process, and treating general cosmetic concerns for various ethnic skin types is extensive and surpasses any other injector I’ve encountered before. She is warm, patient, very empathetic, and I always feel fully heard and cared for during my appointments. She is so friendly, dedicated and passionate about what she does, and she truly shines in her role. Iteld Plastic Surgery (and her patients) are so lucky to have her! She’s a true gem! Keep up the good work!
I have made an appointment for a consultation with Dr. Iteld. First, as most should know, liposuction is NOT for weight loss, but "body conturing", though after a procedure, "minimal" weight loss may occur. Secondly, it is important that good research should be done BEFORE considering this procedure. DO NOT SETTLE for just anyone. Dr. Iteld is a highly accredited plastic surgeon. Even before making my appointment, I was extremely impressed by the patient, kind, informative and professional attention from one of his staff members. Rarely does one find such people these days. So, whether I am a candidate for this procedure or not, and especially as a retired medical professional, myself, I can honestly say, I KNOW I chose the right professional and staff, who are in a beautiful setting with plenty of parking. Good luck to all who are interested in an appropriate surgeon and procedure !
I had an incredible experience at Iteld Plastic Surgery, thanks to Kimmy! She took so much time with me, ensuring that I felt comfortable and understood every step of the process. Her attention to detail is unmatched—she’s meticulous and thorough, making me feel confident and ready for my wedding day. On top of that, Kimmy is soooo sweet and a pleasure to be around! I can’t recommend her and the office enough!
