Two treatments, matched to the vein
Not all thread veins respond to the same approach, and having both options means choosing properly rather than making one method fit everything. At consultation we will look at your veins and explain which approach suits them, and sometimes that means a combination of both.
What to expect
Most people need a course. Facial veins often clear in one to three sessions, while leg veins usually take more with results building gradually. Afterwards, expect some redness or slight swelling along the treated vessels for a day or two. Leg veins treated with microsclerotherapy may look slightly bruised initially, and compression stockings are sometimes recommended for a short period.
Worth knowing
New thread veins can develop over time, particularly on the face where sun exposure and genetics both play a part. Treating what is there now works well, and occasional maintenance keeps things clear. Leg veins are sometimes linked to underlying venous problems, and if we see signs of that at consultation we will point you towards proper assessment first.
Cost
Thread vein treatment starts from £125 per session, and microsclerotherapy from £100. Consultations with Dr Patel are £25, paid when you book. NHS staff receive 20% off a first treatment and 10% off treatments thereafter.

Frequently asked questions
Laser treatment feels like a brief elastic band snap. Microsclerotherapy involves a very fine needle and most people find it easily tolerable.
Facial veins often show improvement within days. Leg veins fade over several weeks.
Treated veins do not return, though new ones can develop over time.
These are usually treated in separate appointments as the methods differ.
Sun exposure on treated areas, and heavy exercise for a day or two.
