At The Thread Vein Clinic in Tunbridge Wells, we specialise in safe and effective thread vein removal on both the face and body. While some clinics may use laser, IPL or electrolysis, we use the revolutionary Thermavein® (Veinwave)system, which we believe provides the best results with the least risk.

Why We Use Thermavein®

For patients seeking reliable thread vein removal in Tunbridge Wells, Thermavein® is our treatment of choice. This gold-standard technology delivers precise results while avoiding the risk of permanent skin damage sometimes associated with laser or IPL.

How Thermavein® Works

During treatment, a fine nickel or gold-tipped probe is placed directly over the thread vein. A controlled microwave current heats the vein, causing it to collapse and be permanently destroyed. Once treated, that same thread vein will not return, giving patients long-lasting results.

Treatment Duration and Results

Each thread vein removal session at our Tunbridge Wells clinic typically lasts 15–20 minutes. Many patients notice visible improvements after just one visit, though a small number of follow-up sessions may be recommended for the very best outcome.

Treating Leg and Ankle Thread Veins

For thread veins on the legs and ankles, we often combine Thermavein® with sclerotherapy to achieve optimum results. This dual-approach helps tackle deeper and more stubborn veins effectively.

What is Sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy is a widely used medical treatment for thread vein removal on the legs. A sclerosing solution is injected directly into the vein, causing the vessel walls to break down and the vein to gradually fade from view.

Aftercare for Facial Thread Vein Removal

Following facial thread vein treatment at our Tunbridge Wells clinic, we recommend using SkinCeuticals Phyto Corrective to calm the skin, support recovery, and enhance your overall results.

Thermavein® Treatment

At our Tunbridge Wells clinic, Thermavein® thread vein removal is generally very well tolerated. Most patients feel little to no discomfort, with some describing only a slight “hair-pluck” sensation during treatment. Mild redness may appear in the treated area but usually settles within a few days and can easily be covered with makeup if needed.

In rare cases, micro-scarring may occur, although this is uncommon. Some patients may also experience temporary colour changes in the skin, such as hyperpigmentation (brown or red discolouration) or hypopigmentation (lightening of the skin or vein). These effects typically improve over time.

Sclerotherapy Treatment

For patients requiring thread vein removal on the legs or ankles in Tunbridge Wells, sclerotherapy is another safe and effective option. This treatment is also very well tolerated, with most patients reporting minimal discomfort.

The most common side effects include mild itching at the injection site, temporary hyperpigmentation, or small superficial blebs (similar to hives). These effects usually settle down naturally within a short period of time, leaving clearer, healthier-looking skin.

Following your thread vein removal treatment, for the best results, we recommend using SkinCeuticals Phyto Corrective Serum & Phyto A+ Brightening Treatment which are available to purchase in-clinic or via the Skin Consultancy website.
