What Is Varithena?
Relieve Symptoms From Larger Varicose Veins
Varithena is a specialized microfoam sclerotherapy used to treat larger varicose veins and venous insufficiency. During treatment, a proprietary foam is injected into the diseased vein, where it displaces the blood and causes the vein walls to collapse and seal shut. Over time, your body absorbs the treated vein, allowing healthier veins to restore proper blood circulation. Varithena is often used in Hollywood, FL, as a standalone option or as a secondary treatment following thermal ablation or VenaSeal to address residual or complex veins.

Why Trust Dr. Aron Rovner?
Varithena in Hollywood, FL, is performed by Dr. Aron Rovner, a board-certified and fellowship-trained physician with advanced expertise in minimally invasive vein care. His extensive training allows him to precisely map vein disease and select Varithena when it offers the most effective, least disruptive solution. Dr. Rovner focuses on treating the underlying vein problem with incision-free techniques that prioritize comfort and a rapid return to normal activity.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Varithena?
You may be a good candidate for Varithena in Hollywood, FL, if you have larger varicose veins or persistent venous reflux that continues after your initial treatment. This option is often ideal when veins are twisted, difficult to access with heat-based methods, or remain symptomatic despite prior ablation or closure, causing heaviness, swelling, or aching.
During your consultation, Dr. Rovner performs a detailed clinical evaluation and ultrasound vein mapping to identify the source of your symptoms. Based on vein size, anatomy, and blood flow patterns, he determines whether Varithena is the right treatment for you.
What to Expect During Varithena
During your Varithena treatment, Dr. Rovner uses ultrasound guidance to access the affected vein. You remain awake as the microfoam medication is injected into the targeted area, allowing it to travel through the diseased vein and seal it closed. You may feel mild pressure or a brief sensation as the foam circulates, but no pain. After your treatment, compression is applied, and you are encouraged to walk immediately before returning to your normal activities.
What Is Recovery Like After Varithena?
You can expect to walk immediately after treatment and resume most daily activities the same day. You may notice mild tenderness, tightness, or bruising along the treated vein, which usually resolves over time. Wearing compression stockings helps support healing and improve results. You should avoid strenuous exercise for a short period, but normal movement is encouraged. Follow-up visits ensure your veins are responding as expected.
Is Varithena a Primary or Secondary Vein Treatment?
Varithena is most commonly used as a secondary treatment after thermal ablation or VenaSeal, especially when residual, branching, or hard-to-reach veins remain symptomatic. These veins may continue to cause heaviness, aching, or visible bulging if left untreated. In some situations, Varithena may also be used as a primary option when vein anatomy makes heat-based closure less suitable. Your treatment plan is tailored to the specific pattern of your vein disease.
