EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS FOR SPIDER VEINS
THREAD VEIN REMOVAL
We will be happy to see you for a consultation to assess your suitability for vein treatments and to advise which treatment is most appropriate.
TREATMENTS
WHAT OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE?
- Laser is an excellent treatment for small facial thread veins or leg veins and is a safe and effective treatment that involves little downtime
- Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) can also be used to treat more generalised facial thread veins and redness
HOW WILL MY SKIN LOOK AFTER?
Your skin may look a little red and puffy and be more sensitive to sunlight after treatment. This is normal and will settle down in a few hours.
During summer months you should use an SPF 50 sunblock on the treated areas while they are healing. We will ask you not to suntan or apply fake tan products to the skin during the course of your treatment.
Final results will be seen 4-6 weeks after treatment as it takes a while for your body to reabsorb the blood from the vein.
HOW DOES INTENSE PULSED LIGHT (IPL) WORK?
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) works by using light at a specific wavelength to break down the blood in thread veins causing them to disappear. Most people need 4-6 treatments separated by 4 weeks. IPL cannot be used when the skin is tanned or when tanning products have been applied to the skin.
