Contact UsWhat Is ClariVein?
ClariVein is a revolutionary technology and treatment that uses a combined two-step approach to treat unwanted varicose veins. Also known as mechanochemical ablation (MOCA), ClariVein treatment works by inserting a catheter with a rotating tip at the end, which resolves the damaged vein while simultaneously delivering a sclerosing solution to the affected area. Dr. J. Keith Thompson, a board-certified vein specialist can skillfully provide ClariVein treatments for patients, who are candidates, seeking a minimally invasive solution to reduce the appearance of bulging veins in the legs. To learn more about our vein ablation treatments, schedule a consultation at Vein Institute.
What Are the Benefits of ClariVein?

- High treatment success rates
- Reduced bruising compared to other varicose vein treatments
- Seals off veins without risking scarring or nerve damage
- Minimal, if any, pain
- Quick procedures

Am I A Candidate for ClariVein Treatment?
ClariVein can be an effective option for individuals looking for a nonsurgical treatment for varicose veins. An ideal candidate for ClariVein treatment at Vein Institute is in overall good health and doesn't have conditions that may interfere with healing after their treatment. During your consultation, Dr. Thompson will inspect the veins you want to address and build a treatment plan that's right for your needs. If you have specific health concerns or conditions, we'll discuss them to ensure ClariVein is the right varicose vein treatment for you.
How Does ClariVein Work?
The ClariVein procedure is an alternative to laser-based and injectable treatments. Instead, ClariVein uses a mechanical and chemical approach to treat varicose veins. To begin, Dr. Thompson will make a tiny incision in your skin and insert the infusion catheter. Because the incision is so small, you should not be at risk for any scarring. Once the catheter is placed, a rotating tip will ablate the damaged veins in the legs and deliver a sclerosing solution to target the underlying cause. There is no downtime so you can return to normal activities following the ClariVein treatment.
Vein Institute Reviews
I can’t recommend The Vein Institute enough! They worked absolute magic on my legs — I feel like I’m 20 again! From the moment I walked in, the staff treated me like family, with genuine kindness and care every step of the way. Dr. Thompson and his incredible team are true professionals with a personal touch. Do yourself a huge favor and go see them — you’ll wish you had done it sooner!
Dear Vein Institute Team, I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the outstanding care I received at your Gulfport office. I have experienced dreadful pain in my legs, knees and ankles for almost eight years, and to be heard much less helped to address each problem acutely was a blessing. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the professionalism, attentiveness, and compassion of your entire staff. Every concern I had was listened to with care and addressed thoroughly, which gave me great peace of mind throughout the process. Each action was explained, each step was clear, and each individual was honest with their expectations and suggestions in how to address the process and reduce any complications. The medical expertise demonstrated by your team was evident at every step, and I truly appreciated the clear communication and attention to detail. Thanks to your excellent care, my recovery was not only smooth but much quicker than I expected. I truthfully had less pain after each treatment, than I had had the day before and was shocked, elated and thankful for each day to be in less and less pain. I was able to stop using my knee brace of 2 years, and my ankle braces within a week of each leg being treated. I feel better than I have in a long time, and I’m incredibly thankful to have had such a positive experience. I am even able to play soccer with my little girl for the first time in a very long time. Please extend my thanks to everyone involved in my treatment. You’ve certainly set a high standard for patient care, and I’ll be happy to recommend your services to others. Words can not fully express how thankful I am for you and the work you do. Yours. BC Karrh
Very Professional and knowledgeable of your vascular system. Loved my results and would use them over and over. Don’t waste your money with other services claiming to cure your spider vines. Do your research and chose the vien institute, you’ll be glad you did.
I had varicose veins removed and spider veins injected and I'm so happy with the results! The staff is very professional and friendly and they thoroughly explain every step taken. All the procedures I've had were easy and painless, aside from minor soreness with the varicose vein removal. I wish I had done this years ago! I've recommended The Vein Institute of South Mississippi to all my friends.
Excellent treatment and staff.

ClariVein® FAQs
What makes ClariVein ablation different from other methods?
ClariVein ablation is unique because it uses a patented catheter with a rotating tip, allowing for an even application of the sclerosing chemical to seal the vein. This method stands out because it doesn't require heat, unlike other ablation techniques, making it a distinct choice for treating varicose veins.
Is ClariVein ablation safe?
Yes, ClariVein ablation is both safe and effective. The procedure has shown no major complications post-treatment, and most patients have experienced continued success in follow-up appointments.
How long does the procedure take?
The ClariVein procedure is quick and convenient, typically taking about 20 minutes. The duration may vary based on individual needs, but overall, it's known for its efficiency.
Can varicose veins come back after ClariVein?
Once a treated vein is sealed, it typically does not return. However, the procedure doesn't stop new varicose veins from forming in the future. Factors like genetics, aging, pregnancy, and prolonged standing can still contribute to future vein issues. Our team will help you understand what to expect and offer strategies to support long-term results after treatment.
Will I need to wear compression stockings afterward?
Yes, we typically recommend wearing compression stockings for a short time after your ClariVein procedure. They help improve circulation, reduce swelling, and support healing by applying gentle pressure to the treated area. Most patients wear them full-time for the first few days, then during the day only for a brief period after that.
Is ClariVein painful?
Patients typically experience minimal, if any, pain during a ClariVein procedure. This is because only local anesthesia is used, numbing the treatment area. Any discomfort after the procedure is usually mild and easily managed. Dr. Thompson can recommend medications or pain relievers if needed.
