Understanding Varithena: A Breakthrough in Vein Treatment

How Varithena Works

  • A small amount of Varithena microfoam is injected into the affected vein.
  • The foam fills and collapses the vein, rerouting blood flow to healthy veins.
  • The body naturally absorbs the closed vein, improving circulation and appearance.
  • No incisions, no stitches, and minimal discomfort.
