VenaSeal 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 venaseal treatment using modern, minimally invasive techniques ā the same approach used across all of our South Mississippi locations.
What Is VenaSeal?
A vein ablation option that uses a medical adhesive to seal a diseased vein shut.
VenaSealā¢ uses a medical adhesive delivered through a thin catheter to seal a diseased vein shut. It's one of the vein ablation options Dr. J. Keith Thompson offers, chosen based on each patient's vein anatomy and treatment goals.

Who This Helps
Livingston patients often come to the Vein Institute with one or more of these symptoms or questions about venaseal:
- Varicose veins caused by a refluxing (diseased) vein
- Patients who want to avoid wearing compression stockings for an extended period after treatment
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.
VenaSeal does not require tumescent (fluid) anesthesia the way some heat-based ablations do, and most patients return to normal activity quickly after the in-office procedure.
