Varithena Treatment for Wiggins, MS Patients
For Wiggins residents dealing with vein concerns, the Vein Institute's Hattiesburg location offers varithena treatment in a relaxed, comfortable setting. Every visit starts with a one-on-one conversation with your provider about your specific symptoms and goals.
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.
