Thread veins, spider veins, broken capillaries medically known as telangiectasias are dilated capillary veins less than 2mm in diameter. They are small blue to red appearing blood vessels that lie close to the surface of the skin and occur either in lines or web-like patterns.

Most clients experience mild discomfort. To ease any discomfort cool air is applied to the skin at all times during your laser vein removal treatment. Clients have described the sensation to an elastic band being snapped on the skin.

Laser Vein Removal treatment with Cynosure’s Medical Grade Yag Laser is an extremely safe and effective treatment for thread veins and facial redness. Using the most advanced technology our highly trained and experienced nurses and laser therapists can effectively target veins with energy pulses leaving the surrounding area untouched resulting in minimal discomfort and downtime for the client.

To determine your suitability for Laser Vein Removal treatment a patch test and consultation will be required prior to treatment. Protective eye shields/goggles are worn by client and therapist during treatment. Cool air, Aloe Vera gel and ice packs will be applied to the area after treatment.

Laser Vein Removal treatment takes approximately 15-30 minutes depending on the size of the area.

Depending on the severity of veins 4-6 Laser Vein Removal treatments are usually recommended although clients can see dramatic improvements following a single treatment. The exact number of treatments required will be discussed at your consultation and will depend on the extent and size of area being treated.

Over 2-4 weeks post Laser Vein Removal treatment, veins will fade. Each individual case is different and results depend on a variety of factors. Thread veins / spider veins treated do not reappear however new vessels may show up on the surface which can be then treated. However, conditions such as Rosacea can cause new veins to appear at some point in the future making further treatment necessary.

Laser thread vein removal treatment is used to minimise vascular skin concerns on facial and body. Common areas treated include broken capillaries and red veins on the face typically seen on the nose, cheeks and chin. Laser Vein Removal is also a highly effective laser treatment for rosacea, venous lake on lip area, poikiloderma on neck area and cherry angiomas on body areas.

Protecting the skin from the sun and free radical damage by using a UVA UVB broad spectrum sunscreen and antioxidant Vitamin C is an important part of helping to prevent new spider veins forming. Avoiding hot and cold extremes such as sauna, steam, hot showers is also recommended.

The majority of clients can return to work and normal daily activities on the same day. Generally, we recommend having some time off after treatment to cool the area. Depending on the size and extent of areas being treated recovery may vary to a few hours to a few days. Veins can appear darker after treatment before the fade over a few days. Following treatment, it is advised to cool the treated area(s) at regular intervals with ice packs.

After effects are usually short term and can include darkening of veins treated, redness, slight swelling, puffiness which can last from a few hours to a few days. Adverse reactions are risks are rare but can occur. Blistering, scarring, indentation is uncommon but can occur. Adhering to your aftercare advice will reduce any potential risks and adverse reactions.
