Experience the ultimate varicose vein treatment with Varithena™, offered by Region Vein.
Utilizing innovative foam sclerotherapy, Varithena™ stands out as the unrivaled choice for achieving optimal results in reducing unsightly and painful varicose veins.
What makes Varithena™ different?
Varithena is a gentle and minimally invasive treatment that eliminates the need for surgical vein stripping, thereby eliminating associated risks. It avoids the use of general anesthesia, sedation, and incisions. Unlike most thermal procedures, Varithena does not require multiple injections to numb the treatment site, and it does not leave behind permanent foreign bodies after treatment.
Benefits of Varithena™ include:
- Gentle Treatment: Typically only a few sticks are required for the treatment.
- Minimal Downtime: In most cases, individuals can resume many activities on the same day as the treatment.
- Fast Procedures: The entire procedure typically takes less than an hour.
- Short Treatment Process: Most people only require one treatment to observe positive results. Depending on your specific condition, additional treatment sessions may be needed.
- Insurance Coverage: Treatment may be covered by insurance carriers, depending on the severity of the varicose veins and associated symptoms. We can assist you in understanding your coverage.
How does Varithena™ work?
A tiny needle is then expertly guided into the targeted vein, through which a specialized foam is injected, effectively obliterating the abnormal vein. The foam is immediately absorbed by your blood, leaving nothing behind.
Unlike alternative methods, Varithena™ does not need any surgical incisions and can treat all abnormal veins, ensuring comprehensive and successful outcomes.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Varithena Vein Treatment?
Varithena is often recommended for adults with varicose veins related to venous insufficiency, a condition where blood flows backward and collects in the leg veins instead of moving efficiently upward toward the heart. Ideal candidates often experience symptoms such as aching, heaviness, swelling, cramping, or leg fatigue that worsens throughout the day. Many patients also seek treatment because prominent varicose veins affect how their legs look and feel.
Varithena is especially helpful for patients with larger, twisted Superficial veins that may be difficult to treat with heat-based procedures alone. Because the treatment is delivered as a foam, it can move through complex vein structures and reach areas that are not straight or easily accessible.
Varithena may also be an option for patients who have undergone prior vein treatments and continue to have residual or recurrent varicose veins. A comprehensive evaluation, including a detailed ultrasound exam, is essential to determine whether Varithena is the most appropriate treatment based on vein anatomy, symptom severity, and overall vein health.

What is Varithena™?
The procedure, known as Varithena, is a varicose vein treatment that uses a microfoam injection that effectively closes the veins. It is minimally invasive, and patients typically experience little to no pain at the injection or application site. Unlike traditional methods, Varithena does not require any incisions or stitches, and the entire treatment usually takes less than an hour. In most cases, a single session is sufficient to achieve noticeable results. Here’s what to expect:
Before the treatment:
Numbing medication is applied to the injection site, eliminating the need for additional anesthesia.
During treatment:
- Your physician administers a small amount of Varithena, which fills the targeted section of the vein and treats the vein wall, causing the diseased vein to collapse.
- As a result, blood flow is redirected to healthier nearby veins. The microfoam disperses upon contact with blood in these healthy veins.
- The same process is repeated for any other veins that require treatment.
- The most common side effects include mild leg pain or discomfort, bruising or pain at the injection site, and, rarely, potentially serious blood clots in the leg veins.
After treatment:
- Although allergic reactions are rare, you will be monitored for signs of such reactions for at least 10 minutes.
- Due to the minimally invasive nature of Varithena and its good tolerance by most patients, you can usually resume most normal activities on the same day.
- It is recommended to avoid intense exercise for one week following the treatment.
- For the next month, aim to walk for at least 10 minutes every day and avoid long periods of inactivity.
- Depending on your specific condition, additional treatment sessions may be required.

Varithena FAQs
How does Varithena compare to laser or radiofrequency vein treatments?
Varithena differs from laser or radiofrequency treatments because it doesn't rely on heat to close the vein. Like radiofrequency, it's also incision-free and requires only a few injections per vein. The specialized foam seals the vein from the inside. This approach can be beneficial for veins that are curved, close to the skin, or located near sensitive structures where heat-based treatments may not be ideal.
Is Varithena suitable for all types of varicose veins?
Varithena is most commonly used for larger varicose veins and veins associated with venous reflux. Very small spider veins or certain deep vein conditions may require other treatment options. A diagnostic ultrasound helps determine whether Varithena is appropriate for your specific vein pattern.
What results can I expect after a single Varithena treatment?
Many patients notice improvement in symptoms such as aching or heaviness within weeks of treatment. Visible changes in the treated veins typically develop gradually as the body absorbs the closed vein. Some patients achieve their desired results after one treatment, while others may need additional sessions depending on the extent of disease.
Does Varithena treatment require wearing compression stockings afterward?
Compression stockings are commonly recommended after Varithena treatment. They help support circulation, reduce swelling, and encourage optimal healing. Your provider will give specific instructions based on your treatment plan.
Can Varithena be repeated if new varicose veins appear?
Yes. Varithena can be repeated if new varicose veins develop in the future. Because venous disease can progress over time, ongoing monitoring and follow-up care are important for maintaining long-term vein health.
How soon can I return to exercise or travel after treatment?
Most patients return to normal daily activities the same day, with walking encouraged shortly after treatment to promote healthy circulation and healing. Strenuous exercise may be limited for a brief period. Travel is usually permitted soon after treatment, though individual recommendations may vary based on your evaluation and treatment extent.
