What is Varithena® Microfoam Ablation?
Varithena® is an FDA-approved, minimally invasive, nonsurgical treatment for varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency.
Instead of heat (as with EVLT) or surgical removal, Varithena uses a specialized injectable microfoam to gently close the diseased vein from within. Once the vein is sealed, blood naturally reroutes to healthier veins, restoring proper circulation.
Key Advantages of Varithena®:
- No heat, no laser, no incisions
- No tumescent anesthesia required
- Performed in-office
- Local anesthesia only
- Typically completed in under 30 minutes
- Minimal downtime and fast symptom relief
Varithena is ideal for veins that are twisted, tortuous, or difficult to treat with laser procedures, making it an excellent option for many patients.
Symptoms and Conditions Varithena Helps Improve
Patients often seek Varithena treatment when experiencing:
- Visible varicose veins (straight or twisted)
- Heaviness, aching, or fatigue in the legs
- Leg swelling (edema)
- Restless or uncomfortable legs, especially at night
- Skin discoloration, inflammation, or tenderness near the ankles
- Itching, burning, or throbbing sensations
- Symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI)
These symptoms indicate that the veins are no longer moving blood efficiently. Varithena treats the underlying cause, not just the cosmetic appearance. If you would like to see if Varithena is right for you, book an appointment.
