If you live in Newton, MS and you're dealing with symptoms of vein disease, the Vein Institute offers sclerotherapy close to home. Our nearest office to Newton is in Meridian, where Dr. J. Keith Thompson and our clinical team diagnose and treat vein conditions using modern, minimally invasive methods.
A quick, in-office injection treatment that closes off spider veins and small varicose veins with little to no downtime.
During sclerotherapy, a solution is injected directly into the affected vein. The solution irritates the vein wall so it collapses and is gradually absorbed by the body, while blood naturally reroutes through healthier veins nearby.

Newton patients often come to the Vein Institute with one or more of these symptoms or questions about sclerotherapy:
We keep the first visit simple ā 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.
Sclerotherapy is quick and causes minimal discomfort. Most patients resume normal activities the same day and wear compression garments afterward. On average, patients need a minimum of 4ā6 treatments spaced about three weeks apart to reach the desired result.
From Newton, our Meridian office is approx. 36 mi (about 45 min). We built the Vein Institute around a simple idea: patients deserve a comfortable, one-on-one conversation with their provider, not a rushed appointment. That's the experience Newton patients can expect at Meridian.
Our clinical team includes a double board-certified vascular surgeon, a Certified Vascular Sonographer with more than 18 years of vein ultrasound experience, and a Nurse Practitioner trained directly by Dr. Thompson in sclerotherapy ā all focused exclusively on vein care.
