We want you to know that we can help. Although initially your vein treatment options may seem overwhelming, there is no need to worry. Our vein specialists will create an individualized plan of care for you and offer expert recommendations on what will work. All you need to do is schedule a consultation.
What is Varithena?
Because no two patients (or two veins!) are the same, we offer a variety of minimally-invasive varicose vein treatments. One of these involves Varithena foam. Varithena treatment is a safe, effective, and FDA-approved technique that can improve painful or unpleasant vein symptoms.
We can perform Varithena treatment at any of our 90 nationwide offices. No hospital stay is involved because it is a short, outpatient procedure. That’s great news for busy people, since it is easy to return to normal activities. After a Varithena procedure, many of our patients wonder why they didn’t seek treatment sooner!

How Does Varithena Treatment Work?
First, we want to assure you that you are in good hands with our specialists at USA Vein Clinics. Along with other vein treatments, our vein experts are highly skilled in performing Varithena procedures. To make things potentially even safer, Varithena foam comes in a canister already measured to the perfect dosage.
During treatment, the Varithena device generates a microfoam. Then, one of our vein experts injects the Varithena foam into the affected veins using ultrasound guidance. Afterwards, the foam fills and collapses the affected veins and causes the blood flow to reroute to healthy veins nearby.
If you’ve been avoiding varicose vein treatment because you fear painful surgery, Varithena may be a good option for you. You’ve also probably heard that vein surgery can involve a long recovery — and this is often true. Varithena treatment, on the other hand, is minimally-invasive and completely non-surgical.
Foam Treatment for Varicose Veins
You now know that Varithena is a foam treatment for varicose veins that can improve your varicose vein symptoms. Using Varithena, people often find relief from symptoms such as:
- Leg cramping or aching
- Itching or burning
- Swelling
- Heaviness
- Throbbing or restlessness
Varithena treatment can help reduce your risk of developing progressive vein disease, or venous insufficiency. Vein disease can eventually lead to complications such as venous ulcers, superficial thrombophlebitis, and Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT).
A Varithena procedure typically takes less than 30 minutes, although the number of veins requiring treatment will affect the length of your session. The procedure requires no downtime, so you’ll be free to return home or to work immediately following treatment. Your vascular specialist will instruct you on what to do and what to avoid following the treatment.
What to Expect From a Varithena Varicose Vein Treatment
If your doctor recommends a Varithena procedure, you can plan on following your regular routine the day of your appointment. You may be asked in advance to purchase compression stockings, so you can put them on immediately following treatment. Wearing compression stockings after Varithena treatment can help minimize swelling and encourage healing.
After your Varithena procedure, you may resume the majority of your typical activities. However, you should avoid strenuous exercise, lifting heavy objects, and bathing in a hot tub or bath for several days. You’ll also need to return for a follow-up appointment within 2 to 3 weeks to ensure the treatment was successful.
Safety and Effectiveness of Varithena Treatment
Extensive research has shown Varithena treatment is effective in improving both the appearance and symptoms of varicose veins. For example, in one study, patients treated with Varithena reported clinically significant improvement in their veins’ appearance. They also reported significantly less need for additional treatment than those who received a placebo.
These results — as well as the satisfaction of thousands of patients across the country — indicate that Varithena is a safe and affordable non-surgical treatment for varicose veins.
After Varithena, our patients typically report:
- Less pain
- Less swelling
- Less itching
- Less burning
- Less heaviness
