Dr. Lowell Kabnick, one of the best vein doctors in New Jersey, knows that many people think that varicose veins are simply a cosmetic problem, or that they could go away on their own with time. In fact, varicose veins won’t go away on their own, and they could even be your weakest link in an otherwise healthy life. At our New Jersey vein disease treatment center, we see patients who are highly successful and are usually quite active in their community, but who have become “home bodies” since the development of varicose veins.

Not only are they unsightly, but varicose veins often carry with them some annoying symptoms, such as swelling, aching, and a heavy feeling in the legs. This, combined with feeling like their legs are unattractive, can lead people to stay home instead of getting out there and dancing, swimming, or even just wearing short pants or skirts. Over time, this can really bring otherwise happy people down. What’s more, leaving varicose veins untreated can lead to some serious medical consequences, such as leg ulcers, which are painful and difficult to treat, or deep vein thrombosis (blood clots), which can be deadly. Clots can move through the circulatory system to the heart, lungs, or brain and cause an embolism.

How can New Jersey vein disease treatment help me get my life and my legs back?
Fortunately, modern vein disease treatments are quick, effective, and minimally invasive, which means they involve only a needle stick or tiny incisions that heal with little to no scarring. In the old days, people had to set aside time to go to a hospital for treatment, and then spend time recovering, and back then there was a much greater chance that those varicose veins would just come back! All that has changed.

We offer endovenous ablation with radiofrequency energy or lasers, microphlebectomy and sclerotherapy, all tested and highly effective means for restoring the health and beauty of your legs, and getting you back out there at all your usual activities. The first step to determining which treatment is right for you is to make an appointment for a venous health screening, which is painless and takes about an hour. At this appointment we’ll interview you about your personal and family health and examine your legs, possibly with ultrasound, which allows us to “see” the veins deep under the skin.

This last step helps ensure that all the veins that need treatment get treatment, which greatly reduces the chance that varicose veins will bother you again in the future. So don’t let varicose veins be your weakest link: just give us a call at 973-538-2000 and set up that initial appointment. We look forward to meeting you.
