Reticular Vein Treatment for Waynesboro, MS Patients
Patients from Waynesboro 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 Waynesboro 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
Waynesboro 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
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.
As with sclerotherapy for spider veins, there is little to no downtime, and most patients wear compression garments for a period after treatment.
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 — all focused exclusively on vein care.
The Meridian clinic at 103 S Frontage Road, Ste 310, Meridian, MS 39301 is approx. 60 mi (about 75 min) from Waynesboro. It's one of three Vein Institute locations across South Mississippi, so you're never far from board-certified vein care.
