VARITHENA
Varithena is a microfoam composed of a medical detergent called Polidocanol mixed with a specific gas mixture of oxygen and carbon dioxide. This procedure uses ultrasound guidance for precise administration of the Varithena foam into the diseased vein. The medication irritates the inner lining of the diseased vein, causing it to close. Varithena is especially beneficial and effective in treating large or tortuous varicose veins.

FAQ
How is Varithena Performed:
Varithena is performed in the office by our physician in about an hour. Once the area is clean and sterilized, the provider will inject a small amount of anesthesia at the insertion site. The vein is accessed using ultrasound guidance and the Varithena is administered into the vein. The injected solution will irritate the walls of the problematic veins causing them to collapse and close over time. Your body will then reroute the blood to healthy veins to improve circulation and the symptoms you may be experiencing.
What is recovery like after Varithena?
Recovery is very quick after the Varithena procedure and most patients return to normal activities right away. Some of the treated areas may be tender to touch and bruised, but this is very normal. We are happy to answer any questions or concerns, if you call or text the office. After the treatment, your provider will apply your medical compression stocking or wrap your leg in an ACE bandage. You will wear compression stockings during the day for at least three weeks after your procedure to ensure that the treated veins close completely. You will be asked to avoid any weight lifting or heavy exercise during the first week as well. Light cardio activity is fine and walking daily is especially encouraged. Before you leave your Varithena appointment, we will get you scheduled for an ultrasound follow up. This follow up is scheduled for the following week to ensure that the vein is closing properly.

Such lovely staff. The office is peaceful, and the doctor is attentive and kind.
Dr Alvarez-Tostado is an amazing doctor. I credit him with saving my feet. I had an ulcer that would not heal. With his persistence and dedication my wound finally healed. He also helped me quit smoking. He is very kind and really cares about his patients. Thank you Dr. Alvarez-Tostado!
Excellent physician! Highly recommend Solon Vein!
I had varicose veins that had been causing me pain, but two hospitals had said they wouldn’t treat me because it wasn’t covered by my insurance. Solon Vein Clinic was welcoming and listened to my concerns. They provided treatment options right away and had outstanding follow-up visits and care. I now live pain free!
I’m thrilled with the results of my sclerotherapy procedure! From my first appointment, I felt comfortable with my treatments. Everyone was incredibly friendly and made me feel at ease. I’m so glad I found the Solon Vein Clinic and would definitively recommend them to everyone.
Very professional & friendly.
Everyone is super nice and welcoming! After several treatments my spider veins have improved immensely with the expert care I received. I can’t be more thankful for the careful attention I received. I was listened to and achieved the desired results quickly given the fact I had a lot of spider veins.
I have had vein problems for 20 years. The staff at Solon Vein Clinic have been helpful and patient throughout the treatment process. I highly recommended this office.
I can’t say enough wonderful things about the Solon Vein Clinic! From the office girls to the doctor, everyone is fantastic! Dr Alvarez-Tostado really takes his time to assess and treat my veins and for the first time in years, I was able to wear shorts confidently. I would definitively recommend.
Thank you for thorough exam and communication. Friendly also.
