Thread Vein Treatment
We are happy to offer treatment for thread vein issues however extensive or minor – from huge matted areas covering large parts of the legs to just a few scattered veins.
Thread veins do not need to be surgically removed. We can treat them by destroying the lining of the tiny veins using a very safe, minimal-risk procedure called microsclerotherapy. In the past, laser therapy and other techniques were tried but, in the legs, have proved far inferior to microsclerotherapy which is now the ‘gold standard’ treatment.

We treat all of the thread veins in all areas of both legs in each treatment session; most people require between 2 and 5 sessions, spread 6 weeks apart, depending on the extent of the thread veins.
