What is Varithena? Varithena® is a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment used to treat certain varicose veins. It is a prescription foam made with polidocanol that is injected into problematic veins to help close them. Once the treated vein is closed, blood can be redirected through healthier veins, which may help reduce the appearance and symptoms of varicose veins.Book Dermatology Consults

At USA Vein Clinics, patients can receive a comprehensive evaluation to determine the underlying cause of their vein concerns. A duplex ultrasound may be used to examine blood flow and identify abnormal veins. Common symptoms of varicose veins include aching, swelling, heaviness, itching, cramping, and tired legs.

During Varithena treatment, the specialist uses ultrasound imaging to guide the procedure and deliver the foam into the targeted vein. The medication irritates the vein lining, causing the vein to close. Over time, the body naturally absorbs the treated vein. The procedure is typically performed in an outpatient setting.

Varithena may be an appropriate option for some patients, depending on the size, location, and characteristics of their varicose veins. A qualified vein specialist can determine whether this treatment is suitable after evaluating your condition.

USA Vein Clinics provides personalized care and multiple minimally invasive treatment options for varicose veins. If you are wondering what is Varithena and whether it could help your symptoms, scheduling a consultation can help you understand your available treatment options.
