Dr. Bardwil Performs the First Varithena® Treatment in Houston
HOUSTON, Nov. 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Michael Bardwil, M.D., at Texas Vein & Cosmetic Specialists has performed the first Varithena treatment in Houston, Texas.
Varithena is the newest, FDA-approved treatment for varicose veins.
BTG International, the company that produces Varithena, is incrementally releasing it into the U.S. Dr. Bardwil was approached by Varithena to be one of the first vascular surgeons to have access to this exciting new therapy, because of his established reputation as Houston's leader in the treatment of venous disease.

Although it was only approved earlier this year by the FDA, it's development has been followed by knowledgeable vein surgeons for about 10 years. Unlike many medications, Varithena was developed for use in the United States. This required extensive studies to demonstrate safety and efficacy.
Dr. Bardwil states, "I'm proud to have performed the first Varithena treatment in Houston. Varithena represents a potential landmark devlopment for treatment of leg vein problems and I'm thrilled to be able to offer it to my patients."
