Nearly Painless Treatment to Eliminate Your Varicose Veins
If you’re among the 25 million Americans suffering from varicose
veins, you may be under the mistaken impression you’ll have to either
live with them or undergo painful surgery to achieve smoother legs. But
having raised, gnarled veins isn’t always only a cosmetic problem,
as it can indicate a serious physical condition called chronic venous
insufficiency. The former standard treatments for varicose veins, such
as vein stripping, are consider dated today because of their unpredictable
success rates and lengthy recovery periods. Advancements in varicose vein
treatments have significantly improved treatment outcomes patients can
expect today.
How Does Varithena Treat Varicose Veins?
Today’s varicose vein treatment has arrived. Rather than requiring
surgical incisions or multiple needle sticks,
Varithena treatment is usually delivered in just 1 or 2 needle sticks, and most
people only need a single treatment session. Varithena is an FDA-approved,
minimally invasive, nonsurgical varicose vein treatment that is fast and
simple. During the in-office procedure, the Varithena gentle microfoam
is delivered to the affected vein, and as the vein is filled with the
foam, it then spasms, collapses, and closes. Blood flow then shifts to
the healthier veins nearby once the malfunctioning vein has collapsed.
Most people resume their normal activities the same day as treatment,
although heavy exercise should be avoided for 1 week.
Your Relief from Varicose Veins Is Closer than You Think
If you’re experiencing symptoms of varicose veins, speak to your
doctor. Varicose veins can be more than just a cosmetic problem, and many
people experience leg heaviness, itchiness, swelling, and numbness that
could indicate chronic venous insufficiency. Our doctors at St. John’s
Health can help you get back to living a pain-free life with the Varithena
procedure, which is covered by most insurance providers, including Medicare.
