Varithena Treatment in El Paso

Varicose veins are a nuisance, and they can even cause potentially serious problems if left untreated. Verithena treatment is used to eliminate faulty veins rerounting blood into healthy veins in your legs.

What is Varithena?

Varithena is a medical foam, also known as polidocanol injectable foam, that can be injected into a vein through a catheter, without the need for anesthesia or surgery. It’s a minimally invasive procedure and patients who receive it can resume normal activities right after the procedure. Once injected, the foam activates itself within the veins, causing the vein to collapse and stop function. Once the vein collapses, the foam deactivates.

This form of varicose vein treatment can be completed within 15 to 20 minutes. Varithena can be used to treat twisted, or tortuous, veins, veins both above and below the knee, and veins that have previously been unsuccessfully treated by other varicose vein treatments.

Have Patients Seen Success with Varithena?

In multiple controlled studies, patients who were administered Varithena saw improved symptoms and vein appearance compared to patients who were given two different kinds of placebos. While Varithena can’t treat all forms of varicose veins, it’s very effective in the right selective group.
