Varithena Treatment for Quitman, MS Patients
Quitman, MS is served by our Meridian clinic, where our team offers varithena treatment alongside in-office ultrasound diagnosis. Whether this is your first time seeking vein care or you've been managing symptoms for years, our goal is to make the process simple.
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
Quitman 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
Your first visit starts with check-in ā no stack of forms to fill out ā followed by a one-on-one conversation with your provider about your symptoms. Many patients also have an ultrasound the same day to help identify which veins are involved, so a treatment plan can be discussed right away.
Varithena is performed in-office with little downtime. Most patients resume normal activity quickly, often the same day as treatment.

For Quitman residents, getting to Meridian takes approx. 28 mi (about 35 min). Once there, patients find a practice built specifically around vein care ā not a general clinic that treats veins as an afterthought ā with ultrasound, diagnosis, and treatment available under one roof.
