Keith Thompson specializes in varicose vein treatments and offers the VenaSeal procedure as a minimally invasive option to improve the look and feel of your legs.

Who Is a Candidate for VenaSeal?
Candidates for VenaSeal treatment for varicose veins typically include individuals experiencing symptomatic varicose veins, particularly those who prefer a minimally invasive treatment with minimal downtime. This procedure is suitable for patients looking for an alternative to thermal ablation treatments and those who may want to avoid the need for compression stockings post-procedure. It's also ideal for those seeking effective, long-lasting relief from varicose veins without significant discomfort or extended recovery periods. VenaSeal for varicose veins is often recommended for patients looking for gentle, yet effective treatment options.
How Does VenaSeal Treatment Work?
Before the start of your VenaSeal vein procedure, Dr. Thompson will numb the injection site with a local anesthetic to help keep you comfortable. He will then use an ultrasound to guide and insert the catheter into the varicose vein in your leg. Once the catheter is placed, a medical glue will be delivered through it to close off the vein so blood can be redirected to healthy veins. Your body should eventually absorb the sealed vein, effectively making it disappear. Most patients are able to resume their normal activities right after the VenaSeal closure system for varicose veins is performed.

About UsVenaSeal™ FAQs
How much does VenaSeal cost?
The overall cost of VenaSeal will vary from patient to patient depending on a number of factors. During your consultation, our teams at either the convenient location of D'Iberville, Hattiesburg, or Meridian will listen to your concerns and assess your situation to create a unique treatment plan. At that point, we’ll be able to provide a more accurate cost estimate.
Is VenaSeal painful?
This procedure is minimally invasive and does not usually cause very much pain at all. Most of our patients describe their pain level as being very tolerable. In addition, the discomfort usually fades very quickly.
Is VenaSeal covered by insurance?
In the vast majority of cases, yes. VenaSeal should be covered by medical insurance, as well as MediCare. Just let us know your insurance provider in advance and we can ensure everything goes smoothly from a financial perspective.
Is there a risk of the adhesive moving to other parts of the body?
The medical adhesive used in VenaSeal is specifically designed to remain in the treated vein. Once applied, it polymerizes quickly, forming a solid bond that prevents movement to other parts of the body.
Can I exercise after VenaSeal?
Patients can typically resume light exercise, such as walking, immediately after VenaSeal. However, strenuous activities, such as heavy lifting or intense workouts, may need to be avoided for a short period. Dr. Thompson will provide specific guidance based on your recovery.
Is VenaSeal safe for patients with allergies?
VenaSeal is safe for most patients, but those with known allergies to cyanoacrylate adhesives or similar substances should inform Dr. Thompson before undergoing the procedure. An alternative treatment may be recommended in such cases.
