What treatments are effective for thread/spider veins?
Treatments can be very effective for the reduction of spider veins, the treatment type will depend on the your skin type and the severity of the broken capillaries, including any underlying skin conditions such as rosacea.
Intense Pulse Light – As the applicator is taken over the skin the light energy is released and absorbed by the blood within the broken capillaries. This causes a rapid heating of the blood which destroys them and allows your body to gradually break them down. This treatment will also be beneficial for reducing facial redness and managing symptoms of rosacea.
Regenlite – vascular laser treatment – this may be reserved for larger, deeper vessels and vascular lesions. It works in a very similar way to IPL, by heating the blood, resulting in a heating and coagulation, allowing your body to effectively remove it. This is another great treatment option for managing facial redness and symptoms of rosacea.
