Thread veins develop when tiny blood vessels become enlarged and visible under the skin. Common causes include:
Genetics: A family history of thread veins increases your likelihood of developing them.
Ageing: Skin becomes thinner over time, making veins more prominent.
Sun Exposure: UV damage weakens blood vessel walls.
Hormonal Changes: Pregnancy, menopause, and birth control can contribute to thread vein formation.
Lifestyle Factors: Smoking, alcohol consumption, and prolonged standing can increase risk.
Medical Conditions: Rosacea and other skin conditions may lead to visible facial veins.
At Irresistible Skin Clinic, we specialise in ThermaVein, an advanced, minimally invasive treatment designed to remove thread veins with precision and minimal discomfort.
How Does ThermaVein Work?
ThermaVein uses thermocoagulation to safely seal off and collapse unwanted thread veins, which are then naturally reabsorbed by the body. The procedure involves:
A fine probe delivering a controlled burst of heat to the affected vein.
Immediate closure of the vein without affecting surrounding skin.
No downtime – clients can resume daily activities straight after treatment.
