THREAD VEIN REMOVAL
Thread veins, also known as spider veins, are small red, blue, or purple vessels that can appear on the face, legs, or body. Our advanced laser treatment uses a medical-grade Nd:YAG laser to safely and effectively reduce their appearance and restore clearer, more even skin. The treatment is non-invasive with minimal downtime.
How it Works
Maximum Efficiency
Our system includes a long wavelength Nd:YAG laser , which specifically targets haemoglobin in the blood. This energy heats the vessel wall, causing the vein to collapse, and the body then gradually reabsorbs it.
The Comfort Of The Procedure
The procedure is non-invasive, with no needles or incisions. Most people describe the sensation as a warm flick or elastic snap. The surrounding skin is not damaged, making the treatment suitable for delicate areas.
Long-Lasting Results
Once treated, the collapsed veins usually do not return. Most clients see noticeable improvement within two to four sessions. Maintenance sessions can be booked if new veins appear over time due to genetics, hormones, or lifestyle.
Safe for All Skin Types
The Nd:YAG wavelength is well-suited to a wide range of skin tones. Settings are adjusted individually to keep treatment safe and effective for your skin. The energy penetrates deeply enough to treat small blood vessels while keeping the top layers of the skin intact.

Quick answers to questions you may have
What are thread veins?
Thread veins are small red, blue, or purple vessels that sit close to the surface of the skin.
Does the treatment hurt?
The sensation is usually brief and similar to a warm snap. Some areas may be slightly more sensitive, but most clients find it very manageable.
Is this the same as IPL?
No. Our treatment uses a focused Nd:YAG laser wavelength that specifically targets blood vessels, which is more precise and effective than IPL’s broad light.
How does the laser work?
The laser heats the vessel wall, causing the vein to collapse. The body then gradually reabsorbs the treated vessel.
How many sessions will I need?
Many clients see improvement after two to four sessions. The number of sessions depends on the size and location of the veins.
Can the treated veins come back?
The treated veins are removed permanently. However, new veins can form over time due to genetics, sun exposure, or lifestyle.
What happens immediately after the session?
You may notice mild redness, warmth, or slight swelling. Some veins can appear darker before they fade.
What are the common treatment areas?
The most commonly treated areas are the face (cheeks and nose) and the legs (thighs and calves).
Is the treatment safe for all skin types?
Yes, the Nd:YAG wavelength is well suited to a wide range of skin tones, and settings are adjusted individually to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Are there any side effects?
Temporary redness, warmth, or slight swelling are the most common temporary effects. Serious complications are rare.
Who is suitable for this treatment?
Laser thread vein removal is suitable for most adults. We assess all clients, and may recommend alternative treatment for large varicose veins.
