Frequently Asked Questions

Varithena is a minimally invasive foam treatment used to treat certain varicose veins and diseased veins caused by venous reflux. It helps close problem veins so blood can reroute through healthier veins.

Varithena is injected into the affected vein as a microfoam. The foam fills the vein, irritates the vein wall, and causes the vein to close. Over time, the treated vein is absorbed by the body.

Varithena is commonly used for varicose veins and certain veins affected by venous reflux. It may be recommended when the vein anatomy is not ideal for heat-based treatments.

Most patients tolerate Varithena well. The treatment does not require large incisions or general anesthesia, and discomfort is usually mild.

Varithena treatment is usually performed in-office and often takes less than an hour. Patients can typically walk soon after the procedure.

Recovery is usually quick. Patients are often encouraged to walk after treatment and may be advised to wear compression stockings for a period of time.

Varithena may be covered by insurance when it is medically necessary for symptomatic varicose veins or venous insufficiency confirmed by ultrasound.

Some symptom improvement may occur within weeks, while visible vein improvement may take more time as the treated vein closes and fades.
