Facial thread veins, commonly known as spider veins, are small blood vessels that can become visible on the surface of the skin. These veins often appear on areas like the nose, cheeks, and chin, and while they are harmless, many individuals seek treatment to improve their appearance. While thread veins are often a cosmetic concern, they are generally not harmful. However, they can affect a person’s self-esteem and confidence, leading many to seek treatment for removal. At Dr Newmans Clinic, we specialise in non-invasive treatments for facial thread veins, offering effective solutions to help patients regain smooth, even skin.

Causes of Facial Thread Veins

Several factors contribute to the development of thread veins on the face:

1. Genetics: A family history of thread veins can increase the likelihood of developing them.
2. Sun Exposure: Excessive UV exposure can weaken the skin and underlying blood vessels, causing them to dilate and form thread veins.
3. Aging: As we age, the skin loses elasticity, making blood vessels more visible.
4. Rosacea: This common skin condition can cause blood vessels to dilate, leading to the formation of thread veins.
5. Lifestyle Factors: Smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and even prolonged standing can weaken blood vessels, contributing to the appearance of thread veins.

Effective Treatments for Thread Vein Removal on the Face

At Dr Newmans Clinic, we offer treatments for thread vein removal on the face.

Thermocoagulation (Veinwave) is non-invasive, safe, and highly effective, designed to help you achieve clear, smooth skin without downtime.

Thermocoagulation (Veinwave Treatment)

Thermocoagulation, also known as Veinwave or ThermaVein, is a non-laser treatment that uses microwave energy to target and eliminate thread veins. The procedure is highly precise, allowing us to target only the affected veins without damaging surrounding tissue.

Benefits of Thermocoagulation:

• Precision: Microwave energy targets the veins directly, leading to their closure and eventual absorption by the body.
• Safety: Unlike laser treatments, thermocoagulation minimises the risk of pigmentation changes or scarring, making it ideal for treating facial veins.
• Quick Results: Many patients notice a reduction in the appearance of thread veins shortly after the treatment, with optimal results visible in the following weeks.
• No Downtime: The procedure is quick and requires no downtime, allowing patients to resume normal activities immediately after treatment.

Treatment Experience:

• Duration: Each session typically lasts 30 minutes, making it convenient for those with busy schedules.
• Sensation: Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure, with some reporting only a mild plucking or warming sensation.
• Follow-Up: Many patients choose to schedule annual check-ups to maintain the benefits of their facial thread vein treatments. During these appointments, our     specialists can assess your skin's condition, recommend additional treatments if necessary, and provide personalised advice to support your long-term skin health.

Post-Treatment Care for Thread Vein Removal

After your facial thread vein removal treatment, it's essential to follow a few simple aftercare instructions to ensure the best results:

• Avoid strenuous exercise: For the first 24-48 hours, avoid activities that could cause excessive sweating or increased circulation, such as vigorous exercise or hot baths.
• Sun Protection: Always apply sunscreen with a high SPF to the treated area, as the skin may be more sensitive after treatment.
• Gentle Skincare: Use gentle skincare products and avoid exposing your face to extreme temperatures, such as hot showers or ice packs.
• Monitor Progress: Follow-up appointments will help us track your results and determine whether additional treatments are needed.
