Varicose Vein Treatment New Jersey

Relieve Painful, Swollen, and Uncomfortable Varicose Veins

Varicose veins are more than a cosmetic concern. For many people, they cause aching, heaviness, swelling, burning, and fatigue that can make standing, walking, or simply getting through the day uncomfortable.

If your legs feel worse after long periods of standing or sitting, the problem may be more than tired muscles. It may be venous insufficiency, a condition in which damaged vein valves allow blood to pool in the legs.

For nearly 30 years, Dr. Todd Koppel has provided minimally invasive treatment for patients suffering from painful varicose veins in New Jersey. Using advanced image guided techniques, he helps patients relieve symptoms, improve circulation, and return to their normal activities with little downtime.

Who Is at Risk?

• Jobs that require prolonged standing or sitting
• Family history of varicose veins or venous insufficiency
• Pregnancy comes with an increased blood volume, which puts pressure on leg veins
• Age can cause vein walls and valves to naturally weaken over time
• Excess weight increases pressure on the venous system
• Prior leg injuries or surgeries affecting venous circulation

Minimally Invasive Vein Treatment

Vein ablation is the gold standard treatment for varicose veins and the venous insufficiency that causes them. Using a thin catheter inserted through a small needle puncture, thermal energy is delivered along the length of the damaged vein, causing it to close and be gradually absorbed by the body. Blood reroutes naturally through healthy veins.

The procedure is performed in the office under local anesthesia:

• Takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes per vein
• No general anesthesia, no hospital stay
• No significant downtime, as most patients walk out and return to normal activities the same day
• Compression stockings worn for a short period following treatment

Benefits of Vein Ablation

Compared with traditional vein surgery, endovenous ablation offers several advantages:

• Performed in the office
• Local anesthesia
• Small needle sized entry point
• No hospital stay
• Minimal discomfort
• Little downtime
• Most patients return to normal activities the same day

What to Expect

Your evaluation includes a detailed examination and ultrasound imaging to determine which veins are causing your symptoms.

During Your Procedure

The procedure generally takes 30 to 45 minutes for each vein being treated.
