Thread Vein Removal
ThermaVein Thread Vein Removal Ipswich
Thread Veins (also known as Red Veins) are a common problem affecting all ages and groups of people. ThermaVein is a safe, effective, quick medical grade treatment for the removal of thread veins to the nose, cheeks and all areas of the face.
What Are Thread Veins/Spider Veins?
Thread veins are very thin red or purple blood vessels on the surface of the skin. They can be unsightly and give a general red appearance to the skin. They can also be referred to as Spider Veins, Broken Veins and Red Veins. The medical name is Telangiectasia.
What Causes Them?
There is no known specific cause of thread veins however, links may include a skin condition called Acne Rosacea, hormonal changes in women such as pregnancy or menopause, sun damage or too much exposure, trauma to various parts of the body or even excessive blowing of the nose.
How Can They Be Treated?
Thread veins on the face and body can be treated by various different methods including IPL, Laser, Electrolysis and the revolutionary option of ThermaVein (Veinwave). Here at Crystal Rose Skin Clinic, we use the 'Gold Standard ' ThermaVein technology which offers by far the best results treating all skin types and avoiding any permanent damage to the skin.
ThermaVein uses tiny Nickel tip probe which when placed over individual veins, uses a process known as Thermocoagulation which seals the vessel walls causing the veins to collapse and be destroyed.
Once destroyed, the same thread vein will not come back. Each treatment session usually lasts 15 - 20 mins and most patients will only need a few sessions to get excellent results.
How Can They Be Treated?
Generally ThermaVein is well tolerated. Most patients hardly feel a thing or a tiny 'hair pluck' sensation during treatment.
Some patients may notice a little redness or pin prick scratches over the treated area over the next few days, which can be covered with makeup if required. With ThermaVein unlike Laser, there is not a risk of permanent scarring or skin colour changes - Hypo/Hyperpigmentation after treatment.
Client Testimonial
"I cannot recommend Thread Vein Treatment enough. After being so self conscious about my own, I started my journey with Rosy and I am blown away with the results! I don't need to hide under a layer of make-up anymore. From start to finish everything was explained to me in great detail - I couldn't be happier!"

FAQs
Everything you need to know about ThermaVein thread vein removal
01
Is ThermaVein the same as IPL?
02
Will one treatment clear all my thread veins?
No. ThermaVein uses a fine probe placed directly on the vessel to seal it through heat. IPL treats a wider area using light rather than targeting one vessel at a time.
03
Can thread veins come back?
A treated vessel is normally sealed for good, but new vessels can develop over time, because the underlying tendency behind them doesn't go away. That's not a treatment failure, it's just how the skin works.
Some vessels respond visibly during the appointment, but I can't promise complete clearance in a single session. The number and size of the vessels, and how your skin responds, all affect the plan, which is exactly what we discuss at your consultation.
04
Is it painful?
Most clients describe a brief warm or snapping sensation rather than pain, it's usually very quick per vessel.
