ClariVein Treatment for Livingston, AL Patients
Vein disease is common, and it's treatable. If you're in Livingston, AL, the Vein Institute's Meridian office provides clarivein treatment using modern, minimally invasive techniques ā the same approach used across all of our South Mississippi locations.
What Is ClariVein?
A non-thermal vein ablation option that closes a diseased vein using a rotating catheter and a medicated solution.
ClariVeinĀ® combines a rotating catheter with a medicated solution to close a diseased vein from the inside, without using heat. Dr. J. Keith Thompson offers ClariVein as one of several vein ablation options, chosen based on each patient's vein anatomy.

Who This Helps
Livingston patients often come to the Vein Institute with one or more of these symptoms or questions about clarivein:
- Varicose veins caused by a diseased vein that needs to be closed
- Patients who prefer a non-heat-based vein ablation option
How It Works & Recovery
Your first visit starts with check-in ā no stack of forms to fill out ā followed by a one-on-one conversation with your provider about your symptoms. Many patients also have an ultrasound the same day to help identify which veins are involved, so a treatment plan can be discussed right away.
Because no heat is used, some patients find ClariVein involves less local anesthetic than heat-based options. Most patients return to normal activity the same day.
