Varithena® Treatment
in Rancho Cucamonga
Minimally invasive treatments designed to help you move comfortably, heal faster, and feel confident again.
Varithena® Treatment for Varicose Veins
At Inland Vein and Wound Specialists in Rancho Cucamonga, CA, Varithena® is used to treat symptomatic varicose veins caused by venous insufficiency. Varithena is a specialized injectable microfoam that is administered under ultrasound guidance to precisely target the diseased vein.
The foam fills the affected vein, causing it to collapse and seal closed. Blood is then naturally redirected to healthy veins, improving circulation and relieving symptoms such as leg heaviness, swelling, aching, and visible varicosities.
Varithena® is performed in our outpatient clinic, typically requires no incisions, and allows patients to return to normal activity quickly. It is particularly effective for larger or tortuous veins that may not be ideal for catheter-based treatments. Insurance coverage is commonly available when medical criteria are met.

Symptoms Grid
Spider veins
Spider veins are small, damaged blood vessels that appear close to the surface of the skin as red, blue, or purple lines. While they are often considered a cosmetic concern, they may also indicate underlying venous insufficiency. A professional vein evaluation can determine whether additional treatment is recommended to address the root cause.
Varicose Veins
Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that commonly develop when vein valves weaken and allow blood to pool in the legs. In addition to their visible appearance, they may cause aching, heaviness, swelling, itching, or fatigue. Without appropriate treatment, varicose veins can gradually worsen and increase the risk of skin changes, inflammation, or venous ulcers.
Swelling
Swelling in the lower legs or ankles frequently occurs when weakened veins allow fluid to accumulate in surrounding tissues. The swelling may become more noticeable later in the day, after long periods of standing, or during warm weather. Chronic swelling can indicate venous insufficiency and should be evaluated before additional complications develop.
Leg Pain
Persistent leg pain may be a sign that blood is not circulating efficiently through the veins. Patients often describe the discomfort as aching, throbbing, or a dull pressure that becomes worse after prolonged standing or sitting. Identifying the underlying cause through a comprehensive vein evaluation helps determine whether venous disease is contributing to your symptoms.
Leg Heaviness
Many patients with vein disease describe their legs as feeling unusually heavy, tired, or difficult to move after standing or walking for extended periods. This sensation occurs because inefficient blood flow increases pressure within the veins and surrounding tissues. Effective treatment often relieves heaviness while improving overall leg comfort and mobility.
Itching
Persistent itching around spider veins or varicose veins may result from increased pressure within the veins and inflammation affecting the surrounding skin. Although itching is often overlooked, it can become increasingly bothersome as vein disease progresses. Proper diagnosis and treatment can relieve irritation while addressing the underlying cause rather than only managing the symptom.
Burning Sensation
A burning or warm sensation in the legs may develop when abnormal veins become inflamed or blood flow is impaired. Some patients notice burning around visible veins, while others experience discomfort without obvious surface changes. A thorough vein examination helps determine whether venous insufficiency or another vascular condition is responsible for these symptoms.
Night Cramps
Frequent nighttime leg cramps are sometimes associated with chronic venous insufficiency, particularly when accompanied by swelling, heaviness, or visible veins. Poor circulation may contribute to muscle fatigue and cramping during periods of rest. Because many conditions can cause leg cramps, a professional evaluation is important to identify the exact source of the problem.
Skin Changes
Long-standing vein disease may cause noticeable skin changes, including discoloration, dryness, thickening, or hardening around the ankles and lower legs. These changes occur when increased venous pressure affects the surrounding tissues over time. Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent progression to more advanced complications such as venous ulcers.
Leg Fatigue
Leg fatigue is a common symptom of chronic venous insufficiency and is often described as persistent tiredness or weakness that worsens throughout the day. Patients may notice that their legs feel more comfortable after elevating them or resting. Treating the underlying vein condition frequently improves circulation, reduces fatigue, and enhances overall quality of life.

FAQs about Varithena®
Wondering if your leg pain, swelling, or visible veins could be signs of vein disease? Explore answers to the questions patients ask most often before scheduling a consultation.
-
Varithena® is a minimally invasive treatment that uses a specialized microfoam to close damaged veins affected by venous reflux. The foam is injected directly into the targeted vein, causing it to collapse and seal shut. Blood is naturally redirected to healthier veins, improving circulation and reducing symptoms associated with varicose veins.
-
Varithena® may be recommended for adults with symptomatic varicose veins caused by venous insufficiency. It is often an excellent option for patients experiencing leg pain, swelling, heaviness, fatigue, or visible bulging veins. A vein specialist will perform an ultrasound evaluation to determine if Varithena® is the right treatment for your condition.
-
During the procedure, your physician uses ultrasound guidance to inject Varithena® microfoam into the affected vein through a small needle. The foam fills the vein, causing it to close while blood reroutes through healthy veins. The procedure is performed in the office and typically takes less than an hour.
-
Most patients experience little to no discomfort during Varithena® treatment. Because the procedure only requires a small needle injection, it does not involve surgical incisions or stitches. Some patients may notice mild tenderness or bruising afterward, which usually resolves within a few days.
-
Recovery is generally quick. Most patients return to normal daily activities the same day or within 24 hours. Your provider may recommend wearing compression stockings and walking regularly for a short period to support healing and improve treatment results.
-
Clinical studies have shown that Varithena® effectively treats incompetent veins, improves blood flow, and reduces symptoms such as aching, swelling, heaviness, and leg fatigue. Many patients also notice a significant improvement in the appearance of their legs over the weeks following treatment.
-
Varithena® is generally considered safe when performed by an experienced vein specialist. Common side effects include temporary bruising, tenderness, mild swelling, or slight discomfort at the injection site. Serious complications are uncommon, and your physician will review all potential risks before treatment.
-
The treated vein is permanently closed and gradually absorbed by the body. However, because venous disease is progressive, new varicose veins may develop over time. Maintaining follow-up care with your vein specialist can help monitor your vein health and address future concerns early.
-
Many insurance providers, including Medicare, may cover Varithena® treatment when it is medically necessary and conservative therapies have not provided sufficient relief. Coverage varies by plan, so your provider's office can help verify your insurance benefits before your procedure.
-
Varithena® offers a minimally invasive alternative to surgery and can be especially beneficial for certain vein patterns that may be difficult to treat with thermal ablation. It requires no surgical incisions, has minimal downtime, and allows most patients to return to their normal routine quickly while achieving long-lasting symptom relief.
