Thread Vein Removal - Facial , Body and Legs
Thread veins are extremely common and sometimes embarrassing,
mostly affecting the face, body and legs. The causes
of thread veins are unknown although they may be caused
by changes in temperature, smoking, hormonal changes,
alcohol and prolonged standing as well as being a possible
inherited condition.
At Sandon House Clinic, we offer Laser Treatment for
the treatment of Thread Veins in the Face Body &
Legs.
Laser treatments will remove fine and large thread veins
quickly and effectively two or three sessions is usually
all that is needed to leave your skin feeling smooth
and blemish-free. This is a non invasive treatment for
veins 1-3 mm in size. At Sandon House Clinic we generally
recommend on average 5 treatments.
What is laser vein treatment?
Lasers produce a high-intensity ray of pure light which
gives off heat energy. This energy is absorbed by different
body tissues, depending on the colour of the laser beam.
That's why laser light can pass safely through the skin,
and destroy targeted cells under the surface without
harming surrounding areas. For red veins, the laser
beam homes in on the tiny blood-filled vessels beneath
the skin.
What laser vein treatment can do.
It can be used on a range of problems to do with veins
and skin pigment, including spider veins, freckles,
age spots, port wine stains, permanent red rashes
(rosacea), birthmarks, warts, scars, stretch marks
and some tattoos.
What laser vein treatment can't do.
Not all marks will disappear completely, but there
should be a noticeable reduction. Success depends
on an experienced operator using the right type of
laser machine for your particular condition.
What happens during treatment?
As with any cosmetic treatment, you should consult
a qualified practitioner before deciding to go ahead.
On the day, the area may be lightly anaesthetised
with cream, and you'll wear goggles to protect your
eyes. When the shots of laser light are given some
people feel burning or stinging, while others find
the process more painful, like an elastic band being
snapped on to the skin. The number of repeat treatments
varies according to the type of problem being treated.
Red veins usually need three treatments, spread over
several weeks.
The area might be reddened and feel hot after treatment,
but this will quickly fade, and you can return to
normal daily life immediately. Occasionally there
is a little bleeding or blistering which should be
left to heal naturally to avoid scarring.
Results of Laser Thread Vein Treatment
Results emerge gradually over a series of treatments.
The effect is permanent, but you should avoid any
known triggers to prevent new veins developing.
Risks of Laser Thread Vein Treatment
Skin might look discoloured or scaly after treatment,
but this should gradually fade. There's a very low
risk of permanent changes to skin colour or minor
scarring.
People with light sensitivity, or who have a cold
sore or other skin infection near the treatment area,
cannot be treated. This treatment is not suitable
for dark complexions or sun-tanned skin. You should
not have laser treatment if you have been treated
for acne with Isotretinoin in the previous year.
