For the removal of thread veins (telangiectasia)

The ultimate treatment for thread vein removal for face, legs and body, using the most advanced laser techniques

Thread veins are tiny, thin blood vessels, which run close to the surface of the skin and look line fine red or purple wiggly lines. They are also known as spider veins or broken veins. The medical term for this condition is telangiectasia. Although these super-fine veins are connected to the larger venous system they are not an essential part of it.

Which conditions can be treated?

• Facial thread veins, facial redness and flushing
• Unsightly broken and dilated vessels just under the skin on the body and legs
• Blood spots and spider naevi
• Consultant dermatologists recommend treatment sooner rather than later, as small veins are easier to treat.

What to expect after the procedure

Often many fine thread veins disappear immediately and other treated vessels will dramatically change, turning from blue and purple into light red. Most inflammation will subside within a couple of hours. The redness of the treated vessels will gradually disappear as the process progresses, which may take between 2 and 6 weeks, depending on the size of the veins treated.

Post laser treatment care

• Any initial reaction should settle down in a few days
• Avoid direct exposure to bright sunlight for two weeks and wear a sunscreen SPF 15 or higher for at least 48 hours.
• Avoid sunbeds for 4 - 6 weeks
• Avoid abrasive scrubs and fake tans
• Avoid hot baths, saunas and excessive exercise for 2 weeks after thread veins and 6 - 8 weeks after larger veins or until bruising subsides
• After facial treatments you may use make-up if necessary, remove with care and pat the skin dry

Agnes, Dumfries

I came to Jacquies because I needed help with my problematic veins and bruises on my legs. Having good legs are a huge part of a woman's make-up. I have hid mine using trousers, leggings etc. By the time I am finished with my sessions I will have bikini beautiful legs thanks to the help and confidence I now have.
