Thread /Spider Veins: Veinwave®

Overview | Micro-sclerotherapy | Veinwave® | FAQ

With very fine clusters of veins, a process using thermo-coagulation is also successful. The process is most akin to electrolysis

A high (radio) frequency current is sent through a very fine needle into the vein causing the wall to heat up and then break up. On sensitive areas we occasionally use a local anaesthetic cream to reduce the discomfort. The vein that is treated, 'breaks up' and disappears over a few weeks.
