Varithena Vein Treatment in Fort Myers

Varithena is a prescription microfoam treatment for varicose veins. The injectable solution treats damaged veins impacted by chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). With Varithena vein treatment in Fort Myers, our team can reduce the uncomfortable symptoms associated with varicose veins that affect your daily life.

The injectable microfoam contains an active ingredient that irritates blood vessel walls, causing them to collapse. With a few injections, we can reroute blood flow to healthier veins and support relief from varicose veins.

Varithena helps reduce:

• Aching
• Heaviness
• Swelling
• Itching
• Throbbing
• Visible twisted veins

During your screening, your provider asks about your symptoms and discusses your medical history to confirm that Varithena makes sense for you.

In Fort Myers, we can reduce the discomfort of living with varicose veins without surgery or long downtimes.

Many common vein procedures include incisions, long recovery periods, and occasionally uncomfortable side effects. With Varithena, we can address varicose veins through small incisions during an in-office procedure.

Additionally, Varithena does not require downtime. We give you post-care instructions after your treatment, but you are free to return to most of your daily activities.

Another major benefit of treating varicose veins with Varithena is that it reduces the risk of further complications. If varicose veins go without treatment for long enough, they can accumulate high pressure that leads to a venous ulcer. These wounds struggle to heal without medical intervention and require ongoing care.

Most patients tolerate Varithena well. We do not require numbing for our injections, but we have a topical anesthetic available for your comfort.

During the treatment, you may feel pressure, mild stinging, or brief discomfort. Our providers use precise injection placement and skilled techniques that make your appointment tolerable.

Yes, many patients experience a mild reaction after their Varithena vein treatment in Fort Myers. Our team explains that these symptoms are normal and provides guidance on what you can expect.

After Varithena, you might experience:

• Swelling
• Bruising
• Redness
• Warmth
• Itchiness
• Tenderness
• A pulling sensation
• Localized pain

No, Varithena should be permanent in the treated veins. Once we inject the solution into varicose veins, they collapse and do not return. However, additional varicose veins can form, which our experts can also treat with Varithena.

Follow-up care helps us monitor your progress and recommend treatment if new vein concerns appear.
