Minimally Invasive, Non-Surgical Varicose Treatment with Varithena®

Varithena® does not require any incisions or general anesthesia. It takes in the our office in less than an hour to administer Varithena®.

Types of Veins Treated

Varithena® treats a wide range of varicose veins in the GSV system, including:

• Tortuous (twisted) veins
• Veins above and below the knee
• Veins with small, medium, and large diameters
• Veins previously treated with other methods

Varithena® does not treat all forms of varicose veins. Please talk with Dr. Oblonsky to see if Varithena® may be right for you.

How Varithena® works

Dr. Oblonsky administers a small amount of Varithena® through a catheter or by direct injection into the malfunctioning vein.

The Varithena® microfoam fills and treats the desired section of the vein.

The diseased vein collapses and the microfoam is deactivated.

When the malfunctioning vein collapses, blood flow shifts to healthier veins nearby.
