Spider and thread veins

What causes spider or thread veins to appear?

People commonly refer to thread veins as spider veins because of their web-like appearance under the skin. These enlarged blood vessels appear in blue, red, or purple colors.

Although many associate spider veins with aging, they can actually appear at any age. You will most often find thread veins on the legs and face, but they can also develop in other areas of the body.

Genetics play a significant role in the development of thread veins. If one, or both of your parents suffer from enlarged visible blood vessels, it’s more likely you’ll suffer from thread veins as well.

Other causes of spider or thread veins can include:

Hormonal fluctuations including during pregnancy
Injury or trauma to the skin
Excessive exposure to the sun
Certain antibiotics or medications
Excessive alcohol consumption; generally associated with facial thread veins.
Environmental or chemical irritants

Are thread veins serious?

Unlike varicose veins that bulge underneath the surface of the skin and can be painful, small clusters of blue or red thread veins are harmless.

While leg and facial veins don’t cause physical discomfort, thread veins can increase in number, or in size over time.

Treatments for thread vein removal

Thread veins are a common condition experienced by both men and women. The good news is that there are treatments available to reduce thread veins or for thread vein removal.

At your consultation, one of our trained practitioners will examine your thread veins. Based on this, they’ll talk you through which treatment options will help you achieve the best results.

At the skin clinic in Southgate, we offer Microsclerotherapy. This is a popular thread vein removal technique used for treating small thread veins on the legs.

What is Microsclerotherapy?

Microsclerotherapy is a simple, yet effective thread vein removal treatment. It’s used to target thread veins on the back of the legs, calves and inner thighs.

This is an injectable thread vein treatment that directly targets the veins from within. It involves injecting a small amount of the chemical known as Scleroscent into the veins. The liquid destroys the veins and causes them to disappear over time.

It is only suitable for treating thread veins on the legs or body. This treatment is not suitable for facial thread veins or varicose veins.

For advice on facial thread vein removal treatments, please contact our friendly team at the Southgate clinic, who will be happy to help.

How long do the results last?

The results of your thread vein removal treatment will be permanent in the area that’s been treated. This doesn’t stop new spider veins or thread veins from forming, but new vein formations should be treated in the same way.

How many treatments will I need?

The number of treatments needed will depend on the size and amount of thread veins on your legs. The number of injections you can have in any one session will depend on the amount of Scleroscent needed to treat the vein area.

If you’re treating a small area of spider veins, you may only require two or three treatment sessions. For larger areas of thread veins, a longer course of treatments will be required to help you achieve the desired result.

At your consultation, our trained practitioner will review your thread veins and talk you through your treatment options. From this, they’ll develop a tailored treatment plan that will deliver the best results for you.

Microsclerotherapy treatment can take as little as 15 minutes to complete. This will depend on the size and amount of thread veins being treated. With no downtime, you can go back to your normal activities straight after treatment.

How much does thread vein treatment cost?

The cost of your Microsclerotherapy thread vein treatment will depend on the size of the veins being treated. At your consultation, our practitioners will devise a treatment plan for you and discuss the total cost. The treatment starts from £250.
