Reduce visible varicose veins with Varithena™, a specialized microfoam sclerotherapy that treats diseased veins. We offer this minimally invasive vein procedure at Core Alliance Vein Specialists in Bloomfield, NJ, to restore leg comfort and mobility.
What Is Varithena?
Treat Large Varicose Veins Effectively Without Surgery
Varithena is a specialized microfoam sclerotherapy used to treat larger varicose veins by displacing blood and closing diseased veins from the inside. Guided by ultrasound, the foam spreads evenly, collapses the vein walls, and redirects blood to healthier veins. Varithena in Bloomfield, NJ, is often used when anatomy or vein size makes it the best option, sometimes following thermal ablation or VenaSeal for comprehensive vein care.

Why Trust Dr. Aron Rovner?
Dr. Aron Rovner, our board-certified physician with 20+ years of clinical experience, carefully evaluates your anatomy using advanced ultrasound guidance before recommending treatment. His minimally invasive, incision-free approach to vein care focuses on restoring your mobility and comfort with minimal downtime, so you can return to your normal routine quickly.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Varithena?
You may be a good candidate for Varithena if you have larger varicose veins, visible vein bulging, or symptoms like leg heaviness, aching, cramping, or swelling caused by venous reflux. Varithena is appropriate when specific vein patterns are present and may be recommended as a primary or complementary treatment, depending on your condition.
During your consultation, Dr. Rovner performs a thorough evaluation, including a detailed ultrasound exam to map your veins and identify reflux. He uses this information to determine whether Varithena or another minimally invasive treatment will best address your goals.
What to Expect During Varithena
Dr. Rovner begins by reviewing your ultrasound findings and marking the veins being treated. You remain awake as the microfoam medication is gently injected into the targeted vein using ultrasound guidance. The foam fills the diseased vein, causing it to collapse and seal closed. You may feel mild pressure, but discomfort is minimal. After treatment, compression is applied, and you can walk immediately and resume normal activities shortly afterward.
What Is Recovery Like After Varithena?
Recovery after Varithena is typically quick. You can walk immediately after your appointment and return to most activities the same day. You may be asked to wear compression stockings for a short period to support healing. Mild tenderness, firmness, or bruising along the treated vein is common and usually resolves on its own. Because the procedure is minimally invasive, you won’t need anesthesia and can get back to your routine without downtime.
How Is Varithena Different From Sclerotherapy?
Varithena uses a proprietary microfoam specifically formulated to treat larger varicose veins and veins affected by venous reflux. Unlike traditional liquid sclerotherapy, which is only suitable for spider veins and small varicose veins, foam expands to fully displace the blood within larger veins, providing more consistent contact with the vein wall. This triggers the vein to seal more effectively. Over time, your body absorbs the treated vein and redirects blood flow.
