Facial Vein Removal

What causes Thread Veins?

Thread, broken or red veins are fine, visible veins appearing near the surface of the skin - often on the face and legs. They tend to become larger and more intensive over time, appearing in clusters on the skin. Research has shown that some individuals are more prone to thread veins for genetic reasons. Exposure to the sun's ultra-violet rays, wind or extreme temperatures, steroid creams, hormonal changes during pregnancy and radiotherapy have all been recognised as causes of thread veins. Twenty per cent of women in their 20's and fifty per cent of women in their 50's suffer from thread veins. It is very important to treat these as early as possible.

How does laser work?

By matching the colour of the laser light to the colour of the thread vein, most veins can be treated safely and effectively. The laser energy is delivered in a series of extremely brief pulses which, over a series of treatments, destroy the vessels by heat.

Modern laser technology now allows the safe and effective removal of small spider like veins on the face and nose called telangiectasia. These tiny broken veins may be part of the normal ageing process, sun induced, hereditary or as part of the skin condition known as rosacea. In rosacea the skin of the cheeks and nose tends to flush easily and eventually turn permanently red and may be associated with pimple spots in addition to the thread veins. Laser treatment can be highly effective in reducing the redness and removing the spider veins with minimal discomfort. Usually 2 or 3 treatments are needed and during your consultation our doctor will be able to design a treatment plan, which is specific to your individual skin condition. General advice will also be given on how to protect your skin in order to reduce the risk of the development of further spider veins.
