Spider Vein & Cherry Angioma Removal

Thread veins (also called spider veins, broken blood vessels, broken veins or capillary veins), are small red, blue or purple veins that typically appear near the surface of the skin on the thighs, calves and ankles and face.

Suitable candidates for this treatment include patients over the age of 18 with concerns about the appearance of thread veins. You will require a consultation and patch test prior to treatment and we can then check if you are suitable.

This treatment can target thread veins in a number of areas on the body including thighs, calves, ankles and face.

Only one treatment is typically required. However, during a consultation, this may vary depending on the area being treated. A larger surface area may need to have multiple sessions.  Legs usually require more than one treatment.

During the treatment, as laser technology is used, you will feel a minor heat sensation as the laser moves across the skin. You will need to wear protective eyewear during the treatment.

Cherry angioma also called Campbell de Morgan spots are bright cherry red in colour but can appear blue or purple.  They are very common and can appear anywhere on the body abdomen, shoulders, upper chest, scalp, face, neck, and arms.   It is estimated that over 75% of the population has them.  They can occur at any age or race, however more noticeable on white skin than on skin of colour.   The cause of cherry angiomas is unknown.
