UNDERSTANDING VARITHENA

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

  • WHAT IS VARITHENA?

    Varithena® is an FDA-approved, specialized microfoam medication specifically designed to treat varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency. The unique formula creates a consistent, injectable foam that flows easily through twisted and straight veins alike. Unlike heat-based treatments, Varithena® works by chemically sealing affected veins, allowing your body to naturally redirect blood flow to healthy veins.


  • HOW DOES VARITHENA WORK?

    Varithena® uses a specialized microfoam formula to treat diseased veins:

    • Precise foam injection seals problematic veins
    • Blood naturally redirects to healthy veins
    • Treats veins of various sizes
    • Effectively addresses twisted vein patterns

    Expert Insight: Varithena's unique microfoam composition allows us to treat complex vein patterns that might be difficult to address with traditional thermal treatments.

  • WHAT DOES THE PROCEDURE ENTAIL?

    Our board-certified specialists deliver Varithena® treatment with precision:

    • Minimally invasive injection technique
    • No thermal energy required
    • Quick procedure time
    • Customized to your specific vein pattern

    Expert Insight: The non-thermal nature of Varithena® makes it particularly suitable for treating veins close to the skin's surface or those with complex anatomical patterns.


  • HOW SOON CAN I RETURN TO NORMAL ACTIVITIES?

    Most patients can resume normal activities within 24 hours after treatment. We provide specific post-procedure guidelines based on your individual situation, but the minimally invasive nature of Varithena® typically allows for quick recovery.

  • ARE MULTIPLE VARITHENA TREATMENTS NECESSARY ?

    The number of treatments needed depends on your specific condition. We'll evaluate your veins during your consultation and develop a customized treatment plan. Many patients achieve the desired results with just one or two sessions.

  • WHAT RESULTS CAN I EXPECT FROM VARITHENA?

    Patients typically notice improvement in symptoms within days of treatment. The treated veins gradually fade as your body naturally processes them, with continued improvement over several weeks. Both visible symptoms and underlying discomfort typically resolve significantly.

  • I'M ANXIOUS ABOUT MY UPCOMING PROCEDURE. WHAT OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE TO HELP ME FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE?

    At Vascular Solutions, we understand that procedures can cause anxiety. During your initial consultation, you can discuss the option of using Pro-Nox (“laughing gas”) with your provider. Pro-Nox is a patient-controlled nitrous oxide system that helps reduce anxiety and discomfort during procedures. This quick-acting option allows most patients to drive themselves home after a brief 15-minute recovery period.


    Key points to discuss with your provider:


    • Your specific anxiety concerns
    • Previous experiences with medical procedures
    • Current medications, including anti-anxiety medications
    • Medical history that might affect Pro-Nox use

    Cost ($150 per treatment, self-pay)


    Contact our office if you have immediate questions about anxiety management options.
