Thread Vein Removal

image of woman touching temples for Elements Medical Spa
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is our treatment of choice for Thread Vein removal on the face. Also known as spider veins and broken capillaries, thread veins are small visible vessels that can be seen through the skin. They are common around the nose and cheeks, but can occur anywhere on the face, either occurring naturally, as a result of trauma to the skin, or after UV exposure. Elements Medical provide Thread Vein removal treatments from our clinic in Doncaster, easily accessible from surrounding areas of Sheffield and Leeds.

IPL is used to break down the thread veins. The extremely bright light from the IPL is absorbed by the colour within the blood vessel. The absorption of heat damages the vessel, which is then broken down by the body and carried away by lymph drainage.


Laser Thread Vein Removal


All IPL, Laser Thread Vein Removal treatments require a test patch and consultation seven days prior to treatment. This will help to confirm suitability for the treatment. Typically, three treatments are recommended to see a result. Many people see thread veins disappear completely, while others see a reduction in appearance. There are a small number of people who do not see a result from treatment. It is important to remember that vessels can return, or new ones may develop so maintenance treatments may be necessary.


Areas that we use IPL for thread vein removal include:



  • Nose

  • Cheeks

  • Nose & Cheeks

  • Full Face

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes thread veins?

Spider or thread veins on the face can be caused by a number of factors. Some are environmental, some physical, and some genetic. Sun damage, pregnancy, hormonal fluctuations, genetics, ageing, and even excessive alcohol consumption can all lead to thread veins.

What types of thread veins can be treated?

Fine spider veins or thread veins on the face can be treated by IPL. We will be able to do a thorough assessment during a consultation and assess the efficacy of treatment. Book a consultation today!

Does IPL for Thread Veins Hurt?

IPL for thread veins feels a little bit like an elastic band being snapped against the skin. It is very tolerable. We will consult a patch test before we carry out the treatment to be sure you are happy.

Will my thread veins be permanently cured?

The veins that are treated will be permanently reduced. However, if you are prone to getting them or have environmental factors that may make you develop them you may see new ones appearing. These, too, can be treated.

Are there any side effects?

You may experience some redness after the procedure but this should reduce within 24 hours.
