Varithena® Treatment for Varicose Veins
Varicose veins impact your life both physically and emotionally. For patients suffering from leg heaviness, aching and itching, Varithena® can help improve their sleep, work and confidence! Get back to your favorite activities with this non-surgical, minimally-invasive procedure involving an injection of foam that closes damaged veins with proven reliability.
What Are Varicose Veins?
Small valves in the leg veins work against gravity to push blood back to the heart. When these valves weaken, blood can pool in the legs and lead to the development of varicose veins. Certain factors can put you at increased risk, including heredity, gender, age, carrying excess body weight, pregnancy or standing for long periods of time at work. View Patient Guide
How Does Varithena® Work?
Varithena® is a gentle foam treatment delivered in just one or two needle sticks. There’s no need for sedation, incisions or stitches and treatment usually takes less than one hour.
For most people, Varithena® improves the physical symptoms related to varicose veins, including pain, swelling and throbbing, as well as their enlarged, twisted appearance. In clinical studies, the majority of patients treated with Varithena® experienced these results after just one session!
What Are the Benefits of Varithena®?
Unlike some other foams, Varithena® is FDA-approved. During your session, a qualified physician will inject the foam inside your damaged veins to close them and allow the blood to flow through other healthy veins.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Varithena®?
At your consultation, a physician may recommend Varithena® because it:
- Can effectively treat varicose veins of different sizes
- Does not need a wire to be inserted along the length of the vein
- Does not use heat to close the affected veins
- Dissolves in the bloodstream after treatment, leaving nothing permanent behind
What Are the Side Effects of Varithena®?
The most common side effects associated with Varithena® are leg discomfort, injection site bruising or pain and potentially serious blood clots in the leg veins.
Does Insurance Cover Varithena® Treatment?
Varithena® is covered by most Medicare and insurance plans, but please check with your provider prior to treatment. Coverage may depend on the severity and symptoms of your varicose vein disease.
