Thread vein removal
What are thread veins?
Thread veins are tiny blood vessels, which run close to the surface of the skin and look like fine red or purple wiggly lines. These superficial veins can appear on the face and legs and can be treated with minimal down time or risk in just a few quick and easy treatments.
How does laser vein treatment work?
Laser works by emitting a specialised light that is passed through the skin, which is then absorbed by its target the haemoglobin (the red portion of blood) in the unwanted vessels. The laser causes the vein to break up due to the energy absorption and intense heating, which results in the disappearance in the vein.
How many treatments do I need?
Depending on the severity of the veins, anywhere between 1-3 treatments maybe required. Repeat sessions if required are spaced approximately 6 weeks apart.
How long does each treatment take?
Treatment time can be any time from 10 minutes to 30 minutes depending on size of area being treated.
