Varicose veins are more than just a cosmetic issue — they come with daily aching, swelling and heaviness as well. At Premier Endovascular in West Orange, NJ, we offer a modern, minimally invasive procedure called vein ablation to eliminate varicose veins and their symptoms without the need for major surgery.
Varicose veins are bulging, rope-like veins that typically appear on the legs. In a healthy leg, veins act as one-way streets, with valves that act as gates to keep blood flowing up toward your heart. When these valves weaken, they don’t close properly, allowing blood to leak backward and pool in the vein. This causes the vein to stretch and swell, leading to:
In the past, the only option to treat varicose veins was a major surgery called vein stripping, which involved surgically removing the entire vein. This procedure required general anesthesia and had a long, painful recovery.
Today, vein ablation is the new gold standard for treating varicose veins. It is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure that closes the damaged vein from the inside, giving you better results and a much easier recovery. Instead of a major operation, vein ablation allows our specialists to correct the issue with just a tiny entry point and local anesthesia, allowing you to return to your daily activities in a fraction of the time.
Vein ablation is designed to be a comfortable and straightforward procedure.
Here’s what you can expect during your procedure at Premier Endovascular:
You may have heard of a different procedure called ablation for the heart. That procedure, often referred to as pulmonary vein isolation, is used to treat an irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) and is performed by a cardiologist. These are two distinct procedures for two separate parts of the body. Vein ablation is specifically designed for the treatment of varicose veins in the leg.
Modern vein treatment is a highly specialized skill. The procedure is perfected by vascular surgeons and interventional radiologists — doctors who are experts in using imaging to navigate inside blood vessels.
At Premier Endovascular, our board-certified specialists have dedicated their careers to mastering these minimally invasive techniques. You are choosing a team that performs these procedures every day in a state-of-the-art outpatient setting. This ensures you receive the highest level of safety, precision and care, leading to the best possible results.
