Frequently Asked Questions

What is a vein treatment clinic?

A center for vein treatment in New Jersey is a combination of a vein doctor’s office and a medical center. You should visit the vein treatment center if you have spider veins or varicose veins.

What does a vein treatment clinic do?

A center for vein treatment is responsible for the diagnosis and treatment of vascular conditions, such as spider veins, varicose veins, restless leg syndrome, leg ulcers, and deep vein thrombosis.

What to expect at a vein treatment clinic?

Our vein doctors will examine your leg veins, review your medical history, and administer ultrasound tests to determine if your vein problems are caused by underlying vein disease. After diagnosing vein disease, we curate a personalized vein treatment plan just for you.

Here’s Our Assessment of Vein Treatments in New Jersey

Please choose board-certified vein doctors from an IAC-accredited center for vein treatment in New Jersey. Even though vein treatments are simple, they must be performed using the safest techniques by experienced hands. Our vein doctors in New Jersey perform a thorough assessment of your symptoms and curate a personalized treatment plan consisting of minimally invasive procedures. Below, we highlight the 5 factors to consider when looking for a center for vein treatment in New Jersey.

Are You Looking for the Best Vein Treatment in New Jersey? We Can Help!

We have compiled a comprehensive guide providing a detailed overview of the leading spider vein and varicose vein treatment options in New Jersey. We understand that the abundance of vein treatment modalities makes it difficult to choose the right vein treatments. Our vein experts guide you and help you select the ideal vein treatment for your specific needs.

Over the past three decades, modern technologies have helped vein treatments progress by leaps and bounds. No longer are we reliant solely on complex surgeries that require general anesthesia, hospitalization, downtime, and a high risk of complications. Now, our leading vein doctors can treat spider veins and varicose veins using minimally invasive procedures that are largely painless, comfortable, incredibly safe, and involve no downtime. Our comprehensive guide will provide a detailed description of all the available vein treatment options, including their pros and cons, and offer step-by-step instructions to help you choose the right vein treatment clinics in New Jersey.

However, before discussing your vein treatment options, we must explain some basics about spider veins and varicose veins. Healthy leg veins are responsible for carrying blood from the legs to the heart, traveling against the force of gravity (upwards). All leg veins contain flap-like valves that ensure one-way blood flow, resisting the gravitational pull. When your vein valves weaken for various reasons, blood flows backward and accumulates in the leg veins — a phenomenon known as chronic venous insufficiency. Spider veins and varicose veins are formed when the accumulation of blood in leg veins increases the venous pressure, making them swell, bulge, and dilate.

We believe chronic venous insufficiency is the true root cause of spider veins and varicose veins. As such, our vein doctors always diagnose the underlying vein disease to curate the ideal treatment plans for you. We believe the most effective vein treatments focus on the underlying venous insufficiency rather than the visible symptoms.

Your Vein Treatment Options

Endovenous
Ablation

Also known as Ablation, Radiofrequency Ablation, and Laser Ablation
Treats the underlying vein disease and its symptoms, including varicose veins, leg heaviness, leg fatigue, discomfort, restless leg syndrome, leg cramps, and more…

What Is an Endovenous Ablation Procedure?

Endovenous ablation is a minimally invasive procedure wherein heat or laser energy is used to destroy the diseased vein responsible for your varicose veins. The unhealthy veins are usually located a few centimeters under the skin. While healthy leg veins carry blood from the legs to the heart, unhealthy veins with weak valves allow gravity to pull your blood back into the leg veins. The continued accumulation of pressure in your leg veins leads to spider veins and bulging varicose veins. Endovenous ablation destroys the diseased vein, rerouting the accumulated blood into your healthy leg veins.

How is endovenous ablation performed?

During endovenous radiofrequency ablation, your vein doctor administers local anesthesia to numb the affected region and make an incision. Under ultrasound guidance, a small radiofrequency device is driven through the incision and into the diseased vein. Your vein physician delivers tumescent anesthesia to surround the diseased vein with a protective fluid and activates the radiofrequency device, which, in turn, produces high-intensity sound waves that convert into thermal energy. The diseased vein seals shut and get absorbed by your body, allowing blood to reroute into healthier veins.

We perform endovenous laser ablation using the exact same methods as radiofrequency ablation, but with one major difference. Instead of thermal energy, we use a device that produces laser energy to destroy the diseased vein. Since laser energy is a lot hotter than thermal energy, you might experience some post-procedural discomfort and pain. However, we believe both ablation procedures are equally effective and conclude within 15 to 30 minutes with no downtime. Generally speaking, your vein doctor will have carefully-considered reasons to favor one method over the other to ensure optimal results for your specific situation.

