SPIDER OR THREAD VEINS

HIFU is a revolutionary non-invasive treatment that uses ultrasound energy to lift and tighten the skin. This method is particularly effective for addressing sagging skin and loss of elasticity in the face and neck. By penetrating deep into the tissue, HIFU promotes collagen production, leading to firmer, more youthful skin over time. Patients appreciate the long-lasting results and the absence of surgery, making HIFU a popular option for those seeking a facelift alternative.

Introduction

Whether you are bothered by veins on your face or legs, our clinic provides effective, minimally invasive treatments to help restore smoother, clearer skin.

Science Behind the Treatments

Both laser therapy and sclerotherapy work by targeting the blood vessels that have become dilated or weakened, resulting in visible veins. With laser treatment, the light energy is absorbed by the vein, causing it to collapse and eventually disappear. In sclerotherapy, the sclerosant solution causes the vein walls to stick together, thereby closing off the vein and reducing its visibility.

Laser Treatment

Laser therapy is one of the most effective treatments for spider and thread veins. Using targeted light energy, lasers selectively target and break down the veins, which are then naturally absorbed by the body over time.

How It Works: The laser emits a specific wavelength of light that is absorbed by the hemoglobin in the blood within the veins. The heat generated by the laser causes the vein to coagulate and gradually disappear.

Types: Common lasers used for spider veins include:

  • Nd:YAG Lasers (for deeper veins)
  • KTP Lasers (for facial veins)

Key Benefits:

  • Non-invasive with minimal risk
  • Quick recovery time
  • Targeted and precise treatment
  • Little to no downtime

Target Areas: Legs, face (particularly around the nose and cheeks), and other areas with visible veins.

Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is another highly effective treatment for spider veins and involves injecting a solution (sclerosant) into the veins. This causes the veins to collapse and fade from view.

How It Works: The sclerosant solution irritates the lining of the vein, causing it to stick together and seal off the blood flow. Over time, the treated vein is absorbed by the body and becomes less visible.

Key Benefits:

  • Proven effectiveness for spider veins
  • Minimal recovery time
  • Can treat multiple veins in a single session

Target Areas: Commonly used for veins on the legs, especially varicose veins, and smaller spider veins.

Treatment Time: Each session lasts approximately 20-30 minutes, depending on the size and number of veins being treated.

Anaesthesia
Laser Treatments: Typically, no anesthesia is required for laser treatments. However, topical numbing cream can be applied for extra comfort.
Sclerotherapy: Local anesthesia is usually not necessary, as the injections are relatively painless, but numbing agents can be applied if desired.
Side Effects
Laser Treatment: Temporary redness, swelling, or slight discomfort may occur.
Sclerotherapy: Mild bruising, darkened veins (which will fade over time), and occasionally, minor swelling.
Treatment Time
Laser Treatment: Each session takes around 20-30 minutes depending on the area being treated. For optimal results, 1-3 sessions may be needed, spaced about 4-6 weeks apart.
Sclerotherapy: Treatment typically lasts 20-30 minutes. Multiple sessions may be required, depending on the number and size of veins, with each session spaced about 4-6 weeks apart.
Target Areas
Commonly used for veins on the legs, especially varicose veins, and smaller spider veins.
Downtime
Both treatments have minimal downtime. After laser treatments, you may experience slight redness or swelling, which resolves in a few hours to a few days. Sclerotherapy may result in mild bruising or swelling that fades within a few days to weeks.

Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat spider and thread veins by injecting a sclerosing agent directly into the affected veins. This treatment causes the veins to collapse and fade

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the results permanent?

Once the veins are treated, they generally do not return. However, new veins can form due to factors like aging or lifestyle choices. For long-term results, maintaining healthy habits and protecting your skin from sun damage is recommended.

Is the treatment painful?

Both treatments are relatively painless. Laser treatments may feel like a mild snapping sensation, while sclerotherapy involves small injections that are generally well-tolerated. If you feel discomfort, topical numbing cream can be applied.

Can I return to my normal activities immediately?

Yes, most patients can return to daily activities after both treatments, though we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours.

Are there any risks or side effects?

As with any treatment, side effects are possible but minimal. Temporary redness, bruising, and swelling are common. In rare cases, hyperpigmentation or scarring may occur, which can usually be managed.
