Facial Thread Vein Removal

Facial thread veins, also known as spider veins, are thin, red veins that can appear all over the body. Thread veins most commonly appear on the face, around the nose and the cheeks. For many people, thread veins can be embarrassing and unsightly.

What Causes Thread Veins?

Thread veins are caused when small blood vessels called capillaries become permanently dilated and rupture. As a result, blood is spread to other capillaries and leaves spider web shaped veins across the face.

Thread veins affect 55 per cent of adults, the majority of whom are women. The veins may appear during pregnancy because of increased blood flow and fluctuating hormone levels, or as a consequence of natural changes in the menstrual cycle. Jobs that involved long periods of standing or outdoor work with regular exposure to the sun or cold weather may also cause spider veins to appear.

How Does Facial Thread Vein Removal Treatment Work?

If you have facial thread veins that make you feel self-conscious and would like clearer looking skin, then Purity Clinic can help. We offer a non-surgical laser treatment which can remove the veins. The laser treatment projects a focused beam of light onto the skin. The light is absorbed by the veins causing the blood vessels to gradually break down. The thread vein removal process creates a clearer facial complexion.

How Long Does Treatment For Facial Thread Veins Last?

Non-surgical thread vein removal procedures can be very effective. A course of treatments is recommended to ensure the best results are achieved. It will usually take a couple of weeks for the veins to fully break down.
