A rosy glow can be lovely, but if that pink colouration is due to a fine web of tiny spider veins or thread veins across your cheeks, you may be reaching for the concealer. The same clusters of delicate veins can be found elsewhere on the body, mainly on the legs, ankles and feet.
Some women try to cover up spider veins with unflattering heavy makeup or simply stop wearing shorts or short skirts altogether.
Others feel so self-conscious that they are reluctant to participate in sports or go swimming. This is a great pity and entirely unnecessary as an effective treatment for spider veins is now available.
Spider vein removal at the Light Touch Clinic in Surrey is carried out by highly trained practitioners using Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), an innovative treatment that will leave your skin clear and smooth once more.
The Light Touch Clinic uses the premium IPL machine from Lynton Lasers. The device is placed against the skin and pulsed waves of light are directed on to the spider veins. The light heats the veins making the red blood cells thicken, preventing further blood flow. This process is perfectly safe as your blood will simply find a neighbouring healthy vessel to flow through.
The treated vein will soon wither away. The team at Light Touch in Surrey find the Excelight version of IPL particularly effective for rosacea and spider veins on the face.
Treatments for spider vein removal in Surrey usually take about 30 minutes, and several sessions may be needed to achieve the desired result. Get in touch with the Light Touch team to find out more about the treatment and if it’s right for you.
Your treatment for spider vein removal in Surrey will be done at Light Touch’s clinic. Based in a lovely Victorian-era building in the heart of Weybridge, we are just a stone’s throw from the M25.
Spider veins are sometimes called thread veins, but their real name is telangiectasias. They can appear red, blue, or sometimes even purple. Their web-like appearance is caused by clusters of tiny damaged blood vessels near the surface of the skin.
The damage is caused when the one-way valves in the veins weaken and allow blood to flow backward rather than forwards. The pressure of the extra volume of blood causes the wall of the vein to bulge, and over time unsightly discoloration of the skin will occur.
Spider veins on the face can be caused by sun damage, drinking alcohol, or can be a symptom of rosacea. Women are more prone to spider veins than men as fluctuating hormones are often a cause.
Many women first notice spider veins during or after pregnancy, and both the pill and HRT can be risk factors. However, age, sitting and standing for long periods, weight gain, and family history can all play a part.
The Light Touch Clinic was established in Surrey by Dr Natalie Geary in 2009. Dr Geary is passionate about innovation, and she has brought the cutting-edge technology and pioneering aesthetic treatments usually found in London clinics to leafy Weybridge.
The clinic is aptly named Light Touch, as Dr Geary’s attitude to beauty treatments is that they should make the most of your natural beauty rather than change your appearance dramatically.
The Light Touch team members are all highly qualified and experienced, and committed to the safety and comfort of their clients. Click to find out more about the Light Touch team.
The Intense Pulsed Light treatment may cause a warming of the skin, and practitioners can offer cooling treatments if clients require them; however, the treatment should not cause significant discomfort.
There may be a small amount of bruising or discolouration for 12 to 25 hours after treatment, but this is mild and temporary. After a few sessions, this period of bruising will get shorter.
IPL treatment is highly effective and will dramatically improve the appearance of the veins treated, restoring your smooth skin tone. However, many people experience spider veins simply as part of normal ageing or due to unavoidable factors such as genetic inheritance and hormones.
You may find that you experience spider veins again in the future elsewhere on your skin. If so, you will be able to have IPL treatment again.
