Do you suffer from varicose veins? Do those inflamed, bulging, and twisted veins in your legs make you self-conscious? Are they causing you pain? If so, then you may be a prime candidate for leg vein ablation.
At Montville MedSpa and Pain Center, a premier Somerset County vein clinic, we perform vein ablation surgery right at our Pleasant Plains, NJ facility. Using cutting-edge technologies and the most advanced techniques, our board-certified surgeon has successfully treated countless patients with varicose vein ablation surgery. If you’re one of the millions of people who are afflicted with varicose veins, vascular ablation may be the solution you have been looking for.
What are Varicose Veins?
Varicose veins are twisted, swollen veins. This condition affects the superficial veins (the veins that are closed to the surface of the skin), primarily in the legs. They can be unsightly and uncomfortable, and in severe cases, they can even lead to serious health problems.
The veins transport blood from the legs back up to the heart. They feature one-way valves, which ensure the blood travels in the right direction and prevent it from pooling in the veins. However, if the vein walls become damaged or diseased, they can stretch and lose elasticity. When this happens, the valves can become defective, and instead of traveling up to the heart, the blood can travel backward and pool in the veins. The result of this pooling blood is varicose veins.
What Causes Varicose Veins?
Varicose veins are considered a form of chronic venous insufficiency. In many cases, this condition is hereditary, so if someone in your family has them, there’s a good chance that you will develop varicose veins, too. However, genetics aren’t the only cause of varicose veins. There are several other factors that can contribute to the development of swollen, bulging veins, including:
What is Varicose Vein Ablation Surgery?
Varicose vein ablation surgery, sometimes referred to as leg vein ablation is a surgical procedure that involves disrupting blood flow to varicose veins. The procedure involves applying laser-generated heat to a varicose vein. This heat seals off the vein, preventing blood from flowing through it. When the blood supply to the vein is cut off, the vein eventually disappears.
How is Varicose Vein Ablation Surgery Done?
At Montville MedSpa and Pain Center, varicose vein ablation surgery is completed at our Somerset County vein clinic. During the procedure, our board-certified doctor will make a small incision in your leg near the varicose vein. A thin, flexible tube will be inserted through the incision and a laser fiber will be fed through the tube. The laser fiber will apply heat to the length of the varicose vein, which seals off the blood supply.
Prior to the procedure, a numbing agent is applied to the site where the small incision will be made and along the length of the varicose vein; there is no need for anesthesia. Additionally, no stitches are required, as the incision is only about 2-mm in size.
Once the surgery is complete, you are free to go home and can resume your regular activities (with some limitations until the incision site is completely healed, of course).
Why Should You Consider Varicose Vein Ablation Surgery?
If you suffer from varicose veins, vascular ablation is definitely a treatment option that you should consider. This surgery is minimally invasive and is done as an out-patient procedure at our state-of-the-art Pleasant Plains, NJ facility. The procedure is done rather quickly (about 15 to 20 minutes for a single vein, on average), and you can return home immediately after.
Vascular vein ablation surgery is highly effective and very safe. The results are permanent and unlike other methods that are used to treat varicose veins, the risk of complication is minimal.
By having leg vein ablation surgery, your appearance can be restored and any pain that you may be experiencing can be eased. Furthermore, eliminating varicose veins can improve your overall health, as varicose veins have the potential to cause dangerous and potentially deadly health complications, such as blood clotting or pulmonary embolism.

Pleasant Plains is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) located in Franklin Township, in Somerset County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the CDP’s population was 922. Having no distinct boundaries, a large area in the center of Franklin Township centered on the intersections of South Middlebush Road with Claremont and Suydam Roads is generally considered Pleasant Plains.
Prior to the development of K. Hovnanian’s Town and Country Estates in 1998, the area included little more than a collection of 18th and 19th century farms and rural lanes. Its historic rural character may be seen in an estimate from 1882 which listed the Pleasant Plains population at 46.
An icon in the area has been the early 19th century general store and blacksmith shop buildings known since the late 1800s as Laird’s Brothers Hardware and Laird’s Corner Store.
Another area feature is the Pleasant Plains Cemetery on South Middlebush Road just south of Laird’s Corner that has been in use from early settlement of the area until the present day.
