Laser & IPL Facial Broken Vein Removal

Are you tired of feeling self-conscious about visible thread veins on your skin? At Sophia Wyatt Skin Clinic in Send near Woking and Guildford, we have the solution you’ve been waiting for – Laser and IPL Thread Vein Removal! This cutting-edge treatment can help you achieve clearer, smoother skin, and more youthful skin.

Facial thread veins or broken red veins (telangiectasia) are small unsightly superficial red, purple or blue veins that occur around the nose and across the cheeks and chin.  These broken veins occur when the vein dilates and become larger so they are visible through the transparency of the skin.  Although facial veins / spider veins are quite common they can cause some distress and embarrassment for those who have them.

Facial veins may be hereditary or as a result of a variety of factors including damage from sun exposure, wind and the extremes of temperature.  The over use of steroid creams and certain auto immune conditions may also induce thread veins.  Often the exact cause is unknown and may just be part of the natural ageing process or as a part of a skin condition called rosacea.

Facial vessels are effectively treated with Intense Pulse Light (IPL) or laser with minimal downtime or risk in just a few quick, easy treatments.

Treatment is suitable for you if you want to:

    • Reduce overall facial redness and reduce blushing

    • Be rid of embarrassing broken veins or red spots

    • Have clearer, brighter, fresher looking skin

    • Suitable for face, neck and chest

  2. Telangiectasia: Small, visible blood vessels often seen on the face, particularly around the nose and cheeks.

  10. Nevus Flammeus (Flame Nevus): A flat, red birthmark that can appear anywhere on the body, often referred to as a “stork bite.”

It’s important to note that the effectiveness of IPL or laser treatment may vary depending on the type, size, and location of the vascular lesion, as well as individual skin characteristics. Consultation with a qualified dermatologist or medical professional is crucial to determine the most suitable treatment approach and to manage expectations regarding the outcome of vascular lesion removal.

FAQs

How does the treatment work?
Light energy is applied to the skin where it is readily absorbed by blood vessels, heating them to a point where they are destroyed. Following treatment, the vessels quickly clear as they are reabsorbed by the body, leaving little or no trace of the original lesion.
The light applicator is placed on the skin and a short pulse of light is released. The applicator is moved to the neighbouring area and the process is repeated until the entire area is treated. During treatment, protective eyewear will be provided.
Treatment is suitable for most people. Best results are obtained for those with fair skin, and there is less chance of side effects.
Treatment is mildly uncomfortable but there is no need for anaesthesia and the procedure is actually quite quick. Sensations vary but most describe it as a very quick hot pin prick.
After treatment the area may feel warm for a few hours. Rarely, some delicate skin areas such as the cheeks or décolleté can be red and slightly swollen for up to 48 hours. Though very rare, there is a chance a small blister may form and there could be temporary lightening or darkening of the skin.
Treatments typically take from 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the type and size of lesion.
Most red skin lesions, including facial thread veins, rosacea, spider naevi, and port wine stains, can be treated very successfully. Depending on the lesions, leg vessels can also respond well to treatment.
Typically 3 to 5 treatments are needed for optimum results, though small lesions may clear in just a single session. Repeat treatments are spaced every 4 to 6 weeks. Consultation Procedure Prior to treatment you must first undergo a consultation where details about your medical history are obtained in order to confirm suitability. Before proceeding you will be asked to sign a consent form and undergo a test patch.
The Sophia Wyatt Skin Clinic has high calibre equipment to complete the task.  More importantly we really understand how laser light works and interacts with the skin. Our LUMINA system is from Lynton Lasers, who have been manufacturing lasers and IPL’s for over 20 years and their knowledge and expertise is passed onto us.
