Driving from Waynesboro: approx. 60 mi (about 75 min)
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.
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.

Waynesboro patients often come to the Vein Institute with one or more of these symptoms or questions about spider veins:
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.

Sclerotherapy, the most common spider vein treatment, can cause minimal discomfort, but most patients find it very tolerable, especially given the results.
Every patient's needs are different, but on average most patients require a minimum of 4–6 sclerotherapy sessions.
Sclerotherapy requires a series of injections, and multiple sessions are often needed to achieve the full result — one round is generally not enough to clear all visible veins.
