Have you ever noticed thin, web-like lines on the surface of your skin? These are known as thread veins or spider veins, and they can appear in various colors, including blue, purple, and red. Although they are harmless, thread veins can be a nuisance and affect your confidence, especially during the summer months when you want to show off your legs. It’s important to note that thread veins are not the same as varicose veins, which are usually larger, deeper, and have a twisted or lumpy appearance.

Fortunately, our team of professionals can quickly and effectively treat thread veins in the legs or face. Don’t let thread veins hold you back from feeling your best!

Understanding the Causes of Thread Veins

Have you ever wondered what causes thread veins? There are several factors that contribute to this condition. Genetics play a significant role, and it is more common in women than in men. As we age, our valves become weaker, increasing the likelihood of developing leg thread veins. Being overweight can also cause thread veins due to the extra pressure on the legs. During pregnancy, increased blood flow and added weight on the legs can also lead to the development of thread veins. Inactivity, such as sitting or standing for prolonged periods, can force the heart to work harder to pump blood in the right direction. Hormones, such as those found in birth control and menopause, can weaken vein valves, leading to the development of thread veins.

Removing Veins from Legs, Face and Body:

If you’re looking to remove thread veins, there are two effective treatments available:

Laser Treatment – This option utilizes brief pulses of laser light to break down unwanted veins, successfully treating small spider/thread veins across the face and body. Typically, three to six sessions are required for vein removal with maintenance treatment usually once every 12-24 months.

Understanding the Treatment Process and Session Requirements for Thread Veins

The treatment process and number of sessions required will depend on the size and number of thread veins. To ensure a tailored treatment plan, our clients meet with a specialist professional for a consultation. Typically, a course of six treatments is recommended, but the number of sessions may vary based on individual needs. Treatments are scheduled at 4-12 week intervals to ensure optimal results.
