Thread Veins
(Also called 'Spider Veins' or 'Broken Veins')
|
These are small dilated veins within the skin which patients find cosmetically unacceptable.
|
|
The majority of thread veins are best traeted by using microsclerotherpy, a virtually painless injection technique
which causes the veins tp shrivel up and disappear over a period of six to twelve weeks. The procedure is performed in outpatients
over a number of sessions depending on the extent of your veins , and you can drive home afterwards. You will need to wear a bandage
or support stocking on your leg for about 24 hours after each session.
Thread veins that are too small for injections may be successfully treated under laser or photoderm therapy.
These are treatments that use light energy to shrivel up the thread vein and your consultant will be able to advise
you as to the most approriate form of treatment for your particular thread veins.
