Ablation of superficial veins with Microfoam
Heaviness. Discomfort. Itching. Living with varicose veins can be challenging, but treating them doesn’t have to be
WA Quick, Nearly Painless Procedure
Varicose vein therapy uses an injectable foam that closes diseased veins. Microfoam is a minimally invasive option, and in clinical trials only 4.0% of patients reported pain at the injection site. No cuts or stitches are required, and the procedure typically takes under an hour. Most patients see results after just one session.
What Treatment Is Like
Unlike other foams, Microfoam is FDA-approved. During treatment, a physician delivers the foam into the affected veins, closing them so blood can be rerouted through healthier ones.
Will my insurance cover treatment?
Most Medicare and private insurance plans cover this treatment, though approval may depend on the severity of your vein disease and related symptoms. Your doctor’s office can help you verify your coverage.
WHY MICROFOAM IS DIFFERENT
This treatment requires no incisions, sedation, or general anesthesia. Doctors may recommend Microfoam because it:
- Works on veins of varying sizes throughout the leg
- Doesn’t require inserting a wire inside the vein
- Can be administered with just one or two injections per session
- Doesn’t use heat in the process
- Dissolves naturally in the bloodstream, leaving nothing permanent behind
Proven, Reliable Results
Clinical studies show that most patients treated with Microfoam experienced benefits after a single session, including:
- Relief from symptoms such as heaviness, aching, swelling, throbbing, and itching
- Noticeable improvement in vein appearance, reported by both patients and physicians
What Causes Varicose Veins?
Several factors increase the likelihood of varicose veins, including family history, age, excess weight, pregnancy, and jobs that require prolonged standing.
- Small vein valves normally push blood back to the heart against gravity.
- When these valves weaken, blood may flow backward and pool, creating varicose veins.
Symptoms of Varicose veins
Not all varicose veins are visible. For many people, they lead to discomfort and symptoms such as:
Heaviness
Aching
Swelling
Throbbing
