Minimally Invasive Vein Treatments: A Painless Solution for Your Varicose Veins

If you’re one of the millions of individuals struggling with varicose veins, you understand the discomfort and self-consciousness they can bring. However, advancements in medical technology have revolutionized vein treatments, offering solutions that are both effective and minimally invasive. At New Jersey Vein Treatment, we specialize in providing state-of-the-art minimally invasive treatments for varicose veins and spider veins, ensuring our patients receive top-notch care with minimal discomfort and downtime.
Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that typically appear blue or purple and often bulge from the surface of the skin. They commonly occur in the legs and feet and can cause symptoms such as pain, swelling, itching, and aching legs. Varicose veins develop when the valves in the veins weaken or become damaged, causing blood to pool and veins to stretch and bulge. While they can be unsightly and uncomfortable, varicose veins are not just a cosmetic concern; they can also lead to more serious health issues if left untreated.
New Jersey Vein Treatment is led by board-certified vein doctors who carefully diagnose and treat the root cause of your vein problems. We don’t just address the symptoms — we identify and treat underlying chronic venous insufficiency. Our comprehensive approach to vein treatments allows us to reduce the risk of recurrence, ensuring safe, lasting results. Please schedule an appointment at your nearest medical center for vein treatment in New Jersey.
The Importance of Minimally Invasive Treatments
Traditionally, treating varicose veins required invasive procedures such as vein stripping, which involved removing the affected vein through surgical incisions. These procedures often required general anesthesia, prolonged recovery times, and carried a higher risk of complications. However, thanks to advancements in medical technology, minimally invasive treatments have become the preferred option for addressing varicose veins. These procedures offer several advantages over traditional surgery, including:
- Minimal Discomfort: Minimally invasive treatments are performed using small incisions or injections, resulting in less pain and discomfort during and after the procedure.
- Faster Recovery: With minimally invasive treatments, patients can typically resume their normal activities much sooner compared to traditional surgery.
- Reduced Risk of Complications: Minimally invasive procedures carry a lower risk of complications such as infection and scarring.
- Improved Cosmetic Results: Minimally invasive treatments often result in less noticeable scarring and better cosmetic outcomes compared to traditional surgery.
Our Approach at New Jersey Vein Treatment

Our board-certified vein doctors are highly skilled in the latest techniques and technologies, ensuring our patients receive the highest quality care possible. Before recommending a treatment plan, we always begin with a comprehensive evaluation, including a thorough medical history and a duplex ultrasound examination. This allows us to accurately diagnose the underlying cause of your vein issues and tailor a personalized treatment plan to address your specific needs.
Your Minimally Invasive Treatment Options
Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is a highly effective and minimally invasive treatment for spider veins and small varicose veins. During the procedure, a specially formulated sclerosing solution is injected directly into the affected vein using a fine needle. This solution irritates the lining of the vein, causing it to collapse and eventually fade from view. Sclerotherapy is a quick outpatient procedure that typically takes less than 30 minutes to complete. Patients may experience mild discomfort or a slight stinging sensation at the injection site, but this usually subsides quickly. Multiple sessions may be required to achieve optimal results.

Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA)
Endovenous laser ablation, also known as EVLA, is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat larger varicose veins. During the procedure, a small catheter equipped with a laser fiber is inserted into the affected vein under ultrasound guidance. The laser emits high-energy light pulses, which heat and seal the vein from the inside, causing it to collapse and be absorbed by the body over time. EVLA is performed under local anesthesia, and patients can typically resume normal activities immediately afterward. While some patients may experience mild discomfort or bruising, side effects are generally minimal and short-lived.
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is another minimally invasive treatment option for varicose veins. Similar to EVLA, RFA involves inserting a catheter into the affected vein, but instead of laser energy, radiofrequency energy is used to heat and seal the vein shut. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and typically takes less than an hour to complete. RFA offers several advantages, including less post-procedure pain and bruising compared to traditional surgery. Patients can usually resume normal activities within a day or two following treatment, with minimal restrictions. RFA has a low risk of complications.
VenaSeal™
VenaSeal™ is a relatively new minimally invasive treatment for varicose veins that utilizes a medical adhesive to seal the affected vein shut. During the procedure, a small catheter is inserted into the vein, and the VenaSeal™ adhesive is delivered directly into the vein, causing it to collapse and seal. Unlike thermal-based treatments, VenaSeal™ does not require tumescent anesthesia or post-procedure compression stockings, making it a convenient option for many patients. The procedure is typically well-tolerated, with minimal discomfort or downtime.
ClariVein®
ClariVein® is a unique minimally invasive treatment that combines mechanical agitation with sclerosant infusion to treat varicose veins. During the procedure, a rotating wire within a catheter is inserted into the affected vein, where it disperses a sclerosing agent while simultaneously mechanically disrupting the vein wall. This dual-action approach collapses the vein and promotes its closure. ClariVein® is performed under local anesthesia and takes less than an hour to complete. Patients may experience mild discomfort or a sensation of pressure during the procedure, but side effects are generally minimal.
Varithena®
Varithena® is a specialized foam sclerotherapy treatment designed to treat varicose veins caused by vein reflux. During the procedure, a foamed sclerosant solution is injected into the affected vein, displacing the blood and irritating the vein wall, which causes it to collapse and eventually be absorbed by the body. Varithena® is performed in-office and typically takes less than an hour to complete. The procedure is well-tolerated, with minimal discomfort, offers excellent long-term results, and is suitable for large, tortuous varicose veins.
Ambulatory Phlebectomy
Ambulatory phlebectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove larger varicose veins through tiny incisions in the skin. Unlike traditional vein-stripping surgery, ambulatory phlebectomy is performed under local anesthesia and does not require general anesthesia or hospitalization. During the procedure, small incisions are made over the course of the affected vein, and the vein is carefully removed using specialized tools. Ambulatory phlebectomy offers excellent cosmetic results and is often performed in conjunction with other minimally invasive treatments to achieve optimal outcomes.

What are the advantages of minimally invasive vein treatments over traditional surgery?
Minimally invasive vein treatments offer several advantages over traditional surgery, including less discomfort, faster recovery times, reduced risk of complications, and improved cosmetic results. Unlike traditional surgery, which may require general anesthesia and large incisions, minimally invasive treatments are performed using small incisions or injections, resulting in minimal pain and scarring. Patients can typically return to their normal activities immediately.
Are minimally invasive vein treatments suitable for all types of varicose veins?
Minimally invasive vein treatments are highly effective for treating a wide range of varicose veins, including small spider veins and larger varicose veins. However, the specific treatment recommended will depend on factors such as the size, location, and severity of the veins, as well as the patient’s overall health and medical history. During a consultation, our board-certified vein doctors will evaluate your condition and recommend the most appropriate treatment.
Is there any downtime associated with minimally invasive vein treatments?
One of the key benefits of minimally invasive vein treatments is that they typically require minimal downtime. While some patients may experience mild discomfort, bruising, or swelling following the procedure, these side effects are usually temporary and resolve within a few days. Most patients are able to resume their normal activities immediately after treatment, although strenuous exercise and heavy lifting may need to be avoided for a short period.
