Interested in knowing more about vein laser surgery in NJ? Among all of the new, minimally invasive treatments for varicose veins, laser ablation is one of the most popular and safe. The VenaCure EVLTTM procedure is an outpatient, office-based procedure that eliminates varicose veins in a matter of minutes.

What do Morris County residents need to know about laser ablation?
Laser Ablation is an alternative procedure to vein stripping or radio-frequency ablation. A very thin laser fiber is inserted into the diseased vein and a laser light is emitted. In about three minutes, the vein is heated and sealed shut, and the fiber is withdrawn. The procedure only requires local anesthetics, which means you’ll be up and on your way quickly. You might experience some minor swelling, bruising or tenderness in the area, but this is normal and can be treated with over-the counter pain relievers. All side effects are typically gone within 5 days. Your Morristown vein specialist, Dr. Lowell S. Kabnick, will advise you to wear compression stockings until your follow-up appointment, to ensure the vein stays shut and to help with the reshaping of your leg.

How do I know if NJ vein laser surgery is right for me?
The first step is to set up an appointment at Dr. Kabnick’s Morristown vein clinic as soon as possible. We’ll provide you with a professional venous health evaluation, including a painless Doppler ultrasound examination, to visualize the veins deep beneath the skin. We’ll also do a visual examination and take a thorough medical history. This history is important because your age and family history of vein disease can be important contributors to your likelihood of having vein disease. Armed with all of this information, you and Dr. Kabnick will work together to choose a treatment plan that suits your schedule, your medical condition, and your aesthetic objectives. The examination and medical history are also important because Dr. Kabnick cares about more than just removing your varicose veins now, but also about preventing them from recurring in the future. Based on the results of your examination, Dr. Kabnick will be able to provide strategies for lifestyle changes and non-invasive approaches to keeping varicose veins from bothering you in the future. All of our procedures are minimally invasive and office-based, meaning there will be no need to go to a hospital or experience lengthy recovery times. However, we have a variety of procedures to choose from, including sclerotherapy, microphlebectomy, radio frequency ablation, VeinwaveTM and more, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. That’s why it’s important to look at them all together and decide on the best approach for your personal situation. We can schedule your venous health evaluation over the phone.
