Varithena at Heart Vascular and Leg Center

At the Heart Vascular and Leg Center, we offer Venaseal, a revolutionary, non-surgical treatment for varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). This innovative procedure uses a specially formulated medical adhesive to gently and permanently close faulty veins, redirecting blood flow to healthier veins nearby. Venaseal is a safe, effective, and virtually pain-free alternative to traditional vein treatments—no heat, no tumescent anesthesia, and no downtime required.

Venaseal Procedure

At Heart Vascular and Leg Center, your care and comfort are our top priorities. Our experienced vascular specialists will guide you every step of the way to ensure you feel confident and informed before and during your treatment. Here’s how you can prepare:

  • Provide a complete medical history and disclose any current symptoms
  • List all medications and supplements you’re currently taking
  • Alert us to any allergies, especially to polidocanol or latex
  • Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing on your treatment day
  • Arrange for someone to drive you home afterward

During the procedure, your specialist uses ultrasound to guide a small needle or catheter into the affected vein. Varithena’s microfoam is then injected, filling the vein and causing it to collapse and seal shut. The foam is quickly absorbed, and blood is rerouted through nearby healthy veins. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and can resume light activities the same day

Candidates for Varithena

You may be a candidate for Varithena if you are experiencing symptoms related to venous reflux or varicose veins, including:

  • Aching, heaviness, or throbbing in the legs

  • Visible varicose veins, including bulging or twisted veins

  • Swelling in the legs or ankles

  • Skin changes like darkening or thickening around the ankles

  • Venous ulcers or open sores

Benefits of Varithena Treatment

Varithena offers a range of benefits for individuals seeking relief from varicose veins without surgery:

  • Minimally invasive and non-surgical
  • No incisions or stitches required
  • Quick in-office procedure—usually under 30 minutes
  • Minimal downtime—most patients resume normal activity the same day
  • High patient satisfaction with both cosmetic and symptom improvement
  • Effective for veins of various sizes and shapes, including tortuous veins

At Heart Vascular and Leg Center, we combine advanced treatments like Varithena with compassionate care to help you reclaim healthier legs and a better quality of life.

How is Varithena Performed?

At Heart Vascular and Leg Center, our vascular specialists prioritize your safety, comfort, and results throughout the Varithena procedure. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Consultation & Imaging – A detailed evaluation, including ultrasound imaging, is performed to map your vein anatomy and determine the best treatment approach.
  • Foam Injection – Varithena microfoam is injected into the targeted vein using a small needle. The foam fills and collapses the vein, allowing the body to absorb it over time.
  • Guided Treatment – The procedure is performed under ultrasound guidance to ensure accuracy and effectiveness, especially for veins that are twisted or hard to treat with traditional methods.
  • Quick Completion – Most treatments take less than 30 minutes, and no anesthesia or incisions are required.

Angioplasty Recovery Time

One of the major benefits of Varithena is the quick recovery. Patients typically resume normal activities the same day or shortly after treatment. You may be asked to wear compression stockings for a few days to support healing and optimize results. Mild bruising, tenderness, or tightness in the treated leg may occur but usually resolves within days. Walking regularly after the procedure is encouraged to support healthy blood flow, though strenuous activity should be avoided for about a week.

What to Expect After After Varithena Treatment ?

Recovery after Varithena treatment is generally quick and uncomplicated, allowing most patients to return to their normal activities within a day. However, for optimal results and long-term vein health, following post-treatment guidelines is essential. After the procedure, you may experience mild side effects such as slight bruising, tenderness, or tightness in the treated area. These symptoms are temporary and typically resolve within a few days. Walking shortly after the procedure is encouraged to promote healthy blood flow and aid healing. You may be advised to wear compression stockings for a few days to support vein closure and enhance comfort.

To maintain the improvements achieved with Varithena, your provider may recommend lifestyle habits such as: Keeping your legs elevated when possible Avoiding prolonged sitting or standing Staying active with low-impact exercise like walking Maintaining a healthy weight to reduce pressure on your veins Wearing compression garments as directed By following your provider’s instructions and staying proactive about your vascular health, you can enjoy long-term relief from varicose vein symptoms and improved leg appearance.
