Improve Quality of Life Without Varicose Veins with Varithena 

Varicose veins are a common problem, affecting around 20% of adults. While they aren't usually life-threatening, they can take a toll on patients' self-esteem due to their reddish-blue color and sometimes bulging appearance. Its appearance may also be a symptom of an underlying venous condition, like chronic venous insufficiency. If the veins are accompanied by swelling, itchiness, and open sores, you might want to consult a vein specialist.

America's Vein Doctors offers treatment solutions for the vein appearance in your legs with polidocanol injectable foam Varithena. We provide a thorough screening of the malfunctioning vein and assess for an underlying vein problem. We ensure providing customized treatment options according to your condition.

What is Varithena?

Varithena injection is a polidocanol foam treatment for reducing vein appearance caused by malfunctions with the great saphenous vein and other venous problems. Varithena works with direct injection into the refluxing vein, where its microfoam consistency ensures reaching the vein walls. 

The polidocanol solution causes a reaction of contracting collagen until the treated vein seals shut. This malfunctioning vein will scar and eventually fade into local tissues. The blood will then reroute to healthier veins, reducing the appearance of bulging veins and visible varicosities.

Benefits of Foam Sclerotherapy

Your Varithena injection is just one of the different solutions and solutions used for sclerotherapy. Like many injectable treatments for your leg veins, polidocanol foam holds a wealth of benefits.

The benefits of polidocanol solution with Varithena injection are:

  • Gentle - unlike vascular surgery, foam sclerotherapy with Varithena is gentle – it's a non-surgical treatment that doesn't require general anesthesia. Patients would experience few health risks.
  • Minimal downtime - as a minimally invasive treatment, your Varithena works only by injecting the solution into your diseased vein with ultrasound guidance. It doesn't require any incisions, so you'd only need minimal downtime. 
  • Quick procedure - your Varithena varicose vein treatment would only take less than an hour.
  • One-time treatment - this vein treatment usually involves only one treatment to reduce the appearance of your bulging veins and visible varicosities.
  • Covered by insurance - your insurance might cover this vein treatment, depending on the severity of the vein appearance and symptoms.

Varithena Treatment with America's Vein Doctors 

America's Vein Doctors offers foam sclerotherapy with Varithena (polidocanol solution) to reduce vein appearance. It can also relieve leg pain and other symptoms related to the diseased vein. Patients can expect a thorough procedure from consultation to aftercare, ensuring wellness and comfort.

Consultation

Patients can expect a thorough leg screening to assess their candidacy for foam sclerotherapy. We will do imaging tests, physical examinations, and interviews to collect your medical history and patient information. This protocol will avoid an adverse reaction from the foam sclerotherapy treatment and set up your treatment for success.

Before Procedure

Consult our vein specialist for the medications you're taking -- instructions will be provided if you need to abstain temporarily from some of them or not. Some medications, like blood thinners, might interfere with your procedure and cause more bleeding. 

During Procedure

Patients can expect their foam sclerotherapy at America's Vein Doctors to be performed by board-certified healthcare providers with top-notch technology.

Here's how your Varithena treatment session will go:

  1. The patient will be asked to lie on their back with legs slightly elevated.
  2. Practitioners will prepare the treated leg by cleaning.
  3. Topical anesthesia or numbing cream can be applied to reduce any discomfort.
  4. A duplex ultrasound will be set up to guide your Varithena injection.
  5. With ultrasound guidance, your vein specialist will carefully inject small amounts of Varithena.
  6. The doctor withdraws the injection, massages it, and moves to the next refluxing vein.
  7. A compression pad will be applied to the injection site.
  8. The foam polidocanol solution will fill the malfunctioning vein and treat the vein walls, prompting the vein to seal off. The blood will then reroute to other healthy veins.

America's Vein Doctors strive to provide patients with safe and comfortable treatment sessions as possible with the advanced technology and methods conducted by our board-certified vein specialists. Schedule a consultation today to know more about your procedure.

After Procedure

America's Vein Doctors strive for your recovery from venous problems with the care we offer, even after your varicose vein treatment. Here are some guidelines to consider:

  • Our healthcare providers will observe you for around 10 minutes to check for an adverse reaction from the sclerosant.
  • We will apply compression bandages and garments, which patients need to wear for 2 weeks -- this will avoid a blood clot from forming.
  • Avoid strenuous exercises
  • Walk for at least 10 minutes every day for 2 weeks.
  • Avoid long periods of inactivity.

After 2 weeks, you will need to return to our vein clinic so we can assess if another treatment session will be needed. But usually, one procedure is enough, but it’s good to ensure following the proper guidelines to prevent an adverse reaction, like a blood clot.

Varithena Polidocanol Foam vs. Liquid Sclerotherapy

Foam sclerotherapy is different from the usual liquid sclerotherapy in terms of consistency, which makes it already different as well when it comes to effectiveness. As the term implies, liquid sclerotherapy comes in liquid form. It's also injected into the affected vein to seal it off and reroute the blood into healthier veins.

Foam sclerotherapy. like your Varithena treatment, has a consistency similar to a shaving cream – the sclerosant has been exposed to gas to make the solution look like foam. Because of its texture, it ensures filling the refluxing vein and reaching the vein walls. Liquid sclerotherapy is effective itself, but the solution can be diluted due to being mixed with other fluids, like your blood. A foam sclerosant doesn't easily become diluted, so it can treat the vein even with a smaller dose.
