Varithena Treatment for Newton, MS Patients
Vein disease is common, and it's treatable. If you're in Newton, MS, the Vein Institute's Meridian office provides varithena treatment using modern, minimally invasive techniques ā the same approach used across all of our South Mississippi locations.
What Is Varithena?
An FDA-approved foam therapy Dr. Thompson uses to treat larger, more twisted varicose veins.
VarithenaĀ® 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
Newton 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
Plan for a consultation focused on you: your provider will ask about your symptoms, review your history, and often recommend an in-office ultrasound to map the affected veins. From there, you'll discuss which treatment options make sense for your situation.
Varithena is performed in-office with little downtime. Most patients resume normal activity quickly, often the same day as treatment.
