May 19th, 2014. Morristown, NJ. NJ vein doctor Lowell S. Kabnick is publishing an article describing just who is at risk for vein disease. According to the Morristown, NJ based physician, two of the most important contributors are age and heredity. Dr. Kabnick explains, “About 50% of people over age 50 have some form of vein disease. People who have a family history of venous disease (a mother or aunt who had varicose veins, for example) are also at increased risk. However, there are also lifestyle factors that play a significant role in the development of venous disease, such as being overweight and or standing for extended periods of time.” Dr. Kabnick notes that with lifestyle modifications, venous disease can sometimes be prevented or slowed from progressing. “A visit to a Morristown vein expert,” he says, “is the best way to learn about your risk and strategies for preventing the development of venous disease.” Dr. Kabnick, noted NJ vascular doctor, hopes that by publishing articles such as this one, patients will better understand the nature of vein disease and their individual risk of developing vein problems.

Varicose Vein Treatment Options
Up to 30 million people in the United States suffer from spider veins and varicose veins, which means they are quite a common affliction. Women tend have vein problems more often than men; however both genders are affected. Varicose veins are large, twisting, blue or red veins that stand out or bulge from the surface of the skin, while spider veins are smaller, web-like veins that may look reddish and tangled. Fortunately, a number of safe, minimally invasive and highly effective vein treatments are now available. They include radiofrequency ablation, microphlebectomy, and sclerotherapy, among others. These techniques help restore the health and beauty of the legs by eliminating or removing varicose veins and spider veins, with a minimum of pain, scarring and recovery time.
