Varithena Treatment for Petal, MS Patients
If you live in Petal, MS and you're dealing with symptoms of vein disease, the Vein Institute offers varithena treatment close to home. Our nearest office to Petal is in Hattiesburg, 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.
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.
Read more on our main Varithena page.
Who This Helps
Petal 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.
Why Petal Patients Choose The Vein Institute
Patients from Petal choose the Vein Institute because our Hattiesburg office is approx. 10 mi (about 10 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 ā all focused exclusively on vein care.
