Thread Vein Therapy
Facial thread veins are caused by a variety of factors including UV light and extreme weather conditions. For genetic reasons some individuals are more prone to develop thread veins than others.
What conditions can V-Beauty treat?
V-Beauty can be used on most facial thread veins, including those inside the nose which have previously been untreatable. V-Beauty can be used on all skin types as it does not cause a loss of pigmentation.
How does V-Beauty work?
V-Beauty works by a method called thermo-coagulation. The energy created by a very high frequency current produces a very rapid burst of heat within the broken vein itself. The energy produced destroys the vein selectively and safely, causing it to dry up instantly whilst leaving the surrounding skin undamaged. The treatment is intense and will result in the vein wall “sticking” together with no risk of it filling up with blood once the treatment has been completed. This causes the vein to collapse and disappear.
What happens during treatment?
Equipped with a magnifying loop, the practitioner introduces the high frequency current to the broken vein via an ultra-fine needle. The needle is sterile and covered with an insulating sheath which protects the skin. The needle is so fine that the practitioner can work very precisely with almost no skin disruption.
How long is a treatment?
The actual treatment takes approximately 15 minutes. Before the initial treatment a thorough consultation takes place; about 30 minutes are normally allowed for this.
What can I expect after treatment?
After a treatment the treated veins may appear reddened, raised and more prominent than before the treatment. These effects will settle within 48 hours. Micro-scabbing may develop on the area that has been treated. This will appear as tiny scratches and will disappear in one to two weeks. Occasionally there is a slight increase in colour on the treated area. This usually subsides after one to three weeks.
How many treatments will I need?
Typically most clients require two to four treatments. In severe cases more treatments will be necessary.
