Laser thread vein removal
Thread veins, or telangiectasia, are small, dilated venules (tiny blood vessels) near the surface of the skin. They are so called as they cause threadlike red lines or patterns on the skin.
These patterns, or telangiectasis, form gradually and often appear in clusters. Thread veins are sometimes known as spider veins due to their weblike appearance.
Thread veins are common on the face, particularly on the nose and cheeks, and on the legs. They are usually caused by age, trauma, sun exposure or alcohol.
The benefits of laser thread vein removal
Laser thread vein removal has the following benefits:
Laser therapy is a highly effective treatment used to eliminate thread veins.
This gentle treatment uses focused light energy to target the veins. The laser light is absorbed by the red blood cells and converted into heat energy. Your blood then coagulates and the vessel walls of your thread vein collapse.
In time, the vein is broken down and absorbed by the body, but you should see results soon after treatment.

FAQ
Laser thread vein removal
Thread veins, or telangiectasia, are small, dilated blood vessels near the surface of the skin. They are so called as they cause threadlike red lines on the skin. They are very common.
The laser light is absorbed by the red blood cells and converted into heat energy.
The blood then coagulates, causing the vessel walls of your thread vein to collapse. Once broken down, the vein is absorbed by the body.
Laser thread vein removal is a gentle, yet highly effective treatment. The targeted nature of the laser means that the surrounding skin is unharmed.
Any area of the body can be treated, but most commonly treated are the face and legs.
Initial results are apparent immediately following treatment. As the thread vein breaks down and is absorbed by the body, results improve over time.
Depending on your thread veins, you may need several treatments for optimal results.
This varies from patient to patient, your practitioner will discuss your treatment plan with you at your initial consultation, which is free of charge.
