Spider Veins Treatment London, UK

Remove age spots, telangiectasias, diffuse redness and uneven pigmentation on the face and body Benign pigmented lesions may be genetic in origin or may be caused by physical damage such as sunburn or injury, as well as the natural effect of ageing. The lesions can vary in size and colour. It is always important to ensure that the lesion is not malignant before removing it.

Spider veins, also known as telangiectasias or angioectasias, are small, dilated blood vessels. The affected vessels appear like thin red or blue lines on the surface of the skin and look like spider webs or tree branches. Anyone can suffer with spider veins, and they can appear on any part of the body but mostly affect the legs. Although harmless, they can cause distress as the sufferer often feels self-conscious, particularly if the veins are on an exposed part of the body, such as the legs, which people can see. Micro-Sclerotherapy effectively treats spider veins. It’s often considered the treatment of choice for small varicose veins. The procedure can also improve related symptoms such as aching, swelling, burning and night cramps. Micro-Sclerotherapy involves injecting a solution directly into the vein that causes it to scar and collapse, forcing blood to reroute through healthier veins. The collapsed vein is reabsorbed into local tissue and eventually fades.

Thread veins also known as spider or broken veins are usually very near the surface of the skin. Thread veins are not regarded as a serious medical problem but can ache and cause concern to some people especially if they are on exposed areas such as the legs or face. At Spa Clinique we treat such veins using the method Micro-electrocautery using an Apiderme. The Apiderme is a precision correction system which uses micro-electrocautery. It can be used for treating tiny thread veins, spider naevi, telangiectasia, cherry haemangiomas, cambell de morgan spots as well as skin tags and milia. When treating thread veins we use the Apiderme for most facial veins and for the tiny leg veins that can not be treated with sclerotherapy. There are no major side effects, no bruising, allergies, or sensitivities. The treated skin may be a little red after treatments but this soon settles down

Traditional methods for hair removal included plucking, shaving, waxing, electrolysis and chemical depilatories. Some are painful, some are messy, all of them are time consuming and costly.
