Everything you need to know about treating leg veins
Unlike varicose veins, which can cause leg ulcers and other medical complications, small leg veins are just seen as a cosmetic problem. These small, dilated blood vessels are extremely common but can be socially embarrassing and restrict clothing choices.
leg thread vein removal
If you’re wondering what the best treatment for leg thread veins is, there are currently two main methods available to treat the smaller leg thread veins, these are Laser treatment and sclerotherapy (the injection of a sclerosing agent into the vessels). A careful examination is important to identify the veins that will improve with Sclerotherapy injections and those which will improve with laser treatment.
Microsclerotherapy is injection of a chemical such as Aethoxysklerol or Polidocanol (Sclerovein) to cause irritation of the vein wall which leads to closure of the vein wall.
Laser treatment is suited to some very small veins which are not injectable. Lasers to treat spider veins in the legs work by producing powerful light. If the wavelength of the system is matched to a target colour (such as the red cells in blood), the energy of the laser is absorbed specifically by that target and minimally by the surrounding tissues. The laser delivers a series of focused energy pulses generating heat for very short periods of time; this closes down the thread veins, without perforating them. The collapsed veins are gradually dissolved and removed by the body’s immune system over several weeks following the treatment. The laser is fired in short bursts, which feels like a hot pin-prick. Before, during and/or following treatment the skin is cooled which reduces this sensation and a cooling gel applied.
During your initial consultation a treatment plan will be formulated to advise you of the best treatments for the leg thread veins.
