Thermavein ® Facial Vein Treatment
ThermaVein is a machine which uses a very low current delivered through a needle the width of a hair. Although originally designed for the treatment of facial thread veins, ThermaVein has several other uses.
Treatment Summary
Treatment Time
The treatment itself will last no more than 15 minutes, regardless of the number of veins you have. A 15-minute treatment is the maximum time recommended. Often, ThermaVein treatment lasts less than 15 minutes.
No. of Treatments
The number of treatments depends on the size of the area to be treated. As explained above the maximum time we can treat in one sitting is 15 minutes. If you have a very large number of thread veins you will probably require a second and maybe a third treatment session.
Downtime
The skin may be red after treatment and may have a ‘cat scratch’ appearance. The skin may take a few days to settle down and there may be some dryness or scabbing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What conditions can ThermaVein be used to treat?
ThermaVein can be used to treat: facial thread veins, milia (small white dots usually on the face), skin tags, Campbell de Morgan spots (red dots or bumps anywhere on the body), blackheads, small red leg veins (stand-alone treatment), leg veins in combination with micro-sclerotherapy, and rosacea in combination with IPL and medication.
Does ThermaVein treatment hurt?
Most people don’t find ThermaVein painful but describe it as a tingling sensation or a hair being plucked.
How long do the results last?
The results of the treatment are permanent. Although treated veins can not reappear, new veins can become visible and can be treated with Thermavein if safe to do so.
Is there anything I should avoid doing after ThermaVein treatment?
Avoid intense exercise, saunas, steam rooms and sun exposure for 48 hours after treatment.
Will one ThermaVein treatment be enough for me?
The number of treatments depends on the size of the area to be treated. As explained above the maximum time we can treat in one sitting is 15 minutes. If you have a very large number of thread veins you will probably require a second and maybe a third treatment session.
Who can have ThermaVein treatments?
Although ThermaVein is a very safe treatment, there are some people who should avoid it: pregnant women, epileptic patients and people who have applied fake tan (a genuine suntan is not a problem).
