Benefits of Varithena injections used with ultrasound imaging at our Hattiesburg and D'Iberville, MS office include:

Is Varithena Right for Me?
Candidates for Varithena include individuals with symptomatic varicose veins seeking a minimally invasive treatment option. This treatment is ideal for patients looking for a nonsurgical method to address vein issues without requiring multiple injections or incisions. It is suitable for treating different-sized varicose veins and those who prefer a treatment with minimal downtime and recovery. Varithena is often recommended for patients who need effective relief from the discomfort and cosmetic concerns caused by varicose veins.
What Can I Expect from Varithena?
Your Varithena treatment will take around 30 minutes to perform. Most patients that are candidates may only require a single treatment, but some may require multiple sessions. Prior to injecting Varithena into the dysfunctional vein, Dr. Thompson may apply a numbing gel to the area. Then, using an ultrasound, he will inject the sclerosing foam into your varicose vein. The foam works by causing the vein to collapse, and blood flow is then redirected to healthier veins. Afterward, you should notice less pain and visibility of your varicose veins. There is no downtime, although you may need to avoid strenuous activity for a few days.
Vein Institute Reviews
Can’t say enough about Dr. Thompson and his staff! This is not my first time having my legs worked on but my experience I had with Dr. Thompson is the best! My recovery was much better and it helps with the friendliness and the professionalism of his staff. Thanks to everyone 😄
Very pleasant and informative.
The best decision I have ever made! I have been to doctor after doctor and none could tell me why I had the horrible pain that I was experiencing. The pain was so bad after working all day I could barely walk. The pain was unbearable. Dr. Thompson has gave me a new outlook in life after being in pain for 19 years. This was life changing for me!!

What Can I Expect After My Varithena Treatment?
There is no downtime needed for recovery after Varithena treatments, and you should be able to get back to your normal activities right away. However, we suggest avoiding strenuous exercise for a few days. Mild bruising, swelling, or discomfort around the treated vein is common but usually resolves within a week or two. Over time, the treated vein will close, leading to noticeable improvements in the appearance of varicose veins. Dr. Thompson may recommend wearing compression stockings for a short period to enhance your results.
