ClariVein is a highly effective varicose vein removal treatment that merges two approaches: a sclerosing agent and mechanical destruction of the vein. ClariVein is a specially designed infusion catheter with a rotating wire tip for 360-degree dispersion of the sclerosing agent.
ClariVein is a great treatment for venous insufficiency and venous reflux.
During your personal consultation. Dr. Gioscia explains the ClariVein procedure in detail so you know what to expect, feel more prepared, and have time to ask questions. Dr. Gioscia can help you decide if ClariVein is a good choice for you.
What Is ClariVein?
ClariVein is an advanced, mechanochemical ablation (MOCA) treatment for varicose veins.
Unlike thermal methods, the ClariVein procedure uses a rotating infusion catheter to deliver a sclerosing agent into the vein, sealing it without heat, incisions, or anesthesia.
This non-thermal ClariVein ablation technique provides a quick, comfortable solution for patients seeking long-term relief from venous insufficiency and varicose veins.
At the Vein Institute of Westchester, Dr Michael Gioscia performs ClariVein treatment for patients throughout Westchester County, NYC, and Southern Connecticut in a safe, comfortable office environment.

How the ClariVein Procedure Works
The ClariVein device uses an infusion catheter with a rotating wire that delivers a 360° dispersion of sclerosant into the vein. This dual-action mechanochemical ablation approach combines mechanical disruption with chemical closure to ensure complete and lasting vein sealing.
Step-by-Step: The ClariVein Treatment Process
- Ultrasound Mapping: The vein is identified under ultrasound guidance.
- Local Anesthesia: Minimal anesthesia ensures comfort without sedation.
- Catheter Insertion: The slim ClariVein catheter is placed via a pin-sized entry.
- Mechanical + Chemical Action: The rotating tip disrupts the vein wall while injecting sclerosant.
- Vein Closure: The vein seals, and blood reroutes to healthy vessels.
- Immediate Recovery: You walk out in minutes, with no downtime.
This minimally invasive ClariVein varicose vein treatment takes about 30 minutes and requires no hospital stay.
ClariVein vs Other Varicose Vein Treatments
ClariVein vs Other Varicose Vein Treatments
Both are non-thermal ablation methods. VenaSeal uses a medical adhesive (“glue”), while ClariVein combines gentle mechanical rotation with a sclerosing solution. If you’re researching ClariVein vs VenaSeal, Dr Gioscia will guide you based on your vein type, comfort preference, and insurance eligibility.
ClariVein vs Radiofrequency Ablation
Unlike radiofrequency vein ablation or laser therapy, ClariVein treatment is entirely non-thermal, eliminating heat-related risks, bruising, and the need for tumescent anesthesia. Patients typically resume work the same day.
ClariVein vs Traditional Vein Stripping
Old surgical methods required incisions and general anesthesia. ClariVein ablation achieves the same outcome through a needle puncture, offering faster healing, no scarring, and minimal discomfort.
