At Athens Vein & Aesthetics we offer Varithena® (polidocanol injectable foam) to treat varicose veins caused by problems with the great saphenous vein (GSV) and other related veins in the leg’s GSV system.
Varithena® improves symptoms related to or caused by varicose veins, as well as the appearance of varicose veins.
“Because Varithena® is an injectable that doesn’t require incisions or stitches, most patients report almost no pain during the minimally invasive procedure.”
Dr. Chris Malone
If you have any concerns about pain or anxiety during the procedure, we offer the Pro-Nox Nitrous Oxide System for pain and anxiety relief.
Athens Vein & Aesthetics is one of the few practices in the area offering this combination of oxygen and nitrous oxide which is effective enough to ease your pain and anxiety without additional medication.
After your in-office procedure, your provider will apply bandages after your procedure. A compression stocking is taken home and used the following four to five days.
Because Varithena® is well tolerated by most people, you’re likely to go back to most normal activities the same day. You should avoid heavy exercise for one week.
Our vein specialists use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to determine your eligibility for the procedure.
Just like with any medical procedure, there are associated risks and complications with Varithena®. Once we have a full assessment, we review your medical history to rule out other conditions that could present any risks.

Primary Care vs Vein Specialist
Primary care physician possesses a broad knowledge base that covers a range of ailments and diseases. While they can diagnose vein disease correctly, they may not have the same level of expertise in this specific area.
Therefore, if you suspect that you may be suffering from vein disease, it is often more prudent to seek the guidance of a vein treatment specialist directly. By doing so, you increase the chances of receiving an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment without the risk of being misdiagnosed or experiencing delayed care. Ultimately, a vein treatment specialist's specialized focus and expertise make them the ideal choice for addressing vein diseases comprehensively and effectively.
