Thread Vein Removal

Thread veins are small blood vessels that run close to the surface of the skin, making them more noticeable.   They look like thin red or occasionally purple or blue threads, often occurring around the nose and across the cheeks and chin (sometimes referred to as spider veins due to the web-shaped appearance). They can also appear in different areas of the body, typically the legs. They can be caused by a number of factors including overexposure to the sun, drastic changes in weather, changes in pressure, excessive alcohol consumption, environmental irritants, rosacea, hormonal changes, or simply genetics.

We can treat thread veins using two different technologies, the most suitable will be determined during consultation once we understand your concerns and can examine the skin thoroughly, providing a bespoke treatment plan tailored to you.

Our ThermaVein treatment offers an extremely safe, quick and relatively painless technique that can immediately remove facial veins often found in the cheeks, nose and chin, restoring skin tone and client confidence. Using the power of heat energy from high frequency currents to produce a thermal pulse, ThermaVein uses a process known as thermocoagulation to warm up the protein in the blood, sealing the thread vein walls, causing the vein to disappear.  The treatment is exceptionally safe and uses a fine needle to target the vein with precision and can be used on any skin type with instant results.

Our LUMINA®️ machine applies light energy where it is readily absorbed by the bloody vessels, heating them to the point where they are destroyed. Following treatment, the vessels quickly clear as they are reabsorbed by the body, leaving little or no trace of the original lesion.
