Thermocoagulation Treatment (Veinwave Treatment)

Thermocoagulation or Veinwave, uses microwave technology to target a specific area and destroy the vein, allowing it to be reabsorbed by the body over time.

As the treatment is confined to a small, affected area, it does not unnecessarily damage any non-affected tissue, which is a risk associated with laser therapy.

Thermocoagulation is non-invasive and relatively painless. In your primary appointment our expert doctors will assess your thread veins and provide a treatment recommendation plan for your individual needs.

Dr Newmans Clinic offers Thermocoagulation to treat thread veins in all areas of the body at our UK wide thread vein clinics.

What is Thermocoagulation Treatment?

Thermocoagulation Treatment, or Veinwave, is an aesthetic procedure where a targeted area of the body is exposed to microwaves. The heat the microwave generates to the target area destroys the vein, allowing the vein to be reabsorbed by the body over time. As the treatment is confined to a small, affected area, it does not unnecessarily damage any non-affected tissue.

In short, Thermocoagulation can be defined as; the coagulation of tissue by heat-producing high-frequency electric currents.

Is Thermocoagulation safe?

In short, yes Thermocoagulation is safe. Although all medical and aesthetic procedures do come with risks, those associated with Thermocoagulation are small and extremely uncommon. There is a low risk of minor, temporary scabs, bruising, and scarring. Occasionally, tiny red marks may appear, but these are typically resolved with additional treatment and over time. No significant side effects have been reported.

Does Thermocoagulation hurt?

Thermocoagulation is a procedure that is mostly pain-free for the vast majority of all patients.

How long does Thermocoagulation take?

We ask patients to allow for around 30 minutes for an appointment, whether that is a consultation or treatment.
