Experience the Varithena — A Fast and Painless Approach
Varicose veins treating process revolves around the injection of a specialized microfoam, which induces the closure of the affected veins. Furthermore, Varithena is exceptionally non-invasive, with just 4.0% of patients reporting any discomfort during the injection or application, based on clinical trials. What’s more, there is no need for incisions or stitches are required, and the entire treatment typically lasts under an hour. Remarkably, most individuals achieve significant results with just a single treatment.
Before the treatment
- The physician usually numbs the injection site, but no additional anesthesia is required.
During treatment
- Your physician administers a small amount of Varithena.
- The Varithena microfoam fills the desired section of the vein and treats the vein wall, causing the diseased vein to collapse.
- Blood flow is redirected to healthier nearby veins. The microfoam disperses as it comes into contact with blood in healthy veins.
- Your physician uses the same process on any other veins that need treatment.
- The most common side effects are leg pain or discomfort, injection site bruising or pain, and potentially serious blood clots in the leg veins.
After treatment
- Although rare, a healthcare professional will monitor for allergic reaction signs for 10 minutes.
- Your physician applies bandages and prescribes two weeks of leg compression stockings.
- Thanks to Varithena's minimally invasive nature, you can typically resume normal activities on the same day.
- You should avoid heavy exercise for one week.
- For a month, you should walk at least 10 minutes a day and avoid long stretches of inactivity.
- Additional treatment sessions may be needed.
Side Effects of Treatment
