Varithena

Varithena: A Minimally Invasive Treatment for Varicose Veins

Varithena is an FDA-approved, minimally invasive treatment using polidocanol injectable foam (1%) to treat saphenous vein reflux and enhance the appearance of varicose veins. This safe, non-surgical procedure helps improve comfort and provides visible results, making your legs feel lighter and look better.

How Does Varithena Work?

Varithena is injected into the affected vein, where it causes the vein to collapse, redirecting blood flow into healthier veins. This results in reduced symptoms and improved leg appearance. The procedure is quick and effective, with no need for surgery, sedation, or multiple injections.

Symptoms That Varithena Improves

●     Heaviness in the legs

●     Aching or throbbing

●     Swelling

●     Itching

●     Throbbing sensations

Before the Treatment

After a consultation with Dr. Umerani, you'll receive detailed instructions for preparation. There’s no need for sedative medications, as Varithena is a non-surgical treatment.

During the Varithena Procedure

The area is numbed for comfort. A small needle or catheter injects the foam into the affected vein, which is then guided by ultrasound. The foam causes the vein to collapse, and blood flow is redirected to healthy veins. A bandage is placed over the site, and the procedure takes about an hour.

After the Treatment

Keep the bandage dry and in place for 48 hours. Avoid heavy physical activity but walking for 10 minutes daily is recommended. Follow-up visits with Dr. Umerani will be scheduled to monitor progress.
