Thread Vein & Rosacea Treatment

Red veins are burst blood vessels close to the surface of the skin and can emerge singularly or as part of a small cluster. Their main cause is stress to the skin, which is why those who spend a lot of time on their feet will often find they develop this concern.

The feet and ankles are places on the body that red veins commonly affect, with the legs and occasionally the stomach (usually following pregnancy) being other areas where they can be found.

For people who are affected by the facial concern, Rosacea, red veins can sometimes appear on the cheeks and/or nose. Inflammation of the skin will often be the cause in this instance. As the face can be prone to redness and ‘flushing’ when affected by rosacea, this can contribute to any red veins becoming dilated and appearing more prominent.

Red veins are not usually harmful, but affected people will generally want to be rid of them purely for aesthetic reasons.

At Dr Nyla Medispa, our team of experts specialise in removing visible red veins from the skin. Using treatments such as ThermaVein, M22 laser, and Sclerotherapy, we target the underlying vessels to restore a clearer, more even skin tone. Treatments are available at our clinics in London Mayfair, Cheshire (Alderley Edge) and Liverpool.
