Varithena Treatment for Ellisville, MS Patients
Vein disease is common, and it's treatable. If you're in Ellisville, MS, the Vein Institute's Hattiesburg office provides varithena treatment using modern, minimally invasive techniques ā the same approach used across all of our South Mississippi locations.
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.
Read more on our main Varithena page.
Who This Helps
Ellisville 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
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.
Varithena is performed in-office with little downtime. Most patients resume normal activity quickly, often the same day as treatment.
