Thread Vein Treatment

Microsclerotherapy

This involves injecting a small amount of a sclerosant into inside of the thread veins using a very fine needle. No local anaesthetic is required and only minimal discomfort is experienced during the procedure. Several veins can be treated at a time, however multiple thread veins on both legs may require treatment on more than one occasion. Dressings and a compression bandage are applied for some patients following the treatment and can be removed after one day.

Veinwave

This uses a thermo-coagulation (heating) technique to obliterate superficial thread veins. A very fine needle is introduced over the vein which transmits the local heating effect and in most cases the vein disappears instantly without bruising or discomfort. No local anaesthetic is necessary and no bandaging is required. It is suitable for most of the thread veins affecting the lower limbs.
