Varicose and Thread Veins A large percentage of our female population and a growing number of men suffer from vein problems. The two most common and of greatest concern are varicose veins and telangiectasias or spider veins. Spider veins are the small, thin, web-like surface veins, which develop mainly on the face and legs.The larger varicose veins are the bulging veins, which commonly occur on the legs. What
causes varicose & thread veins? How
can varicose & thread veins be treated? Micro sclerotherapy is used to treat less severe varicose veins. The treatment involves the injection of an appropriate solution into the varicose or thread veins using a very fine needle. The solution damages the wall of the abnormal veins which are then slowly absorbed and disappear. Thread veins, particularly those on the face can also be effectively treated with the Photoderm machine. This innovative machine emits a very strong, brief flash of non-coherent light which is absorbed as heat energy by the small blood vessels which are then destroyed.