Pros

Endovenous radiofrequency ablation and laser ablation are safe, comfortable, and effective procedures that address the root cause of varicose veins — chronic venous insufficiency. We believe ablation procedures are significantly safer than traditional vascular surgeries, such as vein stripping. They’ve been around for over a decade, so they have a proven safety record. Furthermore, ablation treatments help us prioritize your comfort and convenience — you can squeeze the treatment within a packed schedule and return to work immediately.
Pros Summary:
  • Incredibly high success rate
  • Proven track record
  • Extremely safe and comfortable
  • No recovery period
  • Covered by most insurance plans

Cons

Endovenous ablation is a completely safe and comfortable procedure, but it must be performed by highly-experienced vein doctors using cutting-edge technologies. Endovenous ablation can be performed using numerous platforms and devices — the results can vary based on the device. Furthermore, the procedure involves injecting tumescent anesthesia to ensure optimal comfort. If your vein doctor uses an outdated device, injects an inadequate volume of anesthesia, or uses too many injections, you may experience pain and discomfort. Our vein doctors always calibrate the treatment to ensure optimal comfort.
Cons Summary:
  • Extremely difficult procedure to perform
  • Laser ablation may cause some post-treatment discomfort
  • Must be performed by a highly-skilled vein doctor

Is Endovenous Ablation the Best Choice for You?

You’re the ideal candidate for endovenous ablation procedures if you have underlying chronic venous insufficiency and want a treatment that’s painless, safe, and convenient. Furthermore, you will most likely receive insurance coverage because endovenous ablation is covered by most medical insurance providers.

VenaSeal

Also known as Vein Glue
Treats the underlying vein disease and its symptoms, including leg heaviness, leg fatigue, discomfort, restless leg syndrome, leg cramps, and more…

What Is VenaSeal?

VenaSeal is a cutting-edge device manufactured by a highly reputable scientific company called Medtronic. This is a relatively new procedure that uses a substance called cyanoacrylate glue to seal the diseased vein’s walls — rather than destroying it with thermal or laser energy. Cyanoacrylate glue is a long-standing medical adhesive that’s been used for numerous vascular treatments for a long time, so it boasts a stellar success rate.

How Do NJ Vein Clinics Administer VenaSeal?

During your venaseal procedure, your vein doctor will use an ultrasound scan to identify the affected vein. Your vein doctor will numb the skin over the affected vein to make a small incision and insert a medicine delivery system known as a catheter. The catheter is driven into the diseased vein under ultrasound guidance to deliver the cyanoacrylate glue, making the affected vein shut down. After the diseased vein is sealed off, the accumulated blood automatically reroutes into healthier leg veins.

Pros

We believe venaseal is preferable to the ablation procedures because it doesn’t involve tumescent anesthesia, so you don’t have to deal with post-treatment swelling. Furthermore, the cyanoacrylate glue easily travels around the veins, making it suitable for distribution in veins with multiple branches.
Pros Summary:
  • No post-treatment swelling
  • Suitable for veins with multiple branches
  • Suitable for vein disease recurrence
  • Uses an extremely advanced technology

Cons

VenaSeal is a relatively new procedure that’s only recently received FDA approval, so we don’t have a clear picture of its potential long-term effects. Due to its relative newness, you will have a hard time receiving insurance coverage. You may also exhibit allergic reactions to the vein glue — our vein doctors run thorough allergy tests to avoid that possibility . Furthermore, the vein glue eventually hardens and becomes a permanent implant inside your body.
Cons Summary:
  • Long-term effects are unknown
  • Not covered by all insurance plans
  • Must be performed by exceptional vein doctors
  • Possibility of allergic reactions
  • The vein glue becomes a permanent implant

Is VenaSeal the Best Option for You?

We believe venaseal is the ideal option for you if you’re suffering from a vein disease recurrence after already undergoing treatment before. You may also be a suitable candidate if your diseased vein has multiple branches. However, our vein doctor first determines if you can get insurance coverage for the treatment and if you have any allergic reactions to the medical glue.

