Laser Treatments for Removing Thread Veins 

At Sparx Beauty, we use the safe and effective Lynton Luminette Advance laser to eliminate spider or thread veins. Lasers work by directing light of a very specific wavelength onto the thread veins.  The energy of the laser is  absorbed by the vein or blemish and the vein is gradually dissolved and removed by the body’s immune system.

The number of treatments  you will need will depend on the area of the body and the density of the vein or blemish. Treatments are normally at four to six-week intervals.

Red or Spider Vein Removal using Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is a popular method of eliminating spider or thread veins.  During this non-surgical treatment, a sterile solution is injected into the vein to irritate its inner lining and close the vein.  To compensate for the loss of the vein, blood circulation is automatically re-routed through healthy veins. 

This treatment is quick, safe and effective.  Sclerotherapy can be performed in just 15 minutes (longer if you have multiple veins that need to be treated) and most patients relate the discomfort to that of a minor sting. Find out more about Sclerotherapy treatments.
