Varithena

20 Feb Varithena: A Revolution in the Treatment of Varicose Veins

Affecting nearly 23% of the US population, varicose veins are most prevalent among an estimated eleven million adult men and women between 40 and 80. Varicose veins are enlarged veins— larger than 3mm in diameter—that have a rope-like appearance. They form when the valves of the vein wall weaken, rendering them incapable of pushing blood toward the heart. Consequently, blood pools in the veins, giving them a bulging appearance.

28 Jan Varithena: The Least Invasive Solution for Varicose Veins

When the valves within your veins weaken owing to wear and tear or hereditary reasons, they’re unable to push blood back to the heart. This inability to pump blood effectively leads to it flowing backward and pooling in your veins. As a result, your veins bulge and look unsightly in a blue-purple hue. This condition is called varicose veins. In extreme cases, the condition causes pain, swelling, and discomfort. Traditionally, surgical methods have been used to provide relief from the symptoms of varicose veins. However, conventional surgery is an invasive procedure that requires extensive downtime to recover.
