Results from Varithena treatment

More than 600,000 treatments have been performed, delivering relief to people looking to feel better and look better — in as little as one treatment.

Proven, reliable results

In clinical studies, the majority of patients treated with Varithena experienced these results after just one treatment:

 Improved symptoms

Including heaviness, achiness, swelling, throbbing and itching

 Improved vein appearance

In assessments by both patients and physicians

In Varithena pivotal trials, only 3.4% of patients needed to re-treat an area included in the initial treatment session.1

Its safety has been shown in 1,333 patients in 12 clinical trials.

Treatment can be life-changing

Thurman’s veins stuck out in his thigh and lower leg and would hurt at night, making it hard to sleep. Aching and pain prevented him from doing what he wanted to do. But he didn’t want to have his veins stripped, so he delayed treatment and suffered with the pain and immobility — until he had them treated with Varithena.

Indications

Varithena (polidocanol injectable foam) 1% is a prescription medicine used to treat varicose veins caused by problems with the great saphenous vein (GSV) and other related veins in the leg's GSV system. Varithena improves symptoms related to or caused by varicose veins, and the appearance of varicose veins.

Important safety information

You should not be treated with Varithena if you are allergic to polidocanol or have clots in your blood vessels. Severe allergic reactions have been reported in people treated with liquid forms of polidocanol and some patients have died from these reactions. Varithena is a foam made from polidocanol. A healthcare professional will observe you for signs of allergic reactions for at least 10 minutes after you are treated with Varithena. Tell your doctor about all your medical conditions, including if you have:

  • Arterial disease (a disease of the blood vessels)
  • Reduced mobility
  • A history of blood clots in the veins or lungs
  • Had major surgery in the past 3 months
  • Recently had a long hospital stay
  • Become pregnant or were recently pregnant

The most common side effects seen with Varithena are leg pain or discomfort, injection site bruising or pain, and potentially serious blood clots in the leg veins. These are not all the possible side effects of Varithena. Tell your healthcare provider about any side effect that bothers you or that does not go away. You can also report side effects to the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088. Varithena is administered by your doctor. Doctors using Varithena must be experienced in vein procedures and trained in using Varithena.
