Thread or Spider Veins Treatment Near me

by Leave a Comment

Thread veins are much smaller veins in comparison to varicose veins. They are commonly referred to as spider veins as they often branch off others causing them to have a spider or web-like appearance. Thread veins usually develop in the legs but they can also appear on the face such as thread veins on the cheek, under eye or nose area.

Usually, thread veins are nothing more than a cosmetic concern that doesn’t require medical treatment however in some cases, thread veins can be a signal of an underlying venous disease.

Treatment for thread or spider veins is different from treating varicose veins and depending on their severity any of the following treatments could be suitable for you;

Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is an effective thread vein treatment that can help to reduce the visibility of thread veins found on the legs. The treatment involves using a sclerosing agent which is injected into the affected veins and causes the vein walls to become sticky and blood is no longer able to pass through. Once the blood stops passing through, the capillaries will then collapse and be absorbed naturally by the body.

Treatment time: 5-30 minutes depending on the amount being treated
Course of treatment: 3-5 treatments
Downtime: You will be required to wear compression stockings and keep out of the sun for 6 weeks post-treatment.
Results: 3-6 weeks for small veins. Larger thread veins may not see results until 3-4 months.

 

Cutera CoolGlide

The Cutera CoolGlide is a laser treatment aimed at reducing the appearance of thread veins from all over the body including the face. The laser directs intense light at the spider veins which causes the blood within them to coagulate and divert back into veins that are located deeper beneath the surface of the skin. Once no blood is passing through the vein, it is then gradually absorbed by the body.

Treatment time: 15-30 minutes depending on the amount being treated
The course of treatment: 3 Treatments
Downtime: May have redness, swelling or bruising which will subside after 1-2 weeks.
Results: 2- 6 weeks of treatment but best seen after 2 months.

Intense Pulsed Light

Intense Pulse Light (IPL) is a non-invasive skin treatment that uses IPL technology to help improve and reduce the appearance of facial thread veins. The advanced technology allows us to customise treatments for different skin tones and conditions. The IPL hand piece will then be gently placed onto the skin where it will emit intense pulsed light. This light works to heat up the vein causing the vein to then collapse and be naturally absorbed by the body. IPL devices can produce different types of pulsed light making it an ideal treatment for different variations of facial veins. IPL only affects the lower layers of the skin allowing it to reach the spider veins without causing damage to the surface of the skin.

Treatment time: 15-30 minutes depending on the amount being treated
A course of treatment: 5 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart
Downtime: May have redness, swelling or bruising which will subside after 1-2 weeks.
Results: Initial improvement after 1 week, best results are seen 3-5 months after the final treatment

Varicose Vein treatments in London

by Leave a Comment

Are you looking for varicose vein removal treatments? This time of the year is probably the most ideal time to undergo any of the varicose vein treatments so you will be ready to show off you vein-free legs in spring.

In this blog post, we will be covering all the different treatments available to treat varicose veins so you are informed before attending your consultation.

What are the varicose vein treatments available?

There are several treatments available to treat varicose veins and it is useful to understand the difference between them, however, the best treatment for each case will be advised by your vascular surgeon.

A scan of the area of concern should be performed to decide which treatment is the best option for you. At The Private Clinic, we provide a complimentary ultrasound scan at every consultation (the price per consultation is £150).

  • EVLA stands for Endovenous Laser Ablation. EVLA is a minimally –invasive treatment that is recognised as a Gold Standard of treatment for varicose veins by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE). This treatment uses ultrasound technology to locate the damaged veins to then run a laser to remove the vein by breaking down the vein lining. This treatment has outstanding results achieving a 95.4% success rate.
  • VenaSeal is a vein closure treatment which uses a medical grade glue to seal the veins. This treatment is ideal for patients who are afraid or concerned about needles as it only requires one injection per affected vein and is completely painless as the area is previously numbed. What’s more, the recovery time is shorter compared to other procedures and the patient does not need to wear compression stockings.
  • Sclerotherapy is a vein removal treatment which involves the injection of a liquid or foam solution known as a sclerosing agent. Foam sclerotherapy is used for larger veins such as varicose veins whilst liquid sclerotherapy is used for thread veins. The foam is injected into the affected areas realising the blood retained in those veins to then proceed to its closure and disappearance.
  • Phlebectomy is a procedure performed under local anaesthetic again and consists in performing a series of small incisions where the varicose veins are located to hook the varicose vein and are then removed. The procedure does not require any stitches and provides instant results and relief from bulging varicose veins.

When would I be able to see results from the treatments?

For all of the varicose removal treatments you should be able to see the results right after the procedure; however, some treatments will require you to wear compression stockings for a few days.

There will be some visible bruising but this will disappear within 1-2 weeks. You can expect to see your final results around 6 weeks after the treatment.

When will I be able to return to work after my procedure?

When it comes to the VenaSeal, EVLA or foam sclerotherapy treatments, many patients are able to return to work the day after their treatment.  If you have had phlebectomy we recommend waiting 2-3 days before going back to work.
