Varithena® Foam Treatment

Varithena® is an FDA-approved microfoam therapy for varicose veins, especially for those with leg heaviness or visible vein bulging. It’s a no-surgery, no-scar solution done in under 30 minutes. Patients see cosmetic and pain relief within weeks, making it a top choice in New York vein care.

What is the Varithena Procedure?

Varithena is a foam sclerotherapy treatment that uses a medication called polidocanol to collapse varicose veins. The foam is injected into the affected vein using a tiny needle, causing the vein wall to irritate and close up. Over time, the treated vein is reabsorbed by the body, leaving your legs looking smoother and feeling less achy.

Treatment that's gentle and minimally invasive

No surgery. Little downtime. There’s no reason to wait to treat your varicose veins.

Varithena offers it all, a surprisingly quick and gentle experience that’s covered by most major insurance plans. It’s a proven varicose vein therapy you can trust, and most people quickly return to activities they love. Most people find treatment to be nearly painless. Patients reporting pain at the injection or application site in clinical trials were 4.0%.

Some people only need a single treatment. More treatments may be needed, depending on the number and size of veins that need to be treated.

What to Expect After the Varithena Procedure

There are no incisions, sedation, or general anesthesia. Your physician may recommend Varithena because ,unlike thermal ablation, it:

  • It is effective to treat veins of different sizes up and down your leg
  • Doesn’t need a wire to be inserted along the length of your vein
  • Is given in as little as one or two needle sticks per treatment
  • Doesn’t use heat, removing the risk of burns

And unlike glue, Varithena dissolves in the bloodstream after treatment, leaving nothing permanently in your vein.

A new way to treat varicose veins

Heaviness. Aching. Itching. Living with varicose veins can be difficult, both physically and emotionally. But treatment doesn’t have to be.
