Thread Vein Clinic London

Veins, we all have them and they are vital part of the makeup of our body but why are some more prominent than others?

Thread Veins are a common cosmetic issue which often appear on the legs or face. Many of us refer to thread veins as spider veins due to their web like appearance but the medical term is actually telangiectasia and it basically means that you have small dilated blood vessels sitting close to the surface of the skin. The causes of thread veins will vary between patients but can include;

  • Pregnancy
  • Genetics
  • Weight
  • Age
  • Lifestyle (e.g. excessive smoking or alcohol consumption)

Thread veins are often not a medical concern and sufferers usually only seek treatment as they are unhappy with the appearance of them but in some cases they can signal underlying issues such as varicose veins.

There are suggestions to help reduce your risk of thread veins which include living a healthy lifestyle, maintaining an ideal weight, keeping active and avoiding wearing tight clothing but these are not always sure ways to avoid thread veins appearing.

At The Private Clinic in Harley Street we have a range of treatments to help treat thread veins depending where they are. Our team of qualified practitioners will help advise you which treatment is best considering their location.

What is the Best Treatment for Thread vein removal?

Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy or microsclerotherapy is often the most common treatment for treating thread veins. It is a very effective treatment that can greatly reduce the visibility of thread veins on the legs. It involves a sclerosing agent being injected into the affected veins which causes the vein walls to become sticky resulting in blood no longer being able to pass through them. Once the blood stops using the veins, the veins will begin to collapse and then are naturally absorbed by the body.

Cutera CoolGlide

The Cutera CoolGlide is a laser treatment that targets direct light at the thread veins causing the blood within them to coagulate and divert over to alternative veins located deeper below the surface of the skin. The thread veins are then absorbed naturally by the body as they are no longer in use.

IPL

IPL is a non-invasive treatment that is ideal for facial thread veins. It uses intense pulsed light to target small thread veins close the skin. It works by heating up the vein causing damage to the walls of the blood vessel resulting in the vein collapsing and then being absorbed naturally by the body.

Our team of vascular surgeons at The Private Clinic are very experienced in treating varicose veins and we have a range of treatments including EVLA (Endovenous Laser Ablation) or Endovenous laser treatment, Sclerotherapy (Foam & Liquid), VenaSeal and Phlebectomy to help treat them.

Your Vein Treatment Options

We provide four different minimally invasive, ‘walk-in-walk-out’ options for varicose vein treatment: EVLA, Sclerotherapy, Phlebectomy and VenaSeal, which we explain in more detail (below). All treatments use local anaesthetic, take up to one hour to complete do not involve large surgical incisions. We are able to recommend and use the best procedure for your individual needs, having a broad spectrum of treatments, and we also tailor our treatments to you.

Your Consultant Vascular Surgeon will advise the most suitable technique, or combination of techniques, in your case, from the below treatments, after detailed assessment including an ultrasound scan:

  • EVLA (Endovenous Laser Ablation): Ultrasound technology is used to pinpoint the damaged vein, before laser heat is used to break down the veins wall and destroy the varicose veins from the inside
  • Sclerotherapy: A chemical, known as a ‘sclerosing agent’ is injected into the varicose vein, to destroy its internal lining, causing it to close and eventually shrink and disappear
  • Phlebectomy: In Phlebectomy treatment, very small incisions are made, through which a hook is inserted, and hooked onto an area of the affected vein. The vein is subsequently removed and with incisions being so miniscule that no stitches are required
  • VenaSeal: Known as the “superglue” treatment, VenaSeal is a closure system, in which safe medical adhesive is injected into the affected vein in order to seal it. Once the vein is sealed, the blood is re-routed to nearby healthy veins and the original varicose vein is absorbed by your body

Seeking Thread Vein Treatment instead?

Our Glasgow Clinic also offers options for thread vein treatment, the best treatment for you being dependent on your case. These include Sclerothapy and Cutera CoolGlide. Although sclerotherapy can be used to treat varicose veins, it is also largely recommended for thread veins. To treat thread veins, the veins or capillaries affected are injected with a scelorising agent (as used in varicose vein treatment), causing the vein walls to become sticky, and meaning blood cannot pass through. Without blood moving through the vein, the capillaries collapse and are absorbed by the body, while disappearing gradually from view. In the Cutera CoolGuide treatment, pulses of light energy are directed at the veins, leading the blood inside the veins to coagulate and reroute to deeper veins. The affected thread vein is eventually absorbed by the body.

 “Fantastic Couldn’t recommend the Glasgow Clinic , surgeons and staff highly enough. I went to them after years of looking for somewhere to deal with my varicose vein problem , and I couldn’t have wish for better. I was made to feel at ease , safe and was confident that after the consultation I would be pain free. I have a terrible phobia of needles so the non invasive procedure was prefect. Honestly fantastic from start to finish.” Justin, Varicose Vein Treatment Patient
