How does the Varithena® Procedure work in treating varicose veins?
The Varithena® procedure utilizes innovative techniques to address varicose veins effectively. Here's how it works:
Microfoam injection: During the procedure, your vein specialist injects Varithena® directly into the varicose vein or through a small catheter. The number of injections depends on the extent of your condition.
Vein closure and collapse: Once injected, Varithena® microfoam fills and treats the affected vein segment, causing it to collapse. This prevents blood from flowing backward down the leg (reflux).
Redirecting blood flow: After the vein collapses, blood is redirected to nearby healthy veins, improving overall circulation.
Small catheter: The procedure typically takes 20 to 30 minutes and is performed on an outpatient basis, allowing you to return home the same day.
