Microphlebectomy for Laurel, MS Patients
Laurel, MS is served by our Hattiesburg clinic, where our team offers microphlebectomy 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 Microphlebectomy?
A minimally invasive, in-office procedure to remove bulging varicose veins close to the skin's surface.
Microphlebectomy is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove bulging varicose veins that sit close to the surface of the skin. Through tiny, nearly invisible openings, Dr. J. Keith Thompson gently removes the damaged vein segments, allowing blood to naturally reroute through healthier veins.

Who This Helps
Laurel patients often come to the Vein Institute with one or more of these symptoms or questions about microphlebectomy:
- Bulging varicose veins close to the skin's surface
- Pain or pressure over a visible vein
- Swelling around a surface-level varicose 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.
Microphlebectomy is performed in-office with little downtime, helping relieve pain, pressure, swelling, and visible vein bulges with long-lasting results.
