🩺 What is Varithena®?

Varithena® (polidocanol injectable foam) is an FDA-approved, non-surgical treatment used to treat varicose veins caused by problems in the great saphenous vein (GSV) system. It’s a minimally invasive procedure where a microfoam is injected into the diseased vein, causing it to collapse and seal shut. Over time, the vein is absorbed by the body, and blood is naturally rerouted to healthy veins.

✅ Benefits of Varithena

  • Non-surgical, no incisions required
  • Procedure takes less than 30 minutes
  • No general anesthesia needed
  • Minimal downtime — return to normal activities quickly
  • Effective for both visible varicose veins and underlying venous insufficiency
  • Improves both symptoms and cosmetic appearance

📋 Conditions Treated With Varithena:

  • Varicose veins in the legs
  • Chronic venous insufficiency
  • Aching, heaviness, and swelling
  • Bulging or twisted visible veins
  • Discomfort while standing or walking

⚙️ How the Procedure Works:

  1. A small catheter is inserted into or near the affected vein.
  2. A specially formulated microfoam is injected into the vein.
  3. The foam fills and treats the vein, causing it to collapse.
  4. The body naturally absorbs the closed vein over time.
  5. Blood flow is redirected to healthier surrounding veins.

The treatment usually takes less than an hour and is performed in a clinical setting.

🤕 What to Expect After Varithena Treatment:

  • Mild bruising or tenderness at the injection site
  • You’ll be advised to wear compression stockings for a few days
  • Light walking is encouraged soon after the procedure
  • Most people return to normal activities the same or next day
  • Visible improvements and symptom relief within weeks

🔄 Results You Can Expect

Multiple clinical studies have shown statistically significant improvement in both symptoms and quality of life after Varithena treatment.

  • Cosmetic improvement of visible veins within 2–6 weeks
  • Relief from leg aching, heaviness, fatigue, and throbbing
  • Improved skin appearance and color in areas with chronic venous disease
  • Long-lasting results — many patients see relief for years with proper care

Side Effects & Risks (Transparency Section)

  • Bruising or tenderness at the injection site
