Thread veins have many alternative names. Broken veins, spider veins and capillary veins are a few. They can appear anywhere on the body but are most commonly found on the face, or the legs.If you suffer from these, read on to learn more and to find out how we can help.
Facial thread veins, medically known as ‘telangiectasia’, commonly affect individuals over 50 but can occur at any age. They are small, visible blood vessels in the skin that have become dilated. Initially pink, their colour can change over time. These veins may appear as single threads or connected groups, varying in thickness. Often resembling a spider’s web, they are typically branch-like. Generally, they are not associated with serious medical conditions, and thread vein removal primarily poses cosmetic treatment.
Depending on their severity and location, several effective treatments, such as IPL M22 or Laser treatment, are available for safely removing thread veins. Whether on the face, legs, or another body part, scheduling a free consultation at Derma Revive is the first step to addressing unsightly thread veins.

Facial thread veins occur due to faulty valves in the veins, leading to blood pooling, vein enlargement, and increased visibility, a process known as vasodilation. While exact causes are difficult to pinpoint, various risk factors contribute to their development. Multiple reasons may exist for the appearance of thread veins in a specific case.

Is it safe to have thread veins removed?
Yes, thread vein removal is generally considered safe when performed by a qualified professional. Modern techniques, such as laser treatment and sclerotherapy, have a high safety profile. However, as with any medical procedure, there are potential risks and side effects, so it’s important to discuss these with your practitioner beforehand.
Can you remove thread veins at home?
Removing thread veins at home is not recommended. Professional treatments are specifically designed to target and treat thread veins safely and effectively. Attempting to remove them at home could lead to complications or unsatisfactory results.
What is the recovery time for thread vein removal?
The recovery time for thread vein removal varies depending on the method used. Generally, patients can resume normal activities almost immediately, but it’s common to experience some redness, swelling, or bruising for a few days following the treatment. Complete healing can take a few weeks.
How successful is thread vein removal?
Thread vein removal treatments are highly successful, with most patients seeing a significant reduction or complete elimination of thread veins. The success rate can depend on the individual’s skin type, the severity of the veins, and the specific treatment used.
What are the after-effects of thread vein removal?
After-effects of thread vein removal may include redness, swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort at the treatment site. These effects are typically temporary and should subside within a few days to weeks. In rare cases, there may be more persistent side effects, which should be discussed with your practitioner.
What to do after thread vein removal on the face?
After thread vein removal on the face, it is recommended to avoid direct sunlight and apply a high SPF sunscreen to protect the treated area. Additionally, you should refrain from using any harsh skincare products and avoid vigorous physical activities that may cause sweating or irritation.
Do veins grow back after vein stripping?
Veins that have been removed through vein stripping do not grow back. However, it is possible for new veins to develop in the same area over time, particularly if underlying conditions such as venous insufficiency are not addressed. Regular follow-ups with your healthcare provider can help manage and monitor your vein health.
