Thread veins (also called spider veins, broken blood vessels, broken veins or capillary veins) are small red, blue or purple veins that typically appear near the surface of the skin on the thighs, ankles and face. Thread veins are a common problem affecting around 80% of all adults at some point in their lives. Fortunately, we can treat thread veins safely and effectively with no downtime.

The 3D Vasculase works by using a laser to target the vein. The red blood cells in the thread veins absorb the laser energy, causing the blood within the vein to heat up, damaging the wall of the vein. This reaction causes the thread vein to close down. Once the thread vein has closed down, the body absorbs the vein, causing it to disappear.
This treatment can target thread veins in various areas of the body including thighs, calves, ankles and the face.
Results can be seen instantly with the veins visibly disappearing during the treatment. The amount of sessions required will depend on the severity of the veins. Many veins can be treated in one session, some may require 2-3 sessions. This will be advised at your initial appointment.
