Variped Injection

About

Variped Injection is a sclerosing agent primarily used for the treatment of uncomplicated varicose veins and spider veins. It works by irritating the lining of the blood vessel (endothelium), causing it to swell, stick together, and eventually scar shut. This process, known as sclerotherapy, effectively closes off the treated vein, redirecting blood flow to healthier veins nearby. The procedure helps to reduce the appearance of unsightly veins and alleviate associated symptoms such as pain, aching, and swelling. Variped Injection is typically administered in a clinical setting by a trained healthcare professional, offering a minimally invasive alternative to surgical interventions for venous insufficiency.
