THERMAVEIN®

What is ThermaVein®:

ThermaVein® delivers a fast and effective rapid solution for the treatment of red veins and vascular blemishes. Red veins are cosmetically unsightly and are too fine to be treated in the same way as larger veins. Our ThermaVein® thermo-coagulation device offers a complete solution, is a totally safe treatment, clinically proven and permanent.

ThermaVein® can be used to treat:

– Facial thread veins

– Spider Veins

– Telangiectasia

– Milia (small white dots usually on the face)

– Skin tags

– Campbell-de-Morgan spots (red dots or bumps anywhere on the body)

– Cherry Angiomas/blood spots

– Blackheads

– Warts

How does ThermaVein® work:

ThermaVein® does not use laser, IPL or injections, and simply uses a process called Thermocoagulation. Thermocoagulation works by gently joining the two walls of the vein together. The three steps are below.

ThermaVein® uses heat to seal the veins. It does not use electro-coagulation and unlike laser, diathermy and IPL it does not carry the same risk of scarring and burns. There are no chemicals involved, no injections and no incisions. A very low current of 4MHz is used during treatment. The low current and the fact that ThermaVein® does not treat the blood means ThermaVein® is very safe for patients.

What to expect during the treatment:

Before your treatment, you'll have an in-depth consultation with Claire to help you understand more about ThermaVein® and to make sure it is a suitable treatment for you. The area will be cleansed and the treatment will begin. During treatment a slight tingling sensation can be felt. If treating red veins Claire will finish the treatment by applying Aloe Vera gel which will soothe the area and start the healing process.

What to expect after the treatment:

In the case of red veins, following the treatment skin will be red and feel warm. In most cases redness will calm down within a day, depending on skin type. There may be slight redness in the surrounding skin which lasts longer and the area will also be dry, scab, darken or crust for 7-10 days. The vessels that were treated will gradually fade and be broken down by the body. Further treatments can be carried out after 4-6 weeks if necessary.

In the case of skin tags or warts the area around the lesion will be slightly red, this will subside within a day. 2-3 days after treatment a scab may form which may then take 7-10 days to fall off, and may leave a pink smooth area. Further treatments can be carried 2 weeks later if necessary.

Aftercare:

You can return immediately to your normal activities. No specific aftercare is required. You may apply a small amount of aloe Vera gel to the treated area twice a day for the first few days. Try to avoid heavy scrubbing or picking at the area.
