Thread veins (visible red & blue vessels on the face and legs) are common for men. They are small dilated blood vessels that run close to the surface of the skin making them visible red, blue and purple wiggly lines. Also known as spider veins or broken veins due to their cobweb-like appearance.
The medical term for them is telangiectasia. The most common areas of the body to be hit by thread veins is the face and legs.
Whether they are thread veins or rosacea, IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) or our Alexandrite and Nd: Yag lasers can reduce the appearance of undesired veins.
Thread veins, also known as dermal flares, are caused by sun exposure, rosacea, smoking or alcohol consumption. They can also run in the family and be inherited.
Veins become more visible as men age and collagen depletes as skin becomes thinner to reveal the prominence of the veins. For men, these red or blue veins may look like webs around the nose and cheeks. They are usually not painful or harmful but can be annoying when you want to bare your legs.
Thread veins can be removed by laser treatment at Bodyvie. Our thread vein removal is one of the most effective and quickest treatments around which requires no downtime. You can get on with your day as normal, without any unnecessary delays to your schedule due to recovery.
For veins, often found on the face, the Alexandrite and Nd: Yag lasers target these vessels using specific wavelengths to target the absorption into the blood, removing them with little or no downtime.
For more superficial veins, a common symptom of rosacea, Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is often recommended to treat vascular redness. IPL is a non-invasive treatment and can be used to remove thread veins on the face, body and legs effectively.
After treatment, thread veins may appear darker for a few days before complete absorption. The number of treatments varies for each individual.
