Varithena Treatment for Pascagoula, MS Patients

If you live in Pascagoula, MS and you're dealing with symptoms of vein disease, the Vein Institute offers varithena treatment close to home. Our nearest office to Pascagoula 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

Pascagoula 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

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.

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

Why Pascagoula Patients Choose The Vein Institute

Patients from Pascagoula choose the Vein Institute because our D’Iberville office is approx. 27 mi (about 35 min) away and is staffed by a board-certified vein specialist rather than a general practice that treats veins occasionally. Dr. J. Keith Thompson is double board-certified in general and vascular surgery and is a Diplomate of the American Board of Venous and Lymphatic Medicine.

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 — all focused exclusively on vein care.

Pascagoula is approx. 27 mi (about 35 min) from our D’Iberville office at 3950 Promenade Parkway, Ste E, D'Iberville, MS 39540. Many Pascagoula patients combine their consultation and ultrasound into a single trip.
