Facial Thread Veins Treatment Cheshire, UK

Treatment is to visibly reduce moles, to flatten and shrink.  Mole is not cut out as this leaves a scar.  Treatment is scar free for a more aesthetically pleasing or invisible mole (in the case of fleshy moles) Review treatment is included.

Thread veins occur as a result of problems in the circulatory system. Healthy veins continually direct blood towards the heart through a series of one-way valves. Occasionally, these valves may break down or malfunction, allowing blood to pool in the vein. This causes the vein to bulge and twist until it becomes noticeable on the surface of the skin. While there is no one sure cause of thread veins, several lifestyle and biological factors may contribute to them: Drinking alcohol excessively Smoking Trauma to the skin or extremities Excessive temperature changes Hormonal changes due to pregnancy or menopause Normal ageing Genetic predisposition

Sclerotherapy for the treatment of varicose veins involves the use of a sclerosant (a substance which seals up blood vessels when injected) and has been used for many years to treat small varicose veins. Over recent years a technique has been developed which allows sclerotherapy to be used to treat larger varicose veins (up to 1cm in diameter). This involves mixing the sclerosant with air bubbles to create a foam. Local anaesthesia is used to numb the skin and using ultrasound scanning, a small amount of foam is injected into the vein being treated. Following the procedure a bandage and stocking are sited on the leg which need to remain in place for around 1 week. The stocking should be worn for a further week after the bandage is removed. Some patients require a second injection for residual veins after a period of 3 to 4 weeks. Most patients are able to return to their normal routine immediately following foam sclerotherapy treatment for varicose veins. Complications are unusual but include bruising or discomfort around the needle site, phlebitis, a small area of skin discoloration overlying the vein and rarely, ulceration. We are situated in the North West, in the city of Chester. Many of our patients come to us from Liverpool, Manchester, the Wirral, St Helens, Stockport, Warrington and North Wales. We are happy to help anyone that lives outside of these areas too!

Sweating is a normal and essential bodily function that helps to keep your body cool. Exercise and high temperatures can cause your body to heat up. When this happens, the millions of sweat glands in your body spring into action and produce perspiration which leaves your body through the pores on your skin. This sweat evaporates on your skin which cools you down. If you find that you sweat all the time, even when not exercising or in high temperatures, then it’s likely that you’re suffering with hyperhidrosis. This condition, also known as excessive sweating, can be traumatic and disruptive to your daily activities or routine. Any of the following in conjunction with a higher than normal level of perspiration, could indicate hyperhidrosis: Avoiding physical contact because you are self-conscious about your sweating Not participating in exercise, or energetic activities, because you’re worried about an increase in your sweating Your sweating is making your job difficult, for example if you’re struggling to hold tools Normal activities, like driving, are difficult because you’re sweating You’re spending a lot of time changing your clothes, reapplying antiperspirant You’re becoming overly self-conscious and less social because of your sweating There are two types of hyperhidrosis, determined by what is seen to be the cause of the sweating.
