Cynosure® Elite+™ Thread Vein Removal
Thread Vein Removal at BPC
Thread veins, also known as spider veins, are visible veins close to the skins surface. The correct medical term is telangiectasia varicose veins. They are thin and red irregular lines just below the skins surface and are commonly found on the face and legs but can appear anywhere on the body. Thread veins tend to be caused by the ageing process, weight gain, smoking and alcohol consumption, genetics, hormonal changes e.g. pregnancy, standing for prolonged amounts of time and too much exposure to the sun, wind or extreme temperatures.
Frequently asked questions
-
What happens during the procedure?
We use advanced laser technology to target and destroy the blood vessels which are responsible for thread veins. The laser beam is directed at the unwanted thread vein, heating it up causing it to then collapse and break down on itself. This process is called photothermolysis.
Contact our expert cynosure® elite+™ thread vein removal consultants to learn more about the procedure.
-
Is thread vein removal permanent?
After your course of laser thread vein removal the veins removed tend to not reoccur. However, sometimes new veins can appear in other areas of the body which might require treatment. It also depends on the reason why you have the thread veins in the first place. For example, standing for prolonged amounts of time, if this is continued after your course of treatment you will be at risk of new thread veins occurring again.

-
How many treatments will I require?
On average you normally require 1 to 4 treatments depending on the severity of the thread vein.

-
Does thread vein removal hurt?
Throughout the treatment cold air is used and a cooling gel is applied to give optimum comfort. The laser itself can feel like a small flick of an elastic band.

-
What are the side effects of thread vein removal?
The laser only targets your unwanted thread vein; there is no risk of the outer skin layers being damaged. After your treatment you may experience some swelling, redness and bruising which this should subside after a few days. It is also common that your thread vein will look immediately darker and pronounced; this is perfectly normal and will go once the vein is broken down.

I was sick of constantly shaving so I decided it was time for laser hair removal. After lots of research I finally chose to go with Birmingham Private Clinic. The whole experience was fantastic, I was quite apprehensive as this was my first time having laser, but as soon as I got there I was made to feel perfectly at ease. All the staff where professional & friendly throughout. I am over the moon with the results! Thank you!

Amazing experience from start to finish. Melissa was very helpful and informative in the initial consultation and excellent in the HydraFacial. Facilities were also amazing, felt like I was in a super high end clinic on Harley Street! Can’t wait to come back for my second procedure.

I went to BPC today for my second tattoo removal session with Melissa. My tattoo is already disappearing and I’m so happy with the results already and Melissa is so professional and makes me feel very comfortable.

After learning of the benefits of a skin peel, I was so eager to try one hoping it would reduce my congestion and oily complexion and give me a brighter, more even skin tone. My results were fantastic even after one treatment. For the first time in 3 years I feel confident enough to go out without some sort of foundation coverage. Thank you so much, I can’t wait to come back for more!
