Understanding Facial Thread Veins

Facial thread veins, also known as spider veins or telangiectasia, are small, dilated blood vessels that appear close to the skin’s surface, often manifesting as red or purple lines on areas like the nose, cheeks, and chin. Common causes include sun exposure, hormonal changes, genetics, and certain lifestyle factors. While generally harmless, these veins can be a cosmetic concern for many individuals.

How ThermaVein Works

ThermaVein utilises a process called thermocoagulation to safely and effectively eliminate thread veins.

• Precision Treatment: A fine probe, comparable in size to a human hair, is applied to the vein’s surface.​

• Sealing the Vein: A brief pulse is delivered through the probe, causing the vein to seal and collapse.​

• Natural Elimination: The sealed vein is then naturally absorbed by the body, resulting in clearer skin.​

ThermaVein offers several benefits over traditional treatments like laser or IPL.

• Immediate Results: Many patients notice an immediate improvement following the procedure.​

• Minimal Side Effects: The treatment typically results in minimal redness, which subsides quickly.​
