Facial thread veins removal (electrolysis/diathermy)

Facial thread vein removal./ Facial thread or spider veins are tiny, discoloured veins commonly appearing on the face. We recommend electrolysis or diathermy to reduce their appearance and restore a more even skin tone.

These methods are available at Aesthetic & Wellness in Chiswick, London. Electrolysis involves passing a small electrical current through the thread vein, which shrinks it and eventually causes it to disappear. Diathermy uses intense heat to achieve a similar effect.

The treatment is relatively quick, typically taking thirty minutes to an hour. It’s also relatively affordable, ranging from fifty to eighty pounds.

Before facial thread vein removal begins, you’ll have a consultation to determine the best technique for the individual. We may offer a numbing cream to reduce discomfort during the procedure.

Once the treatment is complete, we apply a cooling mask to soothe the area. You may experience redness and swelling, which should fade within a few hours.

Results are usually visible within a few weeks. Depending on the severity of the thread veins, multiple sessions may be necessary for the best results. After the treatment, it is essential to avoid direct sunlight and use sunscreen with a high SPF.

Overall, electrolysis or diathermy offers a great way to reduce the appearance of thread veins and restore a more even skin tone. It’s an affordable and effective treatment with prices starting at fifty pounds.
