Short answer: Laser vascular treatment treats thread veins, spider naevi and Campbell de Morgan spots on the body, not the face, with no scarring and minimum downtime. It is priced at your free consultation.
Thread veins are small, visible blood vessels near the surface of the skin. Laser vascular treatment is a non-surgical way of treating them. Here is what to expect.
What we treat
We treat spider naevi, Campbell de Morgan spots and thread veins on the body, excluding the face. Our laser vascular treatment is a safe, minimally invasive procedure, always preceded by a thorough consultation.
What it offers
Laser vascular treatment is a non-surgical treatment to effectively remove thread veins for long-lasting results, with no scarring and minimum downtime.
How many sessions
The number of sessions needed varies by area and thread vein count. That is why we assess each person at their consultation, and tell you what to expect before you decide.
What it costs
Laser vascular treatment is priced individually at your free consultation, because the cost depends on the area and the number of veins to be treated. You can see the other treatment prices on our price list.
What to expect on the day
Your technician will talk through the treatment, check your skin and treat the veins with the laser. The treatment has minimum downtime. The area may look red or feel sensitive for a short time afterwards.
Aftercare
Follow the advice you are given, keep the area out of the sun, and avoid hot baths and heavy exercise for a day or two if advised. Tell us if anything worries you.
Is it right for me?
Not every vein is suitable for laser treatment. Larger or deeper veins may need a medical opinion, and if you have pain, swelling or any symptoms, you should speak to your GP first.
