Learn more about using
Facial veins can be treated by using Excel V+ laser treatment. This is suitable for skin types I to IV. They can also be addressed with ThermaVein, which works for all skin types and ages.
We invite you for an initial consultation to assess your skin, make a skin analysis and ensure you are suitable for laser. Some medical conditions and medications (such as aspirin) can affect treatment, including allergies and clotting problems. Please inform us if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding before proceeding.
Facial thread vein removal is extremely safe. The ThermaVein procedure has been CE approved for many years and the Cutera V+ laser is FDA approved. Our advanced laser technology successfully targets the unwanted veins and will not affect your surrounding skin. At Thames Skin Clinic, our therapists are highly trained in the use of both ThermaVein and laser treatments and can be consulted to discuss treatment options.
There are no serious side effects or risks associated with facial thread vein removal. We carefully discuss your medical history and allergies before proceeding to ensure the treatment is safe for you.
There is no downtime needed following Excel V+ laser treatment or thread vein treatment. Sometimes the treated vein may bruise or leave a small scab on the skin, with some mild swelling. These are self-healing and will gently fade as the skin repairs. You may leave with a spring in your step, feeling fabulous and confident, knowing your veins are treated and disappearing.
During facial thread vein removal, most people experience minimal discomfort. Excel V+ treatment is delivered through a patented coolview handpiece, the skin for before and after the laser is delivered to the skin. This helps any sensitivity and warmth from the laser treatment. Pain thresholds vary between individuals. ThermaVein is generally more than laser and IPL treatments. Local anaesthetic is not necessary for treatment.
Facial thread veins are small veins that become visible through the skin, most on the cheeks, nose or chin. They show up because the vein wall is very thin and transparent, so what you’re actually seeing is the blood inside the vein rather than the vein itself. When these veins start carrying more blood than usual, they appear darker and more noticeable on the surface, which is why they can look red, purple or blue and stand out against the skin.
There isn’t just one single cause of thread veins on the face. For many people, facial thread veins are hereditary and simply run in the family. Triggers of facial thread veins, include environmental and lifestyle factors, photo damage, altitude exposure and outdoor environments as well as medical conditions such as rosacea.
They can also be triggered or made worse by repeated pressure in the facial veins, such as frequent sneezing or coughing linked to hay fever or asthma. Each time this happens, extra blood is pushed into the veins, and over time the vein walls can lose their elasticity and stay permanently widened. Once this happens, the veins don’t shrink back down on their own, which is why they become more visible and don’t disappear without treatment.
Thread vein removal works by destroying or collapsing the veins. At Thames Skin Clinic, this is done using either the Excel V+ laser or Thermavein, depending on the type, size and depth of the thread veins being treated.
With laser treatment such as Excel V+, a specific wavelength of laser is directed at the pigment in the blood within the vein. The absorbed laser energy gently heats and seals the tiny capillaries, which are then naturally reabsorbed by the body. Many veins fade immediately, while others to improve in the weeks that follow.
Thermavein works in a slightly different way using a thermocoagulation process but achieves a similar outcome. A very fine probe delivers controlled heat directly to the thread vein, sealing the vein walls together, causing them to fade as the body reabsorbs the blood.
Results depend on the size and number of thread veins. Small thread veins may fade dramatically or disappear immediately after a single treatment. Larger thread veins require 2-4 treatment sessions spaced 4-8 weeks apart. Small veins usually fade within 1-3 weeks, while larger ones may take 1-3 months to fully disappear as your body them. Most patients see significant improvement after the first treatment, though the full results develop gradually over 6-12 weeks. Treatments are spaced sufficiently apart to allow healing between sessions. You should avoid sun exposure for 3-4 weeks after each treatment to prevent dark spot formation.
First, a trained professional will examine your medical health and the thread veins in your areas of concern. A test should be performed to check the competency of the deep veins, this is quick and easy. If the test shows the deep veins flow the wrong way (backwards) you will need further investigations for more extensive vein problems and should see a vascular surgeon or specialist.
After positive pre-treatment Thermavein® or Cutera V+ laser can be performed.
Cutera V+ laser sends a particular wavelength of light deep into the vein which the vessel to stop the blood flow. Following your patch test treatment we can book your full laser treatment with a course of 3 recommended.
Thermavein® involves the placement of a special extremely fine needle on the skin. A low current is passed through the skin causing the vein to empty. Thermavein then creates a seal by gently heating the vein wall the body to naturally reabsorb the vein.
The low current ensures the blood does not coagulate, making it a safe and sought-after, walk-in walk out treatment.
