Spider Vein Treatment for Columbia, MS Patients
Columbia, MS is served by our Hattiesburg clinic, where our team offers spider vein 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 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
Columbia 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
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.
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.
