Vein Removal

The O.F.F. thread vein removal treatment is ideal for smaller veins on the face and sensitive areas. It is commonly used for:

• Facial veins (around the nose, cheeks, and chin)
• Spider veins on the legs
• Delicate areas like the eye area

Microsclerotherapy may cause a mild stinging or burning sensation when the solution is injected into the veins. However, the discomfort is usually brief and well-tolerated by most patients. Some patients may experience slight cramping or pressure in the treated area post-treatment, but this typically resolves within a few minutes.

Microsclerotherapy is best suited for:

• Leg veins: It is highly effective for treating thread veins and varicose veins on the legs.
• Larger veins on the face: Although more commonly used on the legs, microsclerotherapy can also be used for more stubborn veins on the face.

At your consultation, we’ll begin by assessing the areas affected by thread veins. We’ll discuss your concerns and goals before recommending the best treatment option. Both O.F.F. and microsclerotherapy are quick treatments, typically lasting 20-30 minutes depending on the size and number of veins treated. For microsclerotherapy, the treatment involves a series of small injections, while the O.F.F. treatment uses targeted light energy. Both treatments are minimally invasive, with no need for anaesthesia.

Results can vary depending on the treatment and the size of the veins being treated. For O.F.F. thread vein removal, you may see improvements in 2-3 weeks as the veins gradually fade. For microsclerotherapy, the full effects can take up to 12 weeks to appear as the treated veins are reabsorbed by the body.

Most patients see significant improvements after one treatment, but some may require additional sessions depending on the extent of their thread veins. Your practitioner will discuss a personalised treatment plan during your consultation.

Scarring is rare with both O.F.F. thread vein removal and microsclerotherapy. The treatments are designed to target only the veins without affecting the surrounding skin, leaving minimal to no scarring.

Yes, both treatments are suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin. However, we always recommend a consultation to assess your specific skin concerns and determine the best treatment for you.

Once treated, the veins will not return. However, new thread veins can develop due to factors such as ageing or hormonal changes. If this happens, touch-up treatments can be performed to keep your skin looking smooth and clear.
