Treatment instantly coagulates the trapped blood as gentle heat works though the vein. The vein is cauterised at both ends preventing it refilling, making this treatment highly successful.
Red veins can be hereditary however they can also appear due to neglect of the skin such as use of sunbeds/sunbathing, extremes of temperature, smoking. They may also be caused by trauma to the skin, excess weight and pregnancy.
Each treatment takes approximately 15 minutes and generally several treatments are required to improve the area. Intervals of 2 weeks between treatments are required to allow the skin to rest between treatments.
Although you way initially assume total clearance of red veins is the desired outcome, many clients find that once the more visible veins are removed they are much happier with the appearance of their skin and often don't require total clearance. After each treatment the area will be red for the rest of the day. For the next few days some clients do experience tiny crusts (dot size) however this is so slight and hardly noticeable.

In the case of a larger area needing treatment, Intense Pulsed Light treatment can be applied. Both treatments can be combined with IPL treating the large area initially and then finishing of with precision work on individual veins.
IPL is an advanced non-evasive treatment which can eliminate these unsightly blemishes without injections or surgery.
The energy from the intense pulse light coagulates the blood in the vein, causing it to become redundant and eventually disappears. The duration and number of treatments varies depending on the area to be covered and type of lesions requiring treatment. Therefore a treatment plan is developed with your red vein specialist.
Cost of treatment is from £35 per 15 minutes and this will be discussed at your initial consultation along with treatment options and expected results.
