Thread Veins

Telangiectasia/broken blood vessels/red thread veins

(reticular widenings of small blood vessels in the skin, commonly known as spider veins).

 

They look like little lines of blood that get bigger and darker over time. Commonly found on the cheeks, nose, upper chest, and upper back.

Cracked or dilated capillaries can occur at any time in life, often due to:

exposure to heat, sunlight, hormonal changes, physical trauma and medication, or maybe lifestyle related. It creates a cosmetic problem, as the capillaries dilate very close to the skin's surface.

This treatment uses diathermy or a mixture to create thermocoagulation, which effectively reduces the visibility of unsightly telangiectasias.

This treatment is not suitable for people taking blood thinners or suffering from a blood disorder.

Treatment can also be used for telangiectasia in the legs.

 

Teleangiectasia Angioma/Spider Nevus Veins

A collection of vessels often surrounds a centrally dilated vessel-"blood-spots".

Commonly found on the cheeks, nose, under the eyes, upper chest, and back of the hand.

Causes include: trauma, extreme temperatures, pressure, and pregnancy.

This condition usually requires an average of one or two treatment sessions.
