Minimally Invasive Treatment for Varicose Veins
What are varicose veins?
Varicose veins are enlarged, often bluish, twisting leg veins that bulge above the surface of the skin. It is a common condition affecting many men and women.
Varicose veins are not always visible. For some people, they cause pain, discomfort and symptoms, such as:
- Heaviness
- Achiness
- Swelling
- Throbbing
- Itching
A Quick, Nearly Painless Procedure
Varicose vein treatment involves injecting a foam that causes veins to close. Varithena is minimally invasive, and patients reporting pain at the injection or application site in clinical trials was 4.0%.[1] There’s no need for incisions or stitches, and treatment is usually less than an hour.
Proven, Reliable Results
In clinical studies, the majority of patients treated with Varithena experienced these results after just one treatment:
- Improved symptoms including heaviness, swelling, throbbing, and itching
- Improved vein appearance assessed by both patients and physicians
What are the side effects?
The most common side effects are leg pain or discomfort, injection site bruising or pain and potentially serious blood clots in the leg veins. These are not all of the possible side effects of Varithena.