Sclerotherapy

Also known as Cosmetic Sclerotherapy, Vein Injections, STS, Saline Injections, and Salt Solution Injections
Treats spider veins and superficial varicose veins

What Is Sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy is a procedure wherein a special medication called a sclerosant is injected into small varicose veins or spider veins. Sclerosant is a medication that irritates the vein walls, making them fuse together and turn into scar tissues eventually absorbed by the body. Over time, the spider veins shrink, fade, and disappear.

How does sclerotherapy work?

During sclerotherapy, your vein doctor will identify all the affected veins either visually on the skin’s surface or using an ultrasound scan for the deeper veins. Using a small needle, your vein doctor will inject the sclerosant medication into the spider veins on your skin’s surface. If the veins are slightly beneath the surface, they’ll inject the sclerosant under ultrasound guidance. Your sclerotherapy treatment is quick, safe, and effective.

Pros

Sclerotherapy allows us to treat the twisted veins that we can’t reach with ablation techniques because the liquid medication easily flows all around the veins. When performed correctly, we believe sclerotherapy is one of the safest and most effective treatments for spider veins, far more effective than skin laser therapy.
Pros Summary:
  • Safe
  • Convenient
  • Highly effective
  • No downtime

Cons

Sclerotherapy can be performed using various types of sclerosant solutions, each having different outcomes. Traditionally, sclerotherapy was performed using a concentrated salt water solution (hypertonic saline), which caused considerable pain and discomfort.

While most vein clinics now avoid hypertonic saline, some vein doctors still use solutions that cause more discomfort than necessary. Furthermore, some vein doctors don’t dilute the sclerosant medication sufficiently, leading to an incorrect dosage that may cause skin discoloration or other side effects. In rare cases, inexperienced vein doctors may also inject the sclerosant medicine into the arteries, leading to necrosis of the skin.

Our vein doctors in Long Island use the safest and most comfortable sclerosant medications, dilute them to the correct dosage, and carefully inject them under ultrasound guidance to ensure optimal results and safety for you.

Cons Summary:
  • Must be performed by board-certified vein experts
  • Results depend on the specific sclerosant medication used

Is Sclerotherapy Your Best Choice?

We believe sclerotherapy is the ideal option for cosmetic spider vein treatment, i.e., removing spider veins if you don’t have underlying vein disease. It’s also suitable for treating recurrent vein disease if you aren’t deemed suitable for ablation and venaseal procedures.

BOOK NOW

Foam Sclerotherapy

Also known as Vein Injections
Treats : Small varicose veins (aka reticular veins) and large varicose veins

What Is a Foam Sclerotherapy Treatment?

Foam sclerotherapy is similar to liquid (standard) sclerotherapy — your vein doctor injects a sclerosant medication into the affected veins to seal them shut. However, liquid sclerotherapy is only suitable for spider veins and small varicose veins because your vein doctor can only use a small quantity of the medication. Foam sclerotherapy involves mixing the sclerosant medication with air to create a bubbly foam that can fill larger areas. This allows your vein doctor to seal larger veins using the same amount of medication, making foam sclerotherapy suitable for reticular veins and varicose veins.

How Does Foam Sclerotherapy Work?

During foam sclerotherapy, your vein doctor will use ultrasound technology to visualize the diseased veins. The foam solution must be fresh when injected, so your vein doctor will prepare the solution (mixing it with air) just before injecting it into the targeted veins. The foam sclerosant solution will be injected under ultrasound guidance to ensure optimal precision, and your vein doctor will observe the ultrasound image to ensure it travels through all the affected veins.

Pros

We believe foam sclerotherapy is more effective at treating larger veins than liquid sclerotherapy because the foamy solution covers more area. It’s also suitable for tortuous veins because the foam travels around within the veins.
Pros Summary:
  • Suitable for tortuous veins
  • Suitable for the treatment of recurrent vein disease
  • Covers a larger area with a smaller volume of medication

Cons

Foam sclerotherapy is a delicate procedure that must be handled by our highly-skilled and board-certified vein doctors. Your vein specialist must assess the varicose vein for connections with perforating veins (deeper veins within the legs) and ensure no medication enters the perforating veins. Our vein doctors take all necessary precautions to ensure you have a safe and comfortable experience.
Cons Summary:
  • Must be performed by the most talented vein doctors

Is Foam Sclerotherapy My Best Option?

You’re the ideal candidate for foam sclerotherapy treatment if you need cosmetic relief from reticular veins or varicose veins. You can also consider this treatment if you experience vein disease recurrence.ease.

