Spider Vein Treatment for Waynesboro, MS Patients
Patients from Waynesboro travel a short distance to our Meridian office for spider 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 Spider Veins?
Minimally invasive treatment to reduce the visibility of small, thread-like veins on the legs and feet.
Dr. J. Keith Thompson most often treats spider veins with sclerotherapy, injecting a solution directly into the vein that causes it to collapse and gradually fade from view. Larger feeder (reticular) veins contributing to the spider veins can be addressed in the same series of treatments.
Read more on our main Spider Veins page.
Who This Helps
Waynesboro patients often come to the Vein Institute with one or more of these symptoms or questions about spider veins:
- Thin, web-like red, blue, or purple veins near the skin's surface
- Mild aching or burning over visible veins
- Veins that appear to worsen or spread over time
- Discomfort after long periods of standing
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.
There is little to no downtime after sclerotherapy. Patients typically wear compression garments for a period after treatment and often need multiple sessions, spaced about three weeks apart, to reach the desired result.
