Fine,
brightly coloured or purple blood vessels running over the cheeks and
nose, particularly around the base of the nostrils are known as thread
veins. They are extremely common, particularly coming on in the middle
years and sometimes associated with skin conditions such as Acne Rosacea.
They are usually a source of great embarrassment. Ladies often find
them difficult to cover with thick layers of make-up before venturing
out in public. Sufferers are sometimes mistakenly branded heavy drinkers.
The good news is that they can be very successfully treated, without fuss and with little discomfort by a method far more successful than laser, known as thermocoagulation. We use the "Veinwave" device www.veinwave.com which in one or two sessions of twenty to thirty minutes can eradicate the vessels. The effect is instantaneous, usually permanent and even treats vessels where laser or Intense Pulse Light (IPL) therapy have failed.
