Treatment Options for Thread Veins

Thread veins on the face and body can be treated using various methods, including laser, IPL, electrolysis, and the revolutionary Thermavein (Veinwave).

Why We Use Thermavein

At our clinic, we use gold-standard Thermavein technology because it delivers the best results while avoiding permanent skin damage.

How Thermavein Works

Thermavein uses a tiny Nickel or Gold tip probe placed over the individual veins. The vein is then heated using microwaves, causing it to collapse and be permanently destroyed. Once treated, the same thread vein will not return.

Treatment Duration and Results

Each treatment session lasts 15–20 minutes, and most patients require only a few sessions to achieve excellent results.

Treating Leg and Ankle Thread Veins

Thread veins on the legs and ankles are treated using a combination of Thermavein and Sclerotherapy.

What is Sclerotherapy?

Sclerotherapy is a widely used method for eliminating thread veins and spider veins. A sclerosing agent is injected into the veins to break down their walls, effectively removing them.

Aftercare for Facial Thread Veins

For facial thread vein treatment, we recommend SkinCeuticals Phyto Corrective to support recovery and enhance results.

Thermavein

Generally Thermavein is very well tolerated and most patients hardly feel a thing or a tiny ‘hair pluck’ sensation during treatment. Some patients will have a little redness over the area treated but this will usually last a few days only and can be covered with makeup if required.

With Thermavein, Micro-scarring may occur, but is uncommon. Colour changes, such as hyperpigmentation (brown/red discoloration) or hypopigmentation (skin/vein lightening) may occur in the treated area.

Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy again is very well tolerated and most patients have few side effects. Some of the common effects include itching at the injection site, hyperpigmentation and superficial blebs (similar to hives) but this settles down with time.

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.
