With a leading varicose vein doctor in NJ, address the problem at the root cause.

When you get your varicose veins treated, you need to address the root cause of the problem to prevent them from recurring. Usually, varicose veins form when a larger vein of the leg, called the saphenous vein is defective. When the saphenous vein fails to send blood back to the heart efficiently, the blood remains in the smaller leg veins, causing them to swell up and distort. So before you consider treating your varicose veins, you need to look at those saphenous veins, and fix them first! Dr. Novak always asks about symptoms related to this, such as leg pain or feet swelling. If it is likely that you have damaged saphenous veins.

She may order an ultrasound – this will allow her to look at the pattern of blood flow in your veins and find out where the defects are.

Types of varicose vein treatment offered at Vein Treatment Clinic, Long Island

Dr. Caroline Novak believes in minimally invasive vein treatment. In this method of treatment, the vein is accessed from outside through a tiny puncture (almost like an injection) and a flexible tube, called a catheter is inserted into the vein. Treatment is performed from within the vein, and the vein doctor visualizes the entire process on an ultrasound image.

In minimally invasive treatment, the defective vein is actually sealed from within to prevent blood from flowing through it. This is quick, effective, and eliminates the need for painful vascular surgery to physically remove veins. At the Vein Treatment clinic, we offer several kinds of minimally invasive treatment:

• Radiofrequency ablation: This uses radiofrequency waves to seal the vein through a catheter. Radiofrequency waves generate heat, which allows the vein walls to melt, scar and seal together. Some doctors offer Endovenous Laser ablation instead, which also uses heat. However, this procedure generates higher temperatures, which can cause more discomfort.

• VenaSeal: This is a new, state of the art procedure. The catheter delivers drops of medicated glue throughout the length of the defective vein, and the vein doctor applies pressure from outside for a few minutes. Once the glue hardens, the vein is permanently sealed shut.

• Sclerotherapy: This is meant for tiny visible veins, called spider veins. A medicated solution, called sclerosant is injected into these veins using microneedles. The solution makes the vein walls swell and stick together.

• Clarivein: This technique is basically sclerotherapy, adapted to larger veins. The catheter used in this technique has a rotating tip, which helps disperse the sclerosant throughout the length of the vein, in all directions.

• Varithena: This technique is meant for medium sized or residual veins. This uses a foam based sclerosant, which is also injected directly into the vein.
