Spider Veins (also known as Thread Veins) are similar to varicose veins but they're smaller. They are often red or blue and are closer to the surface of the skin than varicose veins. They usually appear on the thighs and ankles and can pose a health risk.
Facial Veins generally appear on the nose, chin or cheek area and often occur in Rosacea .

Thermolysis is the first of the two Red Vein Removal techniques we offer at our Clinic.
The treatment works by directing a low Electrolysis current onto the surface of the skin where the Red Veins are present. The effect is to cauterise the blood vessel and remove it, simply by the application of heat. Thermolysis tends to produce the best results on the nose and cheek area.
The process isn’t at all painful, and it only takes around half an hour, depending on the size of the area to be treated. Your Electrologist will simply tap a slender needle along the affected area, causing a slight stinging sensation which is often described as being no more than a little uncomfortable.
When your treatment is completed, your skin will be just a little lighter in tone and the redness of the Thread Veins will have entirely vanished, since the blood in the veins will have been reabsorbed into the body. You’ll probably also feel a slight warmth in the treated area.
Don’t be alarmed if you see some small crusts, resembling in tiny scratches, forming over the area in the 7 to 10 days after treatment. They will gradually disappear on their own.

You may need two or three treatments to achieve the results you’re looking for in eliminating Thread Veins, but it’s very likely that you’ll notice a big difference after just one appointment here
If you do need multiple appointments, these will be spaced at intervals of around one month.
After your treatment is finished
It’s normal to see Facial Red Veins and Thread Veins begin to fade away about three weeks after treatment. The finer veins will begin to disappear first. To achieve the best results, you’ll need to carry on with treatment until the Thread Veins have entirely faded from view.
You should refrain from using any skincare products or make-up on the affected area after treatment. We also recommend that you avoid heat treatments, hot showers or baths for 24 hours… and give yourself a break from the gym!
One final word of advice: make sure you regularly use factor 30 SPF to protect yourself from harmful UV rays after your Red Veins have been removed.
