Thread Veins

Thread veins are tiny blood vessels which run close to the surface of the skin and look like fine red, or purple, wiggly lines. They can commonly be referred to as spider veins and commonly affect over 50% of adults in Western countries.


Thread veins or spider veins can appear for many different reasons but are commonly caused by age, genetics, smoking, alcohol, weight gain and pregnancy. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is key to preventing spider or thread veins, however, some people simply cannot avoid them appearing due to genetics.

FAQ

We use the Harmony XL Pro laser which uses AFT (an advanced version of IPL) this can be used for very fine red vessels, whereas larger vessels up to 4mm usually respond very well to Nd:YAG laser (all skin types).

It can be slightly different for everyone, but the most common areas are:
Lower face
Cheeks
Nose
Legs

Thread veins across the cheeks can be mistaken for Rosacea, there can be a build-up of the veins which creates a red appearance on the face.

We do have a range of products in our very own Cellderma product line to help you with the symptoms. Stress Defense can help reduce the appearance of the redness and constrict the blood vessels (this makes the blood vessel opening smaller, reducing the appearance).
