Spider Vein Treatment 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 spider vein treatment using modern, minimally invasive techniques — the same approach used across all of our South Mississippi locations.

What Is Spider Veins?

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.

Who This Helps

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

  • Thin, web-like red, blue, or purple veins near the skin's surface
  • Mild aching or burning over visible veins
  • Veins that appear to worsen or spread over time
  • Discomfort after long periods of standing

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.

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.
