The safe use of Intense Pulse Light (IPL) therapy for the removal of thread veins or spider veins and facial redness or pigmentation, provides results that can be very effective and long lasting. Thread veins are often cosmetic unsightly, especially when they are on the face, and can cause real psychological trauma and discomfort for sufferers.
The medical term for facial thread veins or spider veins anywhere on the body is telangiectasia. They are often hereditary but can be caused by excessive exposure to the sun (photoageing), smoking, being overweight, certain medical conditions and medicines, and are common with rosacea. Thread veins are often found on the face, usually across the cheeks or nose, and on the legs, but treatable telangiectasia can occur in many places on the body.
At Bristol Aesthetic Company, we use the award-winning Lynton Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) machine from Lynton Lasers to treat and remove unsightly thread veins. The British-made device has an excellent reputation, making it the no. 1 professional combined laser and IPL machine, which is why we recommend it to our clients patients.
Conditions treated with Intense Pulse Light (IPL) thread vein removal include:
Red facial veins, thread veins, spider veins on the legs, telangiectasia, rosacea, spider naevi or spider angiomas, and other vascular lesions.
Thread veins, which you may also hear called spider veins, are tiny, dilated blood vessels located just underneath the skin’s surface, making them visible as red, blue, or purple collections of tangled veins. The medical term for them is telangiectasia. They occur most commonly on the legs and face in both men and women.
