Varicose Vein Treatment for Long Beach, MS Patients

For Long Beach residents dealing with vein concerns, the Vein Institute's D’Iberville location offers varicose vein treatment in a relaxed, comfortable setting. Every visit starts with a one-on-one conversation with your provider about your specific symptoms and goals.

What Is Varicose Veins?

Treatment for enlarged, damaged leg veins that can cause aching, swelling, and skin changes if left untreated.

Dr. J. Keith Thompson evaluates each patient to find the underlying cause of varicose veins, often starting with an in-office ultrasound to map how blood is flowing through the leg. Depending on the size and location of the vein, treatment may include vein ablation (EVLT, radiofrequency ablation, VenaSeal, or Varithena), microphlebectomy, or sclerotherapy to close or remove the damaged vein so blood reroutes through healthier veins nearby.

Who This Helps

Long Beach patients often come to the Vein Institute with one or more of these symptoms or questions about varicose veins:

  • Bulging, rope-like veins visible under the skin
  • Aching, throbbing, or a feeling of heaviness in the legs
  • Swelling in the lower legs and ankles
  • Itching or burning near an affected vein
  • Skin discoloration close to a varicose vein
  • Symptoms that worsen after standing or sitting for long periods

How It Works & Recovery

We keep the first visit simple — check-in, then a conversation with your provider about your leg veins and any symptoms you're noticing. An ultrasound is frequently performed the same day, since it helps confirm whether venous insufficiency is contributing to your symptoms.

Most varicose vein procedures are performed in-office using local anesthesia, with little to no downtime. Many patients resume normal activities the same day, and walking is encouraged right after treatment to support circulation.
