Dr. Lowell Kabnick of New Jersey Vein Center, one of the best vein doctors in New Jersey, knows that varicose veins can keep patients from doing what they usually love to do.

Varicose veins are unsightly and often are accompanied by swollen legs and ankles, and the combination can lead people to prefer to stay home instead of going out and walking, dancing, or even wearing short pants or skirts. Sometimes, while patients think that vein disease is both uncomfortable and ugly, they hope it is just a cosmetic problem, or that it will go away on its own. However, it won’t go away on its own. In fact, without treatment, varicose veins will only get worse with time. What’s more, left untreated, varicose veins can have some rather serious medical consequences, such as leg ulcers or even deep vein thrombosis (blood clots). That’s why it’s so important that to seek prompt New Jersey vein disease treatment instead of waiting. The good news is that these days, treatment is quick, easy and effective.

How can Dr. Kabnick help me get back out there?
The first and most important step to getting back to doing the things you love is a venous health examination by Dr. Kabnick and his friendly staff. This exam includes an interview about your personal and family medical history, because heredity plays a big role in whether or not you will get vein disease and how extensive it might become. Then he will examine your legs, possibly with the help of painless duplex ultrasound, which allows him to “see” the veins deep beneath the surface of the skin. Ultrasound is a major advance over previous decades, because sometimes diseased veins can be missed and not treated, and then those varicose veins could come right back again after the treatment. After the venous health exam, you and Dr. Kabnick will discuss your best minimally invasive treatment options, which might include sclerotherapy, microphlebectomy, or endovenous ablation with laser or radiofrequency energy.

No matter your choice, it will be performed on an outpatient basis, with no need to go to a hospital or suffer a long recovery period. In fact, you’ll be in and out of our comfortable clinic and back at your usual activities the very same day. So there’s no reason for you to continue to avoid doing the things you love, while also risking some pretty serious health consequences by not treating those varicose veins.

Just give us a call at 973-538-2000 and set up an appointment for a venous health examination. We’ll take it from there!
