Varicose veins can cause more than cosmetic changes. They may lead to heaviness, swelling, or discomfort that disrupts your daily routine. If you’ve been searching for a safe and effective way to find relief, Varithena® offers a minimally invasive solution designed to improve circulation and help you feel more comfortable and confident.
What is Varithena®?
Varithena® is an FDA-approved, non-thermal treatment for varicose veins. Unlike surgical procedures, it does not require incisions or general anesthesia. Instead, it uses a specialized foam to close diseased veins so blood can be rerouted to healthier ones.
This approach provides reliable results, has fewer risks of complications, and allows most patients to return to normal activities within a day or two.
Benefits of Varithena® Treatment
- Minimally invasive: No incisions or stitches needed
- Quick recovery: Most patients resume light activity in 1-2 days
- Safe and effective: 80%+ success rate in clinical studies
- Comfortable procedure: Typically completed in about 45 minutes
- Versatile: Works for twisted veins both small and large
The Varithena® Procedure: Step by Step
Before treatment at Veinology Health, you’ll meet with one of our specialists for a full evaluation. This includes a review of your medical history, an exam, and a discussion about whether Varithena® is the right choice for your vein concerns.
The step-by-step procedure once you and your provider have decided to proceed with Varithena® treatment:
- Preparation: Your provider will numb the treatment area for comfort.
- Guidance: Using ultrasound, your provider carefully identifies the targeted vein.
- Injection: A foam solution is injected through a tiny needle.
- Action: The foam displaces blood, irritates the vein walls, and causes the vein to collapse.
- Redirection: Blood flow reroutes naturally to nearby healthy veins.
- Absorption: Over time, the body absorbs the treated vein.
Multiple veins can often be treated in the same session.
Recovery & Aftercare
Most people experience only mild bruising or tenderness at the injection site. To support recovery:
- Wear compression stockings as directed
- Stay active with light walking (at least 10 minutes daily)
- Avoid strenuous exercise for about one week
- Keep the area clean and dry
- Avoid long periods of sitting or standing still
Results You Can Expect
Many patients notice visible improvement after one session, though a second treatment may sometimes be recommended. Varithena® is particularly effective for veins that are difficult to treat with other procedures, including large or twisted veins.
