Thread veins are usually harmless, though like varicose veins, they can sometimes ache and can cause burning or pain, especially if you are on your feet for a long time. They are sometimes referred to as spider veins or telangictasia, they are veins that appear on the surface of the skin around the face or the legs.

 

They generally appear in small groups of veins on the surface of the skin and look quite different to varicose veins which tend to bulge on the outside of the skin although they can both ache or itch.

Here at The Vein-Clinic, we have two main treatment options:

​

Sclerotherapy – In this procedure, your surgeon will inject the vein with a foam that scars and closes the inside of the vein, causing blood to re-route to healthier veins. After a few weeks, the veins will fade although the veins may need to be treated more than once. Sclerotherapy doesn’t require any anaesthesia and you can resume your normal activities the next day. Side effects can sometimes include swelling, itching and skin colour changes on the skin although they should only be temporary.

​

Laser surgery – also use Laser which is excellent for spider & thread veins. It works by sending strong bursts of light to the vein where they close and disappear. No needles or incisions are needed. Results can be instant. Side effects can include redness, swelling and blanching of the skin for the treated area
