About

WHAT IS VEIN REMOVAL?

Vein removal treats visible spider veins and broken capillaries using laser therapy or sclerotherapy (injection treatment). Lasers target the haemoglobin in blood vessels, causing them to collapse and fade. Sclerotherapy involves injecting a solution that irritates the vein walls, causing them to seal shut. Both methods result in clearer, more even-toned skin.

COMMON TREATMENT AREAS:

  • Legs (spider veins)
  • Face (broken capillaries)
  • Nose and cheeks
  • Chest and décolletage
  • Any area with visible superficial veins

Process

What to Expect

For laser treatment, concentrated light energy heats and destroys the vein, which is then absorbed by the body. For sclerotherapy, a solution is injected directly into the vein, causing it to collapse and fade over time. Multiple sessions may be needed for complete clearance depending on the size and number of veins.
