Thread Vein Treatment

Facial thread veins can spoil the aesthetic appearance of a good complexion and present an uneven look to the skin

• Tiny red thread veins can look unsightly, particularly if they appear on the cheeks, nose or legs
• Long term exposure to sun and wind, pregnancy, genetics, hormonal
  imbalances, disease or excessive alcohol consumption can all contribute to the development of thread veins
  
  

• At Aurora, facial thread vein removal is usually carried out with short wave diathermy
• In some cases Intense Pulse Light laser is used to remove the veins
• The veins absorb the laser light and are destroyed
• Lasers can cause an uneven colour on darker skin, so treatment may not be suitable for people with brown or black skin tones
  
  

• You can expect the treated area to fully heal within a week
• Your thread veins will not reappear once they have been treated
• However, other thread veins may appear in different areas if you are predisposed to them
