Overview of Treatment: The document discusses a modern and gentle treatment for varicose veins using microfoam prepared with VARIXIO®. This procedure, known as sclerotherapy, is minimally invasive and typically performed in a clinic without the need for anesthesia.

Procedure Details: During the procedure, a doctor injects microfoam into the vein, causing it to close over time. The body gradually reabsorbs the treated vein, improving its appearance and alleviating symptoms such as discomfort, heaviness, and swelling. Multiple sessions may be necessary for optimal results.

Advantages of VARIXIO® Microfoam: Unlike conventional foams prepared with room air, VARIXIO® uses physiological gases that are absorbed more rapidly by the body, potentially reducing residual gas in circulation post-treatment. This makes it a safer and more effective option.

Indications for Use: The treatment is particularly recommended for patients with known or suspected Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO), those who have experienced side effects from previous sclerotherapy, individuals with skin types or vein locations that increase pigmentation risk, and those with a history of migraines or visual aura.

Effectiveness of Microfoam: Microfoam is preferred over liquid because it occupies the vein more completely, displaces blood, and maximizes contact with the vein wall, enhancing the treatment's effectiveness.
