What Are Thread Veins?
Thread veins are tiny, dilated blood vessels that can develop on the face, legs, and other areas of the body. They can be caused by factors such as genetics, sun exposure, hormonal changes, or prolonged standing. Unlike varicose veins, which are larger and raised, thread veins are smaller and typically do not cause discomfort. However, their appearance can be a cosmetic concern for many.
How Does Laser Treatment Work?
Laser treatment for thread veins works by delivering concentrated light energy to the targeted veins. This heat energy causes the vein to collapse and gradually be absorbed by the body. Over time, the treated veins fade away, leaving the skin clearer and more even-toned. The procedure is quick, with minimal discomfort and little to no downtime.
Benefits of Laser Thread Vein Removal
- Non-invasive & Safe: No needles or incisions are required.
- Quick & Effective: Sessions typically take just 15-30 minutes.
- Minimal Downtime: Resume normal activities almost immediately.
- Long-lasting Results: Once treated, veins do not usually return, though new ones may develop over time.
Who Is Suitable for This Treatment?
Laser thread vein removal is suitable for most skin types and is ideal for those who want to reduce the appearance of visible veins on the face or body. However, larger veins, such as varicose veins, cannot be treated with this methodand may require alternative medical treatments. A consultation with our experts will determine if this treatment is right for you.
What to Expect During Treatment
During the treatment, the laser device is applied to the skin, delivering precise pulses of energy to the veins. You may feel a slight warming or snapping sensation, similar to a rubber band flicking the skin. The session is generally well tolerated, and most clients experience only mild redness afterward.
Aftercare & Recovery
Following treatment, you may notice slight redness or swelling, which should subside within a few hours. To ensure optimal results, we recommend:
- Avoiding hot baths, saunas, and strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours.
- Protecting the treated area from direct sun exposure and using SPF.
- Keeping the skin hydrated and avoiding harsh skincare products.
