Benefits of Varithena vein injections used with ultrasound imaging at our, MS office include:
- Causing the affected veins to collapse and seal, diverting blood to healthier veins

Is Varithena Right for Me?
Candidates for Varithena vein procedure include individuals with symptomatic varicose veins seeking a minimally invasive treatment option. This treatment is ideal for patients looking for a nonsurgical method to address vein issues without requiring multiple injections or incisions. It is suitable for treating different-sized varicose veins and those who prefer a treatment with minimal downtime and recovery. The safety of Varithena for varicose veins has been well-documented, making it a reliable option for many individuals who want effective relief from the discomfort and cosmetic concerns caused by varicose veins.
What Can I Expect from Varithena?
Your Varithena vein procedure will take around 30 minutes to perform. Most patients who are candidates may only require a single treatment, but some may require multiple sessions. Dr. Thompason will explain how long it takes for Varithena to work. Many patients notice visible improvements and reduced pain shortly after their treatment, though full results may take a few weeks. Prior to injecting Varithena vein treatment into the dysfunctional vein, Dr. Thompson may apply a numbing gel to the area. Then, using an ultrasound, he will inject the sclerosing foam into your varicose vein. The foam works by causing the vein to collapse, and blood flow is then redirected to healthier veins. Afterward, you should notice less pain and visibility of your varicose veins. There is no downtime, although you may need to avoid strenuous activity for a few days.

What Can I Expect After My Varithena Treatment?
There is no downtime needed for recovery after the Varithena vein procedure, and you should be able to get back to your normal activities right away. However, we suggest avoiding strenuous exercise for a few days. Mild bruising, swelling, or discomfort around the treated vein is common but usually resolves within a week or two. Over time, the treated vein will close, leading to noticeable improvements in the appearance of varicose veins. Dr. Thompson may recommend wearing compression stockings for a short period to enhance your results.
