Facial Thread Vein Treatment

Thermavein treatment is an ingenious technique that removes thread veins (spider veins) and is particularly effective on the face. It is an excellent treatment for those troublesome and unsightly thread veins that might appear on the nose, cheeks or elsewhere on the face. Thermavein is quick and effective and inexpensive when compared with the alternative treatment of laser.

The treatment takes around 15-minutes and involves a tine (hair-like) needle being inserted into each thread vein being treated. The practitioner wears high powered magnifying glasses to enable the veins to be clearly visualised. The Thermavein machine then delivers a microwave pulse that causes thermal (heat) damage to the vein, resulting in it disappearing. Once treated the same vein should not return.

Thermavein treatment can completely treat facial thread veins. Once treated, the vein should not come back (however, new veins may always arise adjacent to the treated spider vein).

It is a quick and very effective treatment that does not take much time to perform. It can also be repeated on different areas. In fact, if there are wide areas to treat, then several treatments sessions are advised.
