ClariVein Treatment for Columbia, MS Patients
Columbia, MS is served by our Hattiesburg clinic, where our team offers clarivein treatment alongside in-office ultrasound diagnosis. Whether this is your first time seeking vein care or you've been managing symptoms for years, our goal is to make the process simple.
What Is ClariVein?
A non-thermal vein ablation option that closes a diseased vein using a rotating catheter and a medicated solution.
ClariVeinĀ® combines a rotating catheter with a medicated solution to close a diseased vein from the inside, without using heat. Dr. J. Keith Thompson offers ClariVein as one of several vein ablation options, chosen based on each patient's vein anatomy.

Who This Helps
Columbia patients often come to the Vein Institute with one or more of these symptoms or questions about clarivein:
- Varicose veins caused by a diseased vein that needs to be closed
- Patients who prefer a non-heat-based vein ablation option
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.
Because no heat is used, some patients find ClariVein involves less local anesthetic than heat-based options. Most patients return to normal activity the same day.
