Varithena Treatment for Collins, MS Patients
If you live in Collins, MS and you're dealing with symptoms of vein disease, the Vein Institute offers varithena treatment close to home. Our nearest office to Collins is in Hattiesburg, where Dr. J. Keith Thompson and our clinical team diagnose and treat vein conditions using modern, minimally invasive methods.
What Is Varithena?
An FDA-approved foam therapy Dr. Thompson uses to treat larger, more twisted varicose veins.
VarithenaĀ® is one of the vein ablation options Dr. J. Keith Thompson offers for larger or more twisted varicose veins. A specially formulated foam is injected into the diseased vein, causing it to close so blood reroutes through healthy veins nearby.

Who This Helps
Collins patients often come to the Vein Institute with one or more of these symptoms or questions about varithena:
- Larger, twisted varicose veins not well suited to simple injections
- Bulging veins with aching or heaviness
- Veins that are difficult to treat with standard sclerotherapy alone
How It Works & Recovery
Your visit begins with a straightforward check-in, followed by time with your provider to go over your symptoms and concerns. Most patients also have an ultrasound exam the same day, which helps confirm the diagnosis before any treatment is recommended.
Varithena is performed in-office with little downtime. Most patients resume normal activity quickly, often the same day as treatment.

Our clinical team includes a double board-certified vascular surgeon, a Certified Vascular Sonographer with more than 18 years of vein ultrasound experience, and a Nurse Practitioner trained directly by Dr. Thompson in sclerotherapy ā all focused exclusively on vein care.
