Facial thread vein treatment

Thread veins, more commonly known as spider veins, can become visible on the face and body as we get older and skin loses elasticity. What causes thread veins is a backup of blood, and while they may not cause discomfort, they can still leave the sufferer feeling self-conscious. Luckily, nowadays there are different types of vein treatment that can help make them less visible. Thread vein removal can help spider veins become less visible.

I have fine spider veins on my cheeks and around my nose. These are not severe, but I feel compelled to cover my face with make-up as I find them unsightly. In the past I've tried both sclerotherapy and laser treatment. Both caused blistering and scarring which took months to heal, and neither resulted in significant improvement. I'm now considering Veinwave thermocoagulation treatment. The consultant I saw would not test the treatment on my skin, and I've been unable to find any testimonials. Can you offer any advice on the effectiveness of Veinwave, or possible side effects?

Patients who have facial thread veins removed at our clinic are often surprised by how easy and quick the treatment is. The veins are usually red in colour but can also be purple or blue. This is strange as a large percentage of the UK population do suffer from facial thread veins but due to the lack of NHS coverage they simply continue with them.
