Who can have leg & thread vein removal?

Leg veins (or veins anywhere on the body from the ankle up) which are 1.5mm or less in diameter can generally be treated (not for varicose). There are some anomalies so we ask you send photos beforehand to confirm your suitability.
Some medication, medical/skin conditions and a history of skin cancer may mean you aren't able to go ahead, so please speak with a member of the team before booking to confirm suitability.

Where can you have Leg & thread vein removal?

We've treated almost every area of the body for thread veins. Legs, buttocks, lower back, back of neck, surrounding surgical scars, ribs, and many more.
We cannot treat the feet or ankles. Lower legs carry more risk so must be treated with caution and on a case by case basis. It's not suitable for any veins 1.5mm or over, overly large clusters, and vessels that are too deep.

When should you have Leg or thread vein removal?

Generally every 8-12 weeks if more than 1 session is needed and sessions take 30 minutes. The treated vessels usually disappear or reduce from 1 treatment, but we cannot safely treat too many veins in one sitting. More sittings may be required if there are a) lots of veins, b) large clusters, or c) some stubborn ones needing another zap of the laser.

How does Thread vein removal work?

Nd:YAG laser treatment uses a specific wavelength of light that is absorbed by haemoglobin within the targeted blood vessel. The energy converts into heat, causing the vessel walls to coagulate and gradually collapse. Over time, the body naturally breaks down and clears the treated vessel, helping to reduce the appearance of unwanted leg veins while leaving the surrounding skin largely unaffected.
