Struggling With Large or Twisted Varicose Veins in Norwalk?
If you have varicose veins that are large, twisted, or branching — the kind that bulge visibly beneath the skin and cause throbbing, aching, and swelling — Varithena® may be the ideal treatment. This FDA-approved microfoam is specially designed to treat even the most complex, tortuous veins that other procedures can struggle to reach.
At Ohio Vein & Vascular in Norwalk, we offer Varithena® as a powerful, non-surgical option for patients who want real results without the recovery time of traditional surgery. The procedure is performed right here in our Norwalk office, typically takes less than 30 minutes, and most patients are back to their normal routine within a day.
What Is Varithena®? How Does It Work?
Varithena® is a prescription microfoam that’s injected directly into a diseased varicose vein through a fine needle or catheter. Unlike liquid sclerosants, the Varithena® microfoam expands inside the vein — displacing blood and making full contact with the vein wall, even in large, winding veins that would be difficult to treat with liquid alone. This thorough contact causes the vein wall to collapse and seal shut. Over time, the treated vein is naturally absorbed by your body and blood is rerouted through nearby healthy veins.
What makes Varithena® especially effective is its ability to treat veins of virtually any size and shape — including the great saphenous vein (GSV), accessory saphenous veins, and the visible varicose tributaries branching off from them. It works without heat, without laser energy, and without the tumescent anesthesia injections that thermal procedures require. Only local anesthesia is needed, making it one of the most comfortable advanced vein treatments available.
The entire Varithena® procedure is guided by ultrasound, allowing your Norwalk specialist to visualize the foam in real time as it fills and collapses each targeted vein — ensuring precise, thorough treatment.
Why Patients in Norwalk Choose Varithena®
Varithena® offers a unique set of advantages that make it ideal for patients with large, complex, or hard-to-treat varicose veins. Here’s why our Norwalk patients choose it:
FDA-Approved Treatment
Varithena® is the only FDA-approved microfoam specifically designed for the treatment of varicose veins caused by venous reflux — proven safe and effective in clinical trials.
Treats Large & Twisted Veins
Unlike liquid sclerotherapy, the expanding microfoam reaches even the most tortuous, winding varicose veins — including veins that other treatments can't fully access.
No Heat, No Laser
Varithena® works without thermal energy — eliminating the risk of heat-related nerve injury and removing the need for tumescent anesthesia along the vein.
Non-Surgical & Minimally Invasive
No incisions, no stitches, no operating room. Varithena® is delivered through a simple injection — performed right here in our comfortable Norwalk office.
Quick Procedure, Fast Recovery
The entire Varithena® treatment typically takes under 30 minutes. Most patients return to normal activities within a day — many the same day.
Improves Symptoms & Appearance
Patients report significant improvement in aching, throbbing, heaviness, and swelling — plus a visibly smoother leg appearance as treated veins collapse and fade.
Ultrasound-Guided Precision
Your specialist watches the microfoam fill each vein in real time via ultrasound — ensuring complete, precise treatment of every targeted vessel.
Ideal After Other Treatments
Varithena® is also highly effective as a follow-up treatment to close remaining branch veins after RFA or ClariVein® has sealed the trunk vein.
What Conditions Does Varithena® Treat?
Varithena® is designed to treat veins affected by venous reflux — the valve failure that allows blood to flow backward and pool in your legs. At our Norwalk clinic, we use Varithena® to treat:
- Varicose Veins — large, bulging, twisted veins on the legs caused by underlying valve failure, including veins too tortuous for catheter-based treatments
- Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) — the progressive condition driving blood pooling, heaviness, skin changes, and increasing discomfort
- Leg and Foot Swelling — chronic edema caused by the venous pressure that Varithena® directly reduces by closing the malfunctioning veins
- Restless Legs — when the irresistible urge to move your legs is driven by venous reflux, treating the source veins can bring lasting relief
- Residual branch veins — visible varicose tributaries remaining after RFA or ClariVein® has closed the trunk vein
Whether your varicose veins are a primary concern or a remaining issue after previous treatment, Varithena® at our Norwalk office can deliver the results you’re looking for.
What You May Have Already Tried Before Discovering Varithena®
If large varicose veins have been part of your life for a while, you’ve probably explored your options. Many of our Norwalk-area patients come to us after trying:
- Compression stockings — they manage symptoms but can’t collapse or close the enlarged, twisted veins causing the problem
- Leg elevation and rest — temporarily reduces swelling and aching, but the relief disappears as soon as you’re upright again
- Over-the-counter pain medication — dulls the ache but does nothing to address the vein disease driving it
- Previous vein treatments that didn’t fully resolve the problem — some patients have had RFA or laser ablation on a trunk vein but still have visible, symptomatic branch veins remaining
- Avoiding treatment altogether — worried about surgery, pain, or downtime, so you’ve been living with the veins and adjusting your life around them
Varithena® is designed to solve exactly these challenges. Its expanding microfoam reaches veins that are too large, too twisted, or too branching for other treatments — and it does so without surgery, without heat, and with minimal downtime.
What to Expect During Your Varithena® Procedure in Norwalk
