THERMAVEIN THREAD VEINS

Thread veins –Thermocoagulation technology

ThermaVein® offers the instant, safe treatment for red thread veins often referred to as thread veins or spider veins and medically referred to as “telangiectasia”. ThermaVein® delivers a fast and effective walk in walk out total solution for the treatment of red veins and vascular blemishes.

Red thread veins are cosmetically unsightly and are too fine to be treated in the same way as larger veins. Our ThermaVein® thermo-coagulation device offers a complete solution, is a totally safe treatment, is clinically proven and is permanent.

Equipped with a polarisation light system the practitioner introduces a fine needle over the red thread vein and in most cases it disappears instantaneously. There is no bandaging required.

Unlike IPL and Lasers, ThermaVein® cannot cause loss of pigmentation. It treats red spots, a variety of vascular blemishes and troublesome red veins. When used in combination with Scelerotherapy, ThermaVein® is perfect for treating legs. ThermaVein® can be used equally well on men.

The sterile needle, for single use, is covered with an insulating sheath which protects the skin, enabling a targeted action, delivering the treatment with precison.

What does it involve

The treatment takes around 15 minutes and involves a fine (hair-like) needle being inserted into each red thread vein being treated. Our practitioner wears a very high powered magnifying glass system to enable the areas to be treated to be clearly visualised. The Thermavein machine then delivers a microwave pulse that causes thermal (heat) damage to the vein or area being treated resulting in it disappearing. Once treated the same vein should not return. Especially effective for treating rosacea along with a ZO skin health programme or IPL

What are the benefits?

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

The treatment itself is quick and very effective. The treatment can also be repeated on many different areas of the body such as the face , chest and arms., If the areas to treat are large then several treatments sessions are advised as we can only perform a maximum time.

Rosacea with thread veins

Rosacea is a common but poorly understood chronic skin condition mainly affecting the face. The main symptom being episodes of flushing.

Other signs may include spots and persistent redness of their skin, small blood vessels becoming visible and in severe cases, the skin can thicken and enlarge, usually on and around the nose.

There is no cure for rosacea, but treatments are available to control the symptoms.We first need to control the inflammation before a thermavein treatment therefore we would offer first a course of IPL and our ZO Skin Normalising system prior to treating the broken vessels. Treating the vessels without the inflammation will give a poor outcome.

WHAT CAUSES THREAD VEINS

Thread veins are caused by many internal and external factors including;

Ageing
Hormonal changes
Sun damage
Pregnancy
Heredity
Standing or sitting for long periods of time
Wearing tight clothing
Obesity

What happens after the treatment?

There is no particular care that we ask after the treatment is performed other than ensuring you do not expose the treated area/s to direct sunlight. We also advise you that you MUST wear a high SPF of 50 every day post treatment and we can recommend a full UVA/UVB/HEV light broad spectrum cream. The area treated may becomes crusty and some oozing and swelling is normal post procedure we advise a product like aveeno colonial oatmeal or a vaseline type product only. We advise never to pick the area of crust off which may give rise to infection. Side effects can last from 24-48 hours and sometimes longer depending on the healing of the area treated.

What are the success rates?

Thermavein has one of the most successful rates and better than laser or IPL and with less treatments. The results are predictable and reliable for thread vein treatment on the face and body as well as other areas treated. Occasionally there may be the need to repeat the areas and this will be explained to you at the consolation .

Although Thermavein is a very safe treatment, there are some people who should avoid it and we won’t treat.

Who should avoid treatment?

Once treated, that particular thread vein or area that has ben treated will be permanently gone. However if you have developed these conditions in the past then you may well go on to develop more in the future and these new ones would require further treatment.
