Vein disease is common, and it's treatable. If you're in Collins, MS, the Vein Institute's Hattiesburg office provides spider vein treatment using modern, minimally invasive techniques — the same approach used across all of our South Mississippi locations.
Minimally invasive treatment to reduce the visibility of small, thread-like veins on the legs and feet.
Dr. J. Keith Thompson most often treats spider veins with sclerotherapy, injecting a solution directly into the vein that causes it to collapse and gradually fade from view. Larger feeder (reticular) veins contributing to the spider veins can be addressed in the same series of treatments.

Collins patients often come to the Vein Institute with one or more of these symptoms or questions about spider veins:
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.
There is little to no downtime after sclerotherapy. Patients typically wear compression garments for a period after treatment and often need multiple sessions, spaced about three weeks apart, to reach the desired result.
The drive from Collins to our Hattiesburg clinic is approx. 30 mi (about 40 min), making it a convenient option for Collins, MS patients who want a vein-focused practice rather than a general referral.

Sclerotherapy requires a series of injections, and multiple sessions are often needed to achieve the full result — one round is generally not enough to clear all visible veins.
We advise wearing compression garments after treatment to support healing and improve results, and scheduling follow-up sessions roughly three weeks apart.
Spider veins can look cosmetic at first, but they can also cause aching or discomfort and tend to worsen over time, which is why an evaluation is worth scheduling.
