Thread Vein Treatment

We are now using the new and advanced APILUS machine to treat facial thread veins!

Thread vein treatment is designed to reduce the networks of visible purple or red veins commonly found on the cheeks, nose, forehead and chest.

What is it?

• Thread vein treatment is the cauterisation of the vessel to remove all vascular (blood) blemishes on the skin. The most common of these are facial red veins, spider naevi and blood spots.
• The APILUS machine provides more effective thermolysis treatment for facial thread veins due to new computerised technology which produces an exceptionally accurate current and gives great results!

What can be treated?

• Networks of visible purple/red veins, commonly found on the cheeks, nose, forehead and chest area
• Blood spots
• Spider naevi
• The APILUS can also be used to remove skin tags (small round fibrous tissue that protrudes, usually on the neck or underarm areas, particularly where there is friction)
• Milia (small hard white lumps that can appear around the eye area)

What is involved?

• A full consultation is given to determine causes and a hydrating mask applied to optimise results.
• Cauterisation of the vessel is used to remove all vascular (blood) blemishes on the skin. The most common of these are facial red veins, spider naevi and blood spots.
• In some cases, only 1 treatment will be needed to remove these permanently; in other cases 2 or 3 may be needed.
• In all cases, it is important to know that the area will look a little worse for 7-10 days before looking better.
