Sclerotherapy for Collins, MS Patients

Vein disease is common, and it's treatable. If you're in Collins, MS, the Vein Institute's Hattiesburg office provides sclerotherapy using modern, minimally invasive techniques — the same approach used across all of our South Mississippi locations.

What Is Sclerotherapy?

A quick, in-office injection treatment that closes off spider veins and small varicose veins with little to no downtime.

During sclerotherapy, a solution is injected directly into the affected vein. The solution irritates the vein wall so it collapses and is gradually absorbed by the body, while blood naturally reroutes through healthier veins nearby.

Who This Helps

Collins patients often come to the Vein Institute with one or more of these symptoms or questions about sclerotherapy:

  • Visible spider veins or small varicose veins
  • Mild aching near surface-level veins
  • Veins that haven't improved with conservative measures like compression stockings

How It Works & Recovery

Expect a relaxed, unhurried visit: check-in with our front desk team, then time with your provider to discuss your specific concerns. An in-office ultrasound is often recommended to confirm which veins need treatment, and we'll walk you through next steps before you leave.

Sclerotherapy is quick and causes minimal discomfort. Most patients resume normal activities the same day and wear compression garments afterward. On average, patients need a minimum of 4–6 treatments spaced about three weeks apart to reach the desired result.
