Sclerotherapy

is an effective thread vein treatment that can help reduce the visibility of thread veins found on the legs. The treatment involves using a sclerosing agent which is injected into the affected veins and causes the vein walls to become sticky and blood is no longer able to pass . Once the blood stops passing through, the capillaries will then collapse and be absorbed by the body.

Course of treatment: 3-5 treatments

The is a laser treatment aimed at reducing the appearance of thread veins from all over the body including the face. The laser directs intense light at the spider veins which causes the blood within them to coagulate and divert back into veins that are located deeper beneath the surface of the skin. Once no blood is passing through the vein, it is then gradually absorbed by the body.

is a non-invasive skin treatment that uses IPL technology to help improve and reduce the appearance of facial thread veins. The advanced technology allows us to customise treatments for skin tones and . The IPL handpiece will then be gently placed onto the skin where it will emit intense pulsed light. This light works to heat up the vein causing the vein to then collapse and be naturally absorbed by the body. IPL devices can produce different types of pulsed light making it an ideal treatment for different variations of facial veins. IPL only affects the lower layers of the skin allowing it to reach the spider veins without causing damage to the surface of the Medicated Skin Care.

Treatment time: minutes depending on the amount being treated

A course of treatment: 5 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart

Downtime: May have redness, swelling or bruising which will subside after 1-2 weeks.

is a pulsed dye laser treatment which is ideal for removing or abnormal blood vessels in the skin on the face and legs. The vascular laser treatment effectively targets only the vein requiring treatment the surrounding skin is unaffected. The high-energy beam is absorbed by the thread veins which then become damaged and shut down.

Treatment time: Around 25 minutes which will vary depending on the area and amount being treated

Number of treatments: We typically recommend 3 treatments but some patients see great results after just 1 treatment.
