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

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.

My visit with the vein institute today was so informative. I was explaining exactly what procedures would be taken place. The staff was so friendly and informative. Beautiful and comfortable office settings. I’m so excited to begin the process and can not wait to see the results of my leg afterwards.
Love em ….. they are excellent at the procedures & wonderful people in general ! Would highly recommend
The staff and providers took what could’ve been a much scarier process and helped me through the treatment every step of the way. Cannot thank them enough for all of their professionalism and expertise.
Everyone at the office is so patient and helpful, even when they give me a little card with directions and I manage to leave it there LOL. They sent my card on a text message. I am always nervous at any doctor's office and they always put me at ease.

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.
