Thread Vein Treatment Hemel Hempstead

How Do We Treat Thread And Spider Veins On The Face And Legs?

At Hemel Cosmetic Clinic we blend the techniques of time honoured injection sclerotherapy with the modern method of treating finer veins with thermo-coagulation sometimes referred to as Veinwave. The combination of these treatments provides the ultimate cosmetic result for troublesome spider veins on the legs. On the face the veins are divided into those that surround the nose, and go into the nose and the veins that are associated with rosacea. Years of experience in our clinic have shown that veins of all sizes can be treated with confidence using thermo-coagulation (Veinwave) alone. Our fantastic results are incredibly satisfying for patients and the treatment is ‘walk-in walk-out’. Minor Vascular blemishes such as Spider Naevi and small angiomas can be treated safely and effectively in seconds.

Thermocoagulation

A technique where microwaves destroy the thread veins quickly without scarring and without hyper or hypo pigmentation changes. Thermo-coagulation is far more successful in the treatment of thread veins than laser therapy; indeed a high percentage of patients seek our medical expertise as a result of failed laser treatment.

[pane title=”Do Veins Disappear Straight Away?” background_image=””]

Yes, however you may require more than 1 treatment session to treat all of your veins. Following your treatment normal activities can be resumed and it is commonly described as a walk-in walk-out procedure.

[/pane]

[pane title=”Is This Laser Treatment?” background_image=””]

No. Veinwave is thermo-coagulation and works in a similar way to a microwave. Laser treatment is not particularly beneficial to leg veins and many face veins, especially those located around the nose.

[/pane]

[pane title=”Laser treatment failed – will this treatment work?” background_image=””]

Yes!

[/pane]

[pane title=”Why Do We Get Thread Veins?” background_image=””]

The exact causes of thread veins are not known but along with hereditary factors it is thought heat, alcohol and hormonal changes act as a trigger.

[/pane]

[pane title=”Is Treatment Safe?” background_image=””]

Yes. The microwaves penetrate the tissue approximately 0.5mm – 2mm at the most, which does not have any adverse effects. The safety of our patients is our first priority and we comply with strict regulations and Government legislation in order to operate. All of our practitioners are fully trained.

[pane title=”Can I expect scarring or pigmentation changes?” background_image=””]

No. When administered properly Veinwave does not scar and will not cause hypo or hyperpigmentation. If you are anxious about the possibility of scarring, ask your practitioner to do a skin test for you so you can see the results yourself.

[/pane]

[pane title=”Can I go straight out in the sun post treatment?” background_image=””]

Yes, there is no reason why not. One should of course apply the requisite skin protection of a nature which is unlikely to aggravate sensitive skin.

[/pane]

[pane title=”Can I have Veinwave carried immediately after my consultation?” background_image=””]

Yes, once you have completed the consultation and your practitioner is satisfied that you are suitable for treatment then normally this can be done on the same day.

[/pane]

[pane title=”Can I wear makeup straight after treatment?” background_image=””]

Yes – no problem at all.

[/pane]

[pane title=”Can Veinwave be used to treat Rosacea?” background_image=””]

In the UK, and throughout Europe, Veinwave has been successfully used to treat the facial veins associated with Rosacea. Rosacea itself is a medical condition which may require alternative treatment as prescribed by ones own Doctor.

[/pane]

[pane title=”Do I need a consultation?” background_image=””]

Generally speaking, yes. The consultation is very important in diagnosing your condition and in determining the appropriate medical procedure to apply. You should always insist that your practitioner properly consults with you prior to any treatment, not only veinwave. Beware that in many cosmetic clinics, salon personnel or sales people will talk to you in the first instance – this is NOT a medical consultation, but more likely to be a sales pitch. There are often contra-indications with regard to most treatments hence a full assessment should be conducted prior to treatment.

[/pane]

[pane title=”Do the veins disappear immediately?” background_image=””]

Yes – you will see the veins instantly disappearing during the treatment.

[/pane]

[pane title=”Does it hurt?” background_image=””]

The word ‘hurt’ is wholly subjective. Most people who have previously suffered the trauma of a laser treatment see Veinwave as a relatively pain free alternative. There are of course those who have very low pain thresholds and will feel the treatment more than others. It also does depend on the part of the body being treated. Veinwave can be used to treat intra-nasal veins, possibly the most sensitive part of your body, but yet still in relative comfort, causing no more than a watery eye. Veinwave, at its worst, has been described as causing a minor and instantaneous stinging sensation which doesn’t linger – some liken it to plucking a hair. To put this into context, we do not recommend nor see it as necessary for our practitioners to use any form of anaesthesia whatsoever – compare that with some treatments where legs have to be effectively frozen in advance to quell the pain!

[/pane]

[pane title=”Does veinwave work on dark skin?” background_image=””]

Veinwave has been proven to work well on all skin types but a consultation is always required to assess suitability.

[/pane]

[pane title=”Your Consultation” background_image=””]

We consider the consultation to be as important as the treatment itself. We believe that knowing what not to treat is just as important and so we ensure each patient has a full examination, where you will undergo a visual assessment of your condition using our technology. We are able to assess your condition using both normal and polarised light, which enables us to see beneath the skins surface. You will receive a full explanation of the planned procedures and importantly our expectations of the results you will achieve.

Many of our patients bring along a friend or family member to this initial consultation and we’re happy to explain the simple and safe processes to them too.

All of our patients’ needs are unique and a bespoke treatment plan is formed for you at this stage.
