What is Thread Vein Removal?
Thread Vein Removal is a non-invasive procedure designed to treat and eliminate visible veins on the skin. These can include spider veins, broken capillaries, and thread veins, which commonly appear on the face, nose and cheeks.
Our skilled Practitioners use Veinwave® and IPL to target and remove unwanted veins, ensuring long-lasting improvements in skin clarity and appearance.
Whether you are dealing with visible veins on the cheeks, around the nose, or other areas, our tailored approach ensures that your treatment is customised to your skin type and concerns.
Who is Thread Vein Removal for?
This treatment is ideal for individuals who:
- Have visible spider veins or broken capillaries on the face or body.
- Experience redness and uneven skin tone due to small, dilated veins.
- Want a non-invasive solution to eliminate visible veins.
- Are looking to boost their confidence with clearer, vein-free skin.
If you are unsure whether Thread Vein Removal is right for you, our Practitioners will assess your skin and recommend the best treatment plan.

How Does Thread Vein Removal Work?
We offer two cutting-edge treatments to target visible veins effectively:
1. Veinwave® (Thermavein)
Veinwave® is a pioneering treatment for facial thread vein removal. Using thermal coagulation, the device applies controlled heat to seal and eliminate thread veins instantly.
- Best for: Small, delicate veins on the face, nose, and cheeks.
- Results: Immediate vein reduction with minimal side effects.
- Downtime: Some redness or tiny scabs may appear, lasting 3-10 days.
- Follow-up Treatments: A second session may be recommended for optimal results.
2. IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Therapy
IPL delivers high-intensity pulses of light energy to break down thread veins beneath the skin’s surface. The body then naturally absorbs the collapsed veins, leaving clearer skin.
- Best for: Thread veins on the face and body.
- Results: Gradual improvement over a few weeks.
- Downtime: Mild redness and slight bruising, subsiding within days.
- Follow-up Treatments: Some veins may require multiple sessions for complete clearance.
For thread veins on the legs, we offer Microsclerotherpy treatment with our Aesthetic Nurse Prescriber.
How Long Will the Results of Thread Vein Removal Last?
The results of Thread Vein Removal are long-lasting, but new veins may develop over time due to genetics, sun exposure, or lifestyle factors.
- Initial Improvement: Many clients see a noticeable reduction in veins immediately after one session.
- Long-Term Maintenance: Some people benefit from annual touch-up treatments to maintain clear skin.
- Ongoing Care: Your Practitioner will provide personalised skincare and lifestyle advice to minimise the development of new veins.
