As we age, sometimes small, broken veins can appear on the face and body. It has been estimated that over 25% of adult females are currently suffering with some type of vein problem. These veins, known commonly as “thread veins” or “spider veins” can be removed with laser light energy. Our patients seeking Thread vein removal may suffer with confidence issues due to their appearance. Undergoing a thread vein Removal procedure can put fun back into holidays, wearing shorts or skirts or swimwear, without feeling self-conscious about little broken, coloured veins on the legs or face. There are a number of options available for Thread Veins & Vascular Lesions treatment such as laser, IPL, Electrodesiccation.

Our state-of-the-art lasers eliminate only the unwanted red veins and don’t affect the surrounding skin, leaving healthy vein-free skin. Laser light is directed at the unwanted veins, causing them to heat up extremely quickly, break down and collapse in on themselves. The process is called photothermolysis.

Because the laser is set to a controlled wavelength, it only targets the blood vessels and not the surrounding skin. This enables the walls of the veins to collapse and be harmlessly absorbed by the body without causing any damage to the skin or surrounding tissue.

Although many patients report little or no discomfort, some may experience a mild stinging sensation when the laser pulse is delivered.

In many cases, significant improvement is realised in as few as one to three treatments. In some cases new spider veins may appear, therefore, additional treatments may be necessary.

The results are semi-permanent. However, in some cases they can return if the vein only shrinks (and rendered invisible) rather than completely obliterated.

Facial thread vein removal treatment is safe, effective and straightforward; you can expect to say goodbye to red veins and say hello to beautiful, vein-free skin.

The symptoms of Rosacea include facial redness across the nose, cheeks, chin and forehead, visibly damaged blood vessels and small red inflammatory pustules. Rosacea is not a life threatening condition but because it affects your appearance it can be very distressing. Rosacea affects fair skinned people of Anglo-Saxon and Celtic backgrounds and is most common among middle aged women. The first sign is often temporary flushing, especially after a hot drink, spicy food or when you walk into an overheated room. Environmental factors such as sudden exposure to sunlight, wind or temperature extremes make it worse, so does red wine and caffeine.
