Frequently asked questions.
If you have a question we did not cover, the team is happy to walk you through it on the phone.
Varithena is an FDA approved, minimally invasive, non surgical foam treatment used to treat varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency. It involves injecting a specially formulated microfoam into the affected vein to collapse it and redirect blood flow to healthier veins.
The microfoam is injected into the problematic vein using a small needle. It fills the vein, causing it to collapse and seal shut. Over time, the closed vein is absorbed by the body, improving both symptoms and appearance.
Most patients experience little to no pain. Only a small amount of local anesthetic is needed at the injection site, and no incisions or heat are used.
Most patients resume light activities the same day. You will need to wear compression stockings for 1 to 2 weeks. Avoid heavy exercise and prolonged standing for a few days.
The treated vein is permanently closed, but new varicose veins can form if underlying venous disease continues. Ongoing vein health management is important.
