Reticular Vein Treatment for Columbia, MS Patients
Vein disease is common, and it's treatable. If you're in Columbia, MS, the Vein Institute's Hattiesburg office provides reticular vein treatment using modern, minimally invasive techniques — the same approach used across all of our South Mississippi locations.
What Is Reticular Veins?
Treatment for the small- to medium-sized feeder veins beneath the skin that often contribute to visible spider veins.
Reticular veins are the small- to medium-sized bluish veins that sit just beneath the skin and often feed into surface spider veins. The Vein Institute treats reticular veins the way it treats spider veins and small varicose veins — most often with sclerotherapy — so the underlying feeder vein is addressed rather than just the spider veins on the surface.
Read more on our main Reticular Veins page.
Who This Helps
Columbia patients often come to the Vein Institute with one or more of these symptoms or questions about reticular veins:
- Bluish or greenish veins visible beneath the skin, larger than typical spider veins
- Spider veins that keep returning in the same area
- Mild aching near the affected vein
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.
As with sclerotherapy for spider veins, there is little to no downtime, and most patients wear compression garments for a period after treatment.
