Varithena

Varithena is a medical treatment designed to treat varicose veins and venous insufficiency.

What is varithena?

 Varithena involves injecting a foam sclerosant into the affected veins. The foam irritates the vein’s inner lining, causing it to close and be gradually reabsorbed by the body. This minimally invasive procedure is usually done on an outpatient basis and does not require general anesthesia. After treatment, patients often experience reduced symptoms, such as pain and swelling, along with improved leg appearance. Varithena is known for being effective with a lower risk of complications compared to traditional surgical treatments.

Common side effects include temporary bruising, swelling, and mild discomfort or a burning sensation at the injection site. Some patients may also experience skin discoloration. While rare, serious risks can include allergic reactions to the sclerosant, vein inflammation (thrombophlebitis), and the potential development of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which can lead to more severe complications.
