ClariVein Treatment for Waynesboro, MS Patients
Patients from Waynesboro travel a short distance to our Meridian office for clarivein treatment. The Vein Institute is home to South Mississippi's only 100%, full-time, board-certified vein specialist, and we welcome patients from Waynesboro and nearby communities.
What Is ClariVein?
A non-thermal vein ablation option that closes a diseased vein using a rotating catheter and a medicated solution.
ClariVeinĀ® combines a rotating catheter with a medicated solution to close a diseased vein from the inside, without using heat. Dr. J. Keith Thompson offers ClariVein as one of several vein ablation options, chosen based on each patient's vein anatomy.

Who This Helps
Waynesboro patients often come to the Vein Institute with one or more of these symptoms or questions about clarivein:
- Varicose veins caused by a diseased vein that needs to be closed
- Patients who prefer a non-heat-based vein ablation option
How It Works & Recovery
We keep the first visit simple ā 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.
Because no heat is used, some patients find ClariVein involves less local anesthetic than heat-based options. Most patients return to normal activity the same day.
Why Waynesboro Patients Choose The Vein Institute
Patients from Waynesboro choose the Vein Institute because our Meridian office is approx. 60 mi (about 75 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.
From Waynesboro, plan for approx. 60 mi (about 75 min) to reach 103 S Frontage Road, Ste 310, Meridian, MS 39301. Once you arrive at our Meridian office, check-in is quick and your provider will have time set aside to talk through your symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most vein ablation treatments, including ClariVein, are covered by insurance. We accept most major medical insurance and Medicare.
ClariVein closes the vein using mechanical rotation and a medicated solution rather than heat, which is why it's considered a non-thermal vein ablation option.
No. Like the Vein Institute's other in-office vein ablation options, ClariVein is performed using local anesthetic, and patients remain awake throughout.
