ReNu Wellness: Revolutionising Wellness and Longevity in Dundee
The world of aesthetics and wellness is evolving, and I couldn’t be more excited to introduce ReNu Wellness, opening in April 2025
At Renu Health and Wellness, we understand that thread veins can affect both your confidence and appearance. Our thread vein removal services in Dundee are designed to eliminate these veins using advanced, minimally invasive techniques. Our skilled professionals ensure a safe and comfortable experience, tailoring treatments to your specific needs for the best possible outcomes.
Removing thread veins enhances your skin’s overall look, giving you a clearer, more even complexion and boosting your confidence.
ThermaVein is safe for all skin types and can be used on various parts of the body, including delicate facial skin.
ThermaVein effectively treats not just thread veins but also other vascular blemishes like spider veins and cherry angiomas.
Modern thread vein removal techniques are quick and require little to no downtime, allowing you to resume normal activities almost immediately.
Thread vein removal offers long-lasting results, helping you maintain clear, healthy skin with proper care and occasional follow-up treatments.
During your initial consultation, our healthcare professionals assess your thread veins using VISIA skin analysis, discuss your medical history, and explain available treatment options.
On the day of the procedure, we clean and sterilise the treatment area to ensure a safe and hygienic environment.
We use ThermaVein, which employs a precise micro-current to seal the thread veins, causing them to disappear instantly. This technique is highly effective and minimally invasive.
After the procedure, we provide detailed aftercare instructions. You may experience mild redness or swelling, but these effects typically subside quickly. Follow-up appointments may be scheduled to monitor your progress and address any concerns.

What are Thread Veins?
Thread veins (also called spider veins, broken veins, or telangiectasias) are tiny, dilated blood vessels that appear just under the skin’s surface. They often look like fine red, blue, or purple lines or webs—hence the name “spider veins.” They most commonly appear on the face (especially around the nose and cheeks) and legs.
Why Do They Happen?
Thread veins occur when small blood vessels become enlarged and visible, often due to:
Genetics (a family tendency)
Aging and thinning skin
Hormonal changes (like pregnancy or menopause)
Sun damage
Trauma or injury to the skin
Prolonged standing or heavy leg use (for leg veins)
ThermaVein® is a popular treatment for people who have small, visible thread veins (spider veins) and want to improve their appearance. People with small, fine red or purple thread veins (especially on the face and legs)
Those with facial veins around the nose and cheeks, which can be difficult to treat with other methods
Anyone who wants a quick, no-downtime treatment — ThermaVein® usually lets you go right back to your day
People with sensitive skin or concerns about pigmentation changes, since ThermaVein® is safe for all skin types
Who Should Consider Other Treatments or Caution:
People with large, bulging varicose veins — these often need different treatments like sclerotherapy or surgery
Individuals with certain medical conditions, like clotting disorders or active skin infections, may not be suitable
If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, it’s usually recommended to postpone treatment
Clinical Diagnosis
Thread veins are primarily diagnosed by visual examination of the skin by an experienced practitioner — like our experienced nurse. They often appear as fine red, blue, or purple lines, typically in a web-like or branching pattern, and are easily seen under the skin.
We also use FotoFinder and Visia Skin Analysis systems as diagnostic tools:
FotoFinder uses High-resolution imaging that can map and document the location, size, and density of thread veins for treatment planning and tracking progress.
Our Visia Skin Analysis: Provides a detailed analysis of vascularity and pigmentation, helping identify even small, early-stage thread veins that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Your experienced nurse uses both her clinical experience and advanced imaging tools to determine:
The extent of the thread veins
The depth of the veins
The best treatment approach (e.g. ThermaVein®
A ThermaVein treatment typically takes between 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the number and size of the veins being treated. For small areas or isolated vessels, treatment may be completed in as little as 5 – 10 minutes. You’ll be able to return to your normal activities immediately afterward.
It’s important to remember that individual thread veins may need more than one treatment to achieve the best possible results. On average, one to three treatment sessions may be required, but some cases may need more to effectively reduce or eliminate the appearance of visible veins.
The exact number of treatments needed varies from person to person. This depends on factors such as:
The extent and severity of the thread or spider veins
How your skin responds to treatment
Your individual goals and expectations
While some people may notice improvements after just one session, others may require up to more treatments to achieve optimal results. We’ll discuss this thoroughly during your initial consultation, ensuring a tailored plan that meets your unique needs and expectations.
Results from ThermaVein are often visible immediately, especially for smaller vessels. In some cases, treated veins may appear slightly red or darker before fading over the coming weeks as the body naturally clears them. Full results are typically seen within 2 to 4 weeks.
Recovery after ThermaVein treatment is typically very quick, with no downtime required. You may experience slight redness or warmth in the treated area for a few hours, and in some cases, minor scabbing or dryness for a few days. Most people return to normal activities immediately, and makeup can usually be applied the next day if needed.
Most patients find ThermaVein treatment very tolerable. You may feel a brief warmth or tingling sensation during each pulse, but it’s usually mild and doesn’t require anaesthetic. Any discomfort is short-lived, and the procedure is quick and gentle on the skin.
Most people are good candidates for this treatment. However, certain medical conditions or allergies may prevent you from undergoing the procedure. A consultation is essential to assess your suitability and address any health concerns you may have.
ThermaVein is safe and effective for treating thread veins and spider naevi on various areas of the body, including: Face, cheeks, nose, chin, forehead, eyelids and under the eyes. Neck and décolletage, legs (small, surface-level veins), chest, upper back, hands.
Yes, there is no requirement to stay out of the sun and this will not affect the treatment.
ThermaVein is a safe, low-risk treatment with minimal side effects. Most patients experience only mild, temporary effects such as:
Redness or warmth at the treatment site
Slight swelling or sensitivity
Small scabs or dryness (in some cases)
Temporary darkening of the treated vessel before it fades
These effects usually resolve within a few days.
The cost of ThermaVein® treatment depends on the number of areas treated and the extent of your thread veins. Typically, prices start from around £150 per session, with most people requiring 1 to 2 sessions for best results.
During your initial consultation, we’ll assess your thread veins, discuss your treatment goals, and provide a personalised quote based on the areas to be treated and the estimated number of sessions you may need.
We’ll make sure you have a clear understanding of the expected results, the total cost, and any package options or discounts available for multiple sessions.
