Spider veins removal London
Medically reviewed by Dr Youssef
Trust Simply Clinics to solve unsightly broken capillaries with spider veins removal in London.
Those blue or red veins which often appear on the backs of the legs or the face are spider veins, sometimes called thread veins. They can also cause facial redness when they appear across the nose and cheeks.
Unsightly thread veins or spider veins are harmless; most people, particularly women, suffer from them to a degree. If they bother you, Simply Clinics can offer a very effective treatment.
Simply Clinics is a small but growing chain of doctor-led clinics in the London area. The team is expert in thread vein treatment, but this is just one of many premium treatments we offer.

What are spider veins?
Weakening of the minute valves in tiny blood vessels causes spider veins, allowing blood to flow backward. The vein is unable to accommodate the amount of blood. It starts to bulge and eventually bursts. The broken capillary is the squiggly red line that gives spider veins their name.
What causes spider veins?
Spider veins are very common and often run in families. Too much sun exposure, alcohol consumption, and trauma—such as squeezing spots—can worsen them. Hormonal changes also contribute, as spider veins often appear during or after pregnancy.
Are thread veins the same as spider veins?
Both thread veins and spider veins are broken veins that can be seen through the skin.
Broken veins should not be confused with varicose veins, which appear on the legs, are more prominent, and tend to bulge outwards.
What is the treatment for spider veins on the legs and thighs?
In microsclerotherapy, a fine needle injects a small amount of sclerosant into the thread veins. The sclerosant irritates the vein wall, causing it to collapse and gradually fade away.
After just one treatment, you’ll notice a marked improvement in your skin’s appearance.
You can see some before and after pictures here.
Is microsclerotherapy suitable for facial thread veins?
Microsclerotherapy is not used to treat spider veins on the face.
We use, Thermavein, another very effective treatment that uses a process called thermocoagulation to treat thread veins on the face.
Is thread vein removal treatment painful?
Our doctors are experienced in delivering thread vein removal treatment, so you are in good hands. The needles used to inject the sclerosing agent are ultra-fine, so there is little discomfort.
You may feel some prickling or itching after your treatment. This is temporary but can be relieved by aloe vera or antihistamines. The surrounding skin may look slightly bruised, but this will soon disappear.
Are the effects of spider vein treatment permanent?
The effect on the individual spider veins is permanent.
However, if you are prone to thread veins, more may return elsewhere and need further thread vein treatments.
How do I know if I am suitable for spider vein treatment?
All our clients have an initial consultation before starting spider vein treatment, when a doctor will discuss the process with you.
Your skin will be examined, and a medical history taken to ensure that you are a good candidate for thread vein removal treatment.
This is not a suitable treatment for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Microsclerotherapy is not used to treat varicose veins or to remove thread veins from the face.
What is the cost of thread vein removal?
The cost of thread vein treatment starts at £300, but the final price will be confirmed when you have been examined at your free consultation.
