Thread Veins.

Almost all of us will suffer from thread veins in our lives, these small red are harmless but can have a very ageing and unsightly effect on the skin. They are most often found on the face, back and legs are commonly referred to as spider veins, red veins or thread veins.

There is no known cause for Thread Veins although as the skin ages and thins they become more visible, sun damage, hormones, high blood pressure and smoking can all worsen the condition.

Thread Vein Removal

We 2 methods to treat thread veins. IPL 515/580 is a great option for lighter skin types, we use the laser to ablate the veins, you will see an improvement after each treatment and depending on the severity and depth of the veins you may need multiple sessions. Our other option is advanced electrolysis, a very fine probe is placed over the vein to cauterise the blood vessel, without the feeding blood flow, the vein is no longer visible. Most superficial veins will be destroyed at the first session, however, deeper and more prominent veins may need further treatments.

What to expect after treatment

Luckily these veins are relatively easy to treat on any part of the body and you are likely to see a 30% – 70% reduction on the first treatment. You may experience redness directly afterwards although this will subside within 24 hours and you can resume normal activities immediately.

Aftercare red vein treatment

Following red vein removal, some aftercare will be necessary. Immediately following your treatment, skin may appear a little red and swollen it may feel hot and even sore. This will subside after a few hours.

Apply a cooling gel such as Witch Hazel or Aloe Vera to the area quite liberally this will keep the area cool and prevent infection
Avoid direct heat such as hot bath or showers, saunas and exposure to sunlight or sunbeds.
Use a minimum of SPF 25 when in the sun.
Do not apply any other product to the treated area unless specifically advised to do so
Avoid touching the area unnecessarily
Gently wash and pat dry the area, do not rub

After advanced electrolysis treatments sometimes a very fine scab will form. Normally if the treatment is successful the blemish will simply come away from the skin. Do not pick or rub the scab but simply let it fall off. A few days afterwards the skin underneath may look a little pink and fresh, please repeat the treatment advise above. Skin will fully heal in 10-14 days.
