Threatment of Thread Veins
Thread veins are the small red veins
found on the cheeks and around the nose. They can vary in colour
between red and purple.
They can be hereditary but many things can cause them, such as,
dehydration, too much sunbathing, over exposure to the elements,
washing with soap or general neglect of the facial skin.
The permanent removal of thread veins through electrolysis involves
placing a very fine needle under the skin and then a small amount of
heat is used to cauterise the dilated capillary. This results in the
capillary drying up and then disappearing.
This process takes 15 minutes and as with sclerotherapy it is normal
to have several treatments to improve the area.
