Are you bothered by the presence of thread veins and yearning to have them removed? If so, you’ll be glad to know that, in many cases, just a single treatment may be all that is necessary to eliminate these unwanted veins.
The Vasculase™ treatment is a quick and straightforward procedure designed specifically to address thread veins, ensuring their effective removal.
These unsightly veins typically manifest on various body areas, including the face, ankles, thighs, and calves, causing cosmetic concerns for individuals.
During the Vasculase™ treatment, a highly focused laser beam is precisely targeted at the affected thread veins. The unique characteristic of this laser beam is its ability to be selectively absorbed by the red blood cells within the veins.
As the energy from the laser is absorbed, it generates heat within the thread vein, effectively causing it to heat up and ultimately destroying it.
The process results in the closure of the targeted vein, which subsequently triggers the body’s natural absorption mechanisms.
Over time, the vein is gradually absorbed and metabolised by the body, ultimately causing it to disappear completely.
As we journey through the ageing process, our skin becomes increasingly vulnerable to the impact of external factors. During this time, we may notice the emergence of tiny veins, delicately tracing their paths near the surface of our skin. These veins, commonly referred to as thread, spider, broken, or capillaries, can become a visible concern for many individuals.
Treating these unsightly veins involves strategically using light energy directed at the affected areas. By employing this targeted approach, the light energy interacts with the veins, leading to coagulation. As a result, the blood within these superficial veins thickens and clots, causing the veins to be rendered less visible.
However, it is important to note that while the blood within these veins is redirected to deeper veins, a portion of the unsightly veins may remain visible on the surface. Despite the diversion of blood flow, these remaining veins can still be visually apparent, potentially affecting one’s overall appearance.
As you undergo the Vasculase™ treatment, you can expect to experience certain sensations that accompany the procedure. As the laser is applied to the skin, you may feel a warming or heating sensation. This sensation is a result of the laser energy interacting with the targeted veins, causing them to undergo a process known as photocoagulation. During this process, the laser energy is absorbed by the blood within the veins, leading to their closure and subsequent disappearance.
The heating sensation experienced during the treatment is a normal and expected response. It indicates that the laser is effectively targeting the veins and initiating the desired therapeutic effect. While the sensation may vary from person to person, it is generally described as a mild to moderate warmth or heat. Rest assured that the treatment is designed to be tolerable and is typically well-received by individuals undergoing the procedure.
Regarding the number of treatments required, it is typically expected that a single session of the Vasculase™ treatment will be sufficient to address the visible veins. However, it is important to note that the depth of the veins and individual factors can influence the treatment plan. In some cases, individuals may require additional sessions to achieve optimal results, particularly if the veins are located deeper within the skin. Your healthcare provider will assess your specific condition and determine the most appropriate treatment plan tailored to your needs.
This sensation is an indication that the treatment is effectively targeting the veins and causing them to close. While typically only one treatment is required to address the visible veins, additional sessions may be necessary depending on the depth of the veins. Rest assured that your healthcare provider will guide you through the process and ensure that you receive the most suitable treatment plan to achieve the desired results.
It is important to recognize that the development of deeper veins and the influence of various factors, such as hormonal changes, weight fluctuations, aging, alcohol consumption, rosacea, and exposure to outdoor elements, can contribute to the appearance or reappearance of thread veins. By being aware of these factors and adopting appropriate management strategies, individuals can proactively address thread veins and maintain optimal skin health and appearance.

As we age we become more susceptible to the outside elements. Little little veins appear close to the surface of our skin. These are often called thread veins, spider veins, broken veins or capillaries. Light is directed to the veins causing the blood to coagulate. Blood is diverted to deeper veins but unsightly veins remain on the surface.
During the Vasculase™ treatment the veins are permanently removed, however, we must bear in mind that deeper ones may develop again, on the surface. Hormonal changes, weight gain, ageing, alcohol, Roseacea and outdoor ailments all may contribute to thread veins.
You will feel a hot sensation as the laser moves across the skin. As this happens the veins will disappear.
Typically one treatment is required but you may require more due to the depth of the vein.
You may see immediate results but with deeper veins results can take longer due to the body absorbing the ruptured vessel.
The area may appear red but should settle within 24 hours. You should not apply heat treatments or sun bathing during this time, and also use a SPF of 40+ sunscreen.
