Thread Vein Removal

Thread veins, commonly called spider veins, are tiny blue or red vessels located just beneath the skin’s surface. They may appear in small clusters or spread across the legs and other parts of the body. Usually painless, thread veins become more noticeable as skin thins with age. The treatment begins by cleaning and preparing the area, outlining it with a white pencil to ensure thorough coverage. Next, the correct settings are carefully chosen based on your skin type to achieve the best results. A beam of light is then passed over the skin. The light energy is absorbed by areas with high pigment, such as the blue or red vessels, where it converts to heat. This heat damages the vessel, allowing the body to break it down and remove it through the lymphatic system. Finally, aloe vera gel and SPF are applied to soothe, calm, and protect the skin from UV exposure.
