Electrolysis
carried out in beauty
salons can be used to
treat thread
veins.
A fine needle is used
to pass a current into
the skin to cauterise
the thread vein.

Veinwave
is a treatment for red
(spider) veins or thread veins on the
legs or face. This
thermo-coagulation
technique is supposed
to be a complete
solution, totally safe
and relatively
painless with only
minimal temporary
bruising, producing
immediate results with
no side
effects.
|
|
|
|
A fine needle is
introduced over the
vein and in most cases
it disappears
instantaneously
without bruising. No
bandaging is
required.
Veinwave can be
applied to any kind of
skin complexion
because there should
be no loss of
pigmentation.
It treats all spider
or thread veins on the legs and
the feet, as well as
troublesome facial red
thread veins. Veinwave
is suitable for both
men and women.

Micro-sclerotherapy
uses the tip of a
beveled needle as fine
as fuse wire. It
is introduced into the
thread vein and a tiny
drop of solution
enters the capillary
causing it to blanch
and tingle for a
second or
two.
|
|
|
|
It then becomes redder
temporarily as the
lining of the thread
vein is irritated.
After a while,
it will either
collapse or swell and
stick together sealing
off the vein,
prohibiting any more
blood to enter and
therefore becoming
invisible. Minute
scabbing or slight
discoloration at the
site of the injections
is temporary.
The areas may
feel tender for the
next few days
following
treatment.
|
|
|
|
The process can
continue for several
weeks, or even months
after
treatment.
The width of the
broken thread vein will
determine repeat
treatments after six
weeks.
|
|
This is very good for
larger thread veins that will
not respond well to
creams or other
treatments but should
only be carried out by
a nurse or
surgeon.
Thread veins may
appear at different
sites if you are
vulnerable to this
condition and they can
all be treated in the
same
way.

|
|
|
Use prevention
products before and
after treatments to
ensure good
results.

Intense Pulsed
Light
is a new form of
treatment that uses
high intensity light
therapy to eliminate
spider or thread veins safely.
The system emits brief
flashes of intense
pulsed light, similar
to a camera flash,
which destroys
unsightly small thread
veins so that they
fade and disappear
slowly. Treatment is
applied by placing a
hand-held unit on your
skin. The
process is relatively
painless, being
described as a brief
stinging
sensation.
|
|
|
|
No anaesthesia or pain
medication is
required. Short
term side effects
include slight
reddening of the skin
or local swelling
which disappears in a
few days.
Several
treatments may be
required depending
upon the severity and
density of the
vessels. You can
resume normal
activities immediately
following treatment.
IPL is usually
successful,
particularly
satisfactory for
facial thread veins,
is safer than laser
and does not cause
scarring. The
paler the skin the
more effective the
treatment.
