Sclerotherapy for Purvis, MS Patients

If you live in Purvis, MS and you're dealing with symptoms of vein disease, the Vein Institute offers sclerotherapy close to home. Our nearest office to Purvis is in Hattiesburg, where Dr. J. Keith Thompson and our clinical team diagnose and treat vein conditions using modern, minimally invasive methods.

What Is Sclerotherapy?

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.

Who This Helps

Purvis patients often come to the Vein Institute with one or more of these symptoms or questions about sclerotherapy:

  • Visible spider veins or small varicose veins
  • Mild aching near surface-level veins
  • Veins that haven't improved with conservative measures like compression stockings

How It Works & Recovery

Your visit begins with a straightforward check-in, followed by time with your provider to go over your symptoms and concerns. Most patients also have an ultrasound exam the same day, which helps confirm the diagnosis before any treatment is recommended.

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 4–6 treatments spaced about three weeks apart to reach the desired result.
