Laser thread vein treatment 

Facial thread veins

The pulse dye laser is very effective at treating facial thread veins, although small veins at the side of the nose are tough. We use Cynosure's Cynergy pulse dye laser.  Laser treatment does not stop new thread veins forming in the future. The laser emits a powerful yellow light that is well absorbed by the red colour in the veins. As the light is absorbed it is turned into heat and the veins are literally cooked.  The flash of light is so short that the heat does not have time to spread into your skin, and because there are no injections or scalpels scarring is most unlikely.  Please read our detailed advice sheet if you are considering treatment and look at the pictures of the bruising.

Rosacea
We recommend IPL treatment to help in the management of the redness caused by rosacea. 

Leg Veins
Micro sclerotherapy is still the first choice for thread veins on the legs.  Lasers may help if sclerotherapy is no longer of benefit. Please read our detailed advice sheet if you are considering treating your leg veins. We do not treat varicose veins. Varicose veins are ones you can feel with your fingers when you are standing up.
