Varithena is a new, cutting-edge treatment for people with varicose veins. It was first approved by the FDA in 2013. Today, it has become one of the most popular treatment options for varicose veins.
What is Varithena procedure? What is the Varithena procedure recovery like?
During a Varithena procedure, a foam solution is injected directly into the problematic vein(s). Typically, you will start to see results in around 30 minutes, which is much faster than similar varicose veins treatments that use a liquid base.
The entire procedure typically takes around an hour, although it can vary depending on how many problem veins the patient has or how bad the condition of those veins are. Afterwards, patients will be able to go about their daily activities, although they likely will require a bandage.
Who should use Varithena?
Varithena is a good option for patients who have varicose veins and who are seeking a minimally-invasive treatment option. It is important to note that Varithena is not a cure for varicose veins – it will only treat the symptoms.
If you are considering Varithena, be sure to speak with a vein specialist to see if the procedure is right for you.
What are the side effects of Varithena?
The most common side effects of Varithena are bruising, swelling, and pain at the injection site. These side effects are usually mild and go away within a few days. In rare cases, more serious side effects can occur, such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
If you experience any side effects after your Varithena procedure, be sure to contact your doctor right away.
What is the success rate of Varithena?
Varithena has a high success rate, with most patients seeing significant improvement in the appearance of their varicose veins after just one treatment. In some cases, multiple treatments may be necessary to achieve the desired results.
