Thread Vein Removal

Thread veins, known medically as telangiectasia, are extremely common and completely harmless but frequently embarrassing. They are tiny twisted red blood vessels that run close to the surface of the skin making them visible. The most common areas of the body to experience thread veins is on the face and legs.

Laser is a non-invasive treatment used to remove thread veins,on the face, body and legs quickly and effectively. Thread vein removal treatment will remove fine and large thread veins approximately 1-3 mm in size. The number of treatments depends on the size of the vein and how your skin reacts. Smaller veins respond more quickly to treatment, which lasts between 5 and 30 minutes.

Most thread veins can be permanently reduced, but touch-ups once or twice a year can be required to maintain the results.
