Restore smoother, more comfortable legs with Varithena™ at Core Alliance Vein Specialists in Long Island, NY. This specialized microfoam treatment targets larger varicose veins and venous reflux to relieve heaviness, swelling, and leg discomfort.
What Is Varithena?
Relieve Larger Varicose Veins and Leg Discomfort
Varithena is an FDA-approved microfoam sclerotherapy used to treat larger varicose veins caused by venous reflux. During treatment, the foam is guided into the diseased vein under ultrasound, where it gently displaces blood and irritates the vein lining, causing it to close. Over time, your body naturally reroutes blood to healthier veins and absorbs the treated vein, helping reduce leg heaviness, swelling, cramping, and the appearance of visible bulging veins.
Benefits of Varithena
Varithena offers an effective, minimally invasive option for treating larger
varicose veins when other treatments may not be ideal.
Key benefits include:
- Effective treatment for larger veins affected by venous reflux
- No incisions, heat, or surgical downtime
- Ultrasound guidance for precise vein closure
- Quick return to normal daily activities
- Reduction in leg heaviness, swelling, and visible veins
Why Trust Dr. Aron Rovner?
Dr. Aron Rovner brings decades of experience treating complex causes of leg pain, giving him a unique perspective when evaluating vein disease. His background in diagnosing conditions that limit walking, endurance, and daily function allows him to identify when Varithena in Long Island, NY, is the right solution. Dr. Rovner specializes in minimally invasive, incision-free treatments that help restore comfort and mobility without disrupting your life.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Varithena?
You may be a good candidate for Varithena if you have larger varicose veins caused by venous reflux and experience symptoms like leg heaviness, aching, swelling, or fatigue. This treatment is often recommended when vein anatomy makes thermal ablation less suitable.
During your consultation, Dr. Rovner performs a detailed evaluation that includes a medical history review and ultrasound imaging to assess blood flow and vein structure. Drawing on his experience diagnosing leg pain and functional limitations, he determines whether Varithena is the most effective, minimally invasive option for restoring your comfort and mobility.
What to Expect During Varithena
During your Varithena treatment, Dr. Rovner uses ultrasound guidance to map the affected vein and confirm the treatment plan. You remain awake as the microfoam is gently injected into the diseased vein. The sclerosant foam displaces blood and causes the vein walls to close without heat or incisions. You may feel mild pressure, but discomfort is minimal. After treatment, Dr. Rovner applies compression and reviews your aftercare instructions.
What Is Recovery Like After Varithena?
You can walk immediately after your treatment, and most patients return to work and normal daily activities the same day. You must wear compression stockings for a short period of time to support healing. Mild tenderness, firmness, or slight bruising along the treated vein can occur, but these side effects resolve quickly. As your body gradually absorbs the closed vein, you’ll begin to notice improvements in leg heaviness, swelling, and overall comfort.
How Does Varithena Differ From Other Vein Treatments?
Varithena uses a proprietary microfoam that allows medication to fully contact the vein walls, even in larger or irregularly shaped veins. Unlike thermal ablation, it does not rely on heat, and unlike VenaSeal, it does not use adhesive. Varithena in Long Island, NY, is often used when your vein anatomy makes other minimally invasive vein treatments less effective or as a complementary option after addressing the main source of venous reflux.
