Varithena Treatment for Long Beach, MS Patients

If you live in Long Beach, MS and you're dealing with symptoms of vein disease, the Vein Institute offers varithena treatment close to home. Our nearest office to Long Beach is in D’Iberville, where Dr. J. Keith Thompson and our clinical team diagnose and treat vein conditions using modern, minimally invasive methods.

What Is Varithena?

An FDA-approved foam therapy Dr. Thompson uses to treat larger, more twisted varicose veins.

Varithena® 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.

Who This Helps

Long Beach 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

At your consultation, you'll meet with your provider to talk through your symptoms and history. If an ultrasound is needed to map the affected veins, our Certified Vascular Sonographer can often perform it during the same visit, and you'll be given a treatment plan based on the results.

Varithena is performed in-office with little downtime. Most patients resume normal activity quickly, often the same day as treatment.
