Legs That Heal, Comfort
That Lasts.
Venous ulcers are open sores on the legs or ankles that develop when veins aren’t able to efficiently return blood to the heart.
At NJ Vein Care and Aesthetics Center in Clifton, New Jersey, vascular surgeon Gary Nackman, MD, FACS, provides expert evaluation and advanced care for venous ulcers to promote healing and prevent recurrence. These ulcers often develop from chronic venous insufficiency, where weakened or damaged vein valves allow blood to pool in the lower legs, increasing pressure and damaging the skin. Patients may notice swelling, aching, or discoloration in addition to open wounds that are slow to heal. If left untreated, venous ulcers can become painful, infected, and impact mobility and quality of life.
Dr. Nackman and his team use a comprehensive approach, combining wound care, compression therapy, and minimally invasive vein treatments to restore healthy circulation. Early intervention is key to reducing complications and supporting faster healing. With the right care, venous ulcers can be managed effectively, helping you regain comfort, confidence, and mobility.

How We Treat Venous Ulcers
How We Treat
Venous Ulcers
Treatment for venous ulcers at NJ Vein Care begins with a thorough assessment of your vein health and ulcer severity.
Compression therapy is often used to reduce swelling and support proper blood flow, which is essential for healing. Advanced wound care techniques are applied to clean, protect, and promote tissue regeneration, while specialized dressings help prevent infection. Minimally invasive vein procedures, such as RF ablation, Varithena®, or VenaSeal®, may be recommended to correct underlying venous insufficiency and reduce pressure on the affected area.
Lifestyle adjustments, including leg elevation, exercise, and proper skin care, are incorporated into your treatment plan to improve circulation and prevent future ulcers. For more severe or stubborn ulcers, microphlebectomy or other targeted interventions may be used to remove damaged veins. Dr. Nackman tailors each plan to your unique anatomy, overall health, and healing needs. This comprehensive approach not only treats the ulcer but also addresses the root cause to promote long-term leg health.