Pre-Mixed Foam Sclerotherapy

Also known as Foam Sclerotherapy
Treats the underlying vein disease and its symptoms, including varicose veins, leg heaviness, leg fatigue, discomfort, restless leg syndrome, leg cramps, and more…

What Does Pre-Mixed Foam Sclerotherapy Mean?

Pre-mixed foam is a more advanced form of foam sclerotherapy wherein the solution is available in special canisters, so our vein doctors don’t have to prepare the foam solution in the office. We believe pre-mixed foam sclerotherapy addresses the primary risk associated with traditional foam sclerotherapy — air embolism. The term “air embolism” refers to a situation wherein air enters your bloodstream and gets carried into your lungs, preventing the optimal transfer of blood cells or oxygenated blood. This can happen when you are treated with a sclerosant mixed with room air. Pre-mixed foam sclerotherapy consists of sclerosant medications mixed with carbon dioxide and nitrogen, which allows the solution to disperse through the veins quickly without being carried into your lungs.

How Do New Jersey Vein Clinics Use Pre-Mixed Foam Sclerotherapy?

During pre-mixed foam sclerotherapy, your vein doctor will use ultrasound technology to visualize the diseased veins. A small needle is used to inject the foam sclerosant solution into the targeted veins just under your skin’s surface. The only procedural difference between pre-mixed foam sclerotherapy and standard foam sclerotherapy is that we don’t have to prepare the foam solution in-office.

Pros

We believe pre-mixed foam sclerotherapy is safer than traditional foam sclerotherapy because it disperses faster, negating the possibility of air embolism. It’s the ideal treatment for recurrent vein disease, and it can treat larger varicose veins because it spreads more than traditional sclerotherapy. As such, pre-mixed foam sclerotherapy may help you avoid surgery.
Pros Summary:
  • Highly effective
  • Safer than traditional foam sclerotherapy
  • Suitable for larger veins than liquid sclerotherapy
  • Ideal for the treatment of recurrent vein disease

Cons

Your pre-mixed foam sclerotherapy must be performed by highly-skilled and trained vein doctors because the foam solution must not enter the perforating veins, i.e., the deeper leg veins often connected to varicose veins. Furthermore, you have a low chance of receiving insurance coverage for pre-mixed foam sclerotherapy, which might make the treatment costly.
Cons Summary:
  • Must be performed by exceptional vein doctors
  • Not covered by all insurance plans
  • Expensive treatment without insurance coverage

Is Endovenous Ablation the Best Choice for You?

You’re a suitable candidate for pre-mixed foam sclerotherapy if you have the appropriate insurance coverage. It’s also suitable for you if you have large varicose veins or recurrent vein disease.

ClariVein

Also known as Mechanochemical Ablation
Treats the underlying vein disease and its symptoms, including varicose veins, leg heaviness, leg fatigue, discomfort, restless leg syndrome, leg cramps, and more…

What Is ClariVein?

ClariVein is a cutting-edge treatment performed using a special catheter with a rotating tip. The catheter is inserted into the diseased vein, wherein the rotating tip causes mechanical trauma to the vein’s walls. The device also delivers sclerosant medication to damage and seal the diseased vein, restoring effective blood circulation to your heart.

How Do NJ Vein Doctors Use ClariVein?

During the clarivein treatment, your vein doctor will prepare the treatment area with a cleaning solution, identify the affected veins using ultrasound technology, and numb the region just over the diseased vein. Your vein doctor will insert the specialized catheter into the vein under ultrasound guidance, and the device’s rotating tip will damage the walls of the vein while delivering the sclerosant solution. Your vein doctor will drive the catheter all along the vein’s length to ensure optimal treatment.

Pros

We believe clarivein is a suitable alternative to venaseal because it doesn’t leave an implant, and it’s a suitable alternative to endovenous ablation because it doesn’t involve tumescent anesthesia. Furthermore, the catheter we use is small enough to treat twisted veins as well.
Pros Summary:
  • Minimal post-treatment swelling
  • Doesn’t leave an implant
  • Suitable for tortuous veins

Cons

In recent years, there have been a few reports of complications, with patients experiencing some discomfort and pain during the process. Furthermore, you might not receive insurance coverage for clarivein, making the treatment financially inaccessible or costly.
Cons Summary:
  • Not covered by all insurance providers
  • May cause discomfort

Is ClariVein the Best Option for You?

ClariVein is a great option for you if your insurance providers can cover the treatment. It’s especially suitable for you if you’re allergic to lidocaine (used for tumescent anesthesia during ablation) or if you don’t like the idea of having an implant in your body.

