If you’re looking for the “Gold Standard” of thread vein (spider vein) treatment, then ThermaVein at Jayne Taylor Aesthetics is the treatment for you.
ThermaVein is a handheld piece of equipment that safely uses microwave currents to close off the “offending vein”.
The low microwave current is delivered safely via a very fine insulated needle which is sited directly onto the vein.
The microwave current then travels for approximately 3mm, causing the vein to collapse in that particular area. The process is repeated along the length of the vein until the thread vein has disappeared completely.
Once a specific vein has been treated, it will not return, although it must be said that additional thread veins may develop in other adjacent areas.
Thread/spider veins are considered “cosmetically unsightly”, mainly if they affect the face, although they can be found in all areas of the body. ThermaVein is perfect for treating the condition, regardless of where it may be.
As usual, at Jayne Taylor Aesthetics, treatment begins with a detailed skin consultation during which a full assessment is made of the condition and area to be treated, and a treatment plan is agreed upon. An improvement is usually seen immediately, but it may take more than one treatment to resolve the issue satisfactorily. An indication of how many required treatments will be discussed with you during the planning stage.
Thread Veins are caused and affected by a number of factors:
The beauty of Thermavein is that a number of other conditions can also be treated, very effectively, in the same way – they are:
Thermavein is perfect for the vast majority of patients (male & female) however, there are a few exceptions if you suffer from any of the following, thermavein is contraindicated:
ThermaVein is a sterile probe housing a very fine insulated needle (to protect the surrounding skin) which is used to deliver a low microwave current to an area of 3mm. The current causes the vein in that 3mm area to collapse, resulting in immediate disappearance.
One treatment may be sufficient to resolve the issue completely, but this will be entirely dependent upon the size of the area to be treated and your individual response to treatments. It is not unusual for two or three treatments to be required to resolve the issue completely. Treatments should be spaced every 6 weeks.
ThermaVein treatment lasts between 15 and 20 minutes per session.
ThermaVein treatment has been described as feeling like “plucking a hair from the skin”.
Recovery time and aftercare are minimal. Bandaging of the area is unnecessary, although some patients may experience a little swelling and oozing from the injection site, which may cause some “crustiness”. This usually resolves within the first few days. We do, however, advise that you wear SPF 50 every day post-treatment, and we are able to recommend specific brands.
Improvements are usually visible immediately, although dependent upon the size of the treatment area, additional treatments may be required before the final result is fully appreciated.
