Sclerotherapy for Columbia, MS Patients

Columbia, MS is served by our Hattiesburg clinic, where our team offers sclerotherapy 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 Sclerotherapy?

A quick, in-office injection treatment that closes off spider veins and small varicose veins with little to no downtime.

During sclerotherapy, a solution is injected directly into the affected vein. The solution irritates the vein wall so it collapses and is gradually absorbed by the body, while blood naturally reroutes through healthier veins nearby.

Who This Helps

Columbia patients often come to the Vein Institute with one or more of these symptoms or questions about sclerotherapy:

  • Visible spider veins or small varicose veins
  • Mild aching near surface-level veins
  • Veins that haven't improved with conservative measures like compression stockings

How It Works & Recovery

Plan for a consultation focused on you: your provider will ask about your symptoms, review your history, and often recommend an in-office ultrasound to map the affected veins. From there, you'll discuss which treatment options make sense for your situation.

Sclerotherapy is quick and causes minimal discomfort. Most patients resume normal activities the same day and wear compression garments afterward. On average, patients need a minimum of 4–6 treatments spaced about three weeks apart to reach the desired result.