Vein Clinic
Surgery

Also known as Vein Removal, Vein Stripping, and Phlebectomy
Treats extremely large varicose veins

What Is Vein Stripping?

Vein stripping is a traditional vascular surgery wherein an open incision is used to expose and remove the diseased vein using various surgical techniques.

How Is Vein Surgery Performed in NJ Vein Clinics?

During vascular surgery, your vein doctor uses ultrasound technology to identify the diseased vein, following which you’re put under anesthesia and taken to the operating room. Your vein doctor makes an incision on the skin and uses various surgical techniques to extract the diseased vein. The most popular surgical technique is the forcible extraction of the diseased vein using a hook-like device.

Pros

We believe vascular surgery is a suitable treatment option for extremely large and tortuous varicose veins that can’t be treated with minimally invasive procedures.
Pros Summary:
  • Might be the only option for extremely severe cases

Cons

We think vascular surgery should never be tried as a primary vein treatment — it should only be attempted in severe cases or if you don’t respond to minimally invasive vein treatments. Generally speaking, we only provide minimally invasive procedures because they can treat most instances of spider veins, varicose veins, and vein disease.
Cons Summary:
  • Outdated vein treatment method
  • Less effective than minimally invasive procedures
  • Higher risk of complications than minimally invasive treatments

Is Vein Clinic Surgery My Best Option?

A vascular surgery should only be considered if all minimally invasive treatments fail or if you have blood clots. It’s only suitable for the severest cases of tortuous varicose veins.

If you have any other concerns about spider vein and varicose vein treatments, please consult the exceptional Harvard-trained vein doctors at our vein treatment centers in Long Island. Our vein doctors have performed hundreds of minimally invasive procedures while maintaining perfect track records due to their exceptionally comprehensive vein care approach.

We Help You Select the Best Vein Treatment Center for Minimally Invasive Vein Treatments in Long Island

You must select the best vein treatment center for minimally invasive vein treatments in Long Island. Your vein treatment center must have a stellar track record for comprehensive vein care, diagnosing and treating the root cause of all vein problems. The following are the factors to consider when looking for the best vein treatment center in Long Island:
1

Compassionate Vein Doctors

1

Compassionate Vein Doctors

You must look for vein treatment centers led by compassionate vein doctors. During your consultation, the vein doctor must listen to your symptoms, goals, and lifestyle concerns with the utmost patience. If your vein doctor cuts you off or starts recommending treatments before you’re done listing your symptoms, you should probably explore your options more. Your vein doctor must also provide a thorough explanation of your vein treatment options.
2

Comprehensive Treatments

2

Comprehensive Treatments

As our guide illustrates, each vein treatment option has its unique benefits and drawbacks, and they’re all suitable for different types of situations. As such, you must find a vein treatment center in New Jersey that favors comprehensive vein care. They must use the latest diagnostic and vascular imaging tools to trace the root cause of your vein problems, i.e., vein disease. Treating spider veins without treating the underlying venous insufficiency is similar to painting over a stained wall instead of fixing the leaky pipes underneath — the spider veins are bound to return.
3

Vascular Imaging Training

3

Vascular Imaging Training

You must look for vein specialists who understand how to run cutting-edge ultrasound technologies — far too many vein doctors rely on assistants or technicians to handle the ultrasound. However, our vein treatment centers in NJ are led by registered physicians in vascular imaging, i.e., our vein doctors have specialized training in vascular imaging, so they’re uniquely skilled at detecting vein disease.
4

Personalized Treatments

4

Personalized Treatments

Vein treatment shouldn’t have a “one-size-fits-all” approach. Each individual has unique needs and requirements, and your vein doctors must curate individualized treatment plans for you. They must consider your medical history, allergies, goals, expectations, and symptoms to recommend the ideal vein treatments.
5

Accredited Vein Treatment Center

5

Accredited Vein Treatment Center

Finally, you must look for an accredited vein center, i.e., it should have official certification from the IAC (intersocietal accreditation commission). Our vein treatment centers in New Jersey are double-certified by the IAC because we meet the highest standards in vein care, vascular imaging, and vein treatment technologies.

If you have any of the signs or symptoms of venous insufficiency, such as varicose veins, spider veins, leg heaviness, restless leg syndrome, leg cramps, or more, we encourage you to reach out. Our Long Island vein doctors will discuss all your treatment options and help you identify the best minimally invasive vein treatment for your unique needs.
