Reticular Vein Treatment for Philadelphia, MS Patients
Patients from Philadelphia travel a short distance to our Meridian office for reticular vein treatment. The Vein Institute is home to South Mississippi's only 100%, full-time, board-certified vein specialist, and we welcome patients from Philadelphia and nearby communities.
What Is Reticular Veins?
Treatment for the small- to medium-sized feeder veins beneath the skin that often contribute to visible spider veins.
Reticular veins are the small- to medium-sized bluish veins that sit just beneath the skin and often feed into surface spider veins. The Vein Institute treats reticular veins the way it treats spider veins and small varicose veins — most often with sclerotherapy — so the underlying feeder vein is addressed rather than just the spider veins on the surface.
Read more on our main Reticular Veins page.
Who This Helps
Philadelphia patients often come to the Vein Institute with one or more of these symptoms or questions about reticular veins:
- Bluish or greenish veins visible beneath the skin, larger than typical spider veins
- Spider veins that keep returning in the same area
- Mild aching near the affected vein
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.
As with sclerotherapy for spider veins, there is little to no downtime, and most patients wear compression garments for a period after treatment.

Reticular veins are slightly larger, bluish feeder veins beneath the skin that often contribute to the smaller spider veins visible on the surface.
If an underlying reticular (feeder) vein isn't treated, the spider veins it feeds can keep reappearing, which is why addressing the feeder vein matters.
