Thread Vein Treatments

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 Middlewich Cosmetic Treatments we treat such veins using 2 methods:

• Sclerotherapy and micro sclerotherapy
• Micro-electrocautery using an Apiderme

Sclerotherapy 

Sclerotherapty has been used for decades and has advanced over the years.  The technique is used primarily for leg thread veins.

The veins are injected with a solution known as a sclerosant, which damages the vein wall, the body then slowly absorbs the damaged tissues making the vein less obvious or unnoticeable to the eye.

The treatment is surprisingly  pain free for some individuals, others feel minimal discomfort. This is probably due to the fact the needles used which are very small. 

Veins usually need more than one injection to achieve the affect you desire this often depends on the size of the vein.

We recommended  treatments are spaced out at least every 4 weeks when treating the same area.

The number of treatments needed is determined by:

• The number of thread veins that you wish to have removed 
• The size of the veins
• How well the veins respond to the treatment

After leg treatment we recommend:

• You wear support stockings.
• Avoid alcohol and aspirin for 24 hours. 
• Avoid long periods of standing for 72 hours. 
• Do not fly for at least 7 days or longer depending on the treatment and the length of flight.

Thread Veins are caused by many factors including: 

• Sun damage
• Hormonal changes
• Hereditary
• Trauma
• Pregnancy
• Pressure from varicose veins

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.
