Leg vein treatments
If you have a problem with thread/spider veins or ‘telangiectasias’ as they are medically described, we at Court House Clinics can offer a range of non-surgical treatments to deal with this unsightly condition.
Thread or spider veins can be identified by the distended red and blue blood vessels just below the skin’s surface. They may appear as tiny blemishes or can cover large areas and look like bruising or inflammation of the skin which can make the patient particularly self-conscious. Most often they are found around the outer thigh and inner knee area and can appear on the calves and ankles as well as on the face, in which case you should refer to details of our laser treatments for facial thread veins and redness.
How and why such veins occur is unknown but they are most often an inherited condition. There are instances when thread veins occur as a result of some trauma to the skin such as deep bruising or surgery. It is does also happen that thread veins are associated with varicose veins and it is important that such an underlying problem is identified prior to treatment to prevent any worsening of the condition. It is therefore recommended that the first step in the successful treatment of thread veins is for the patient to undergo a Doppler Ultrasound Scan to correctly identify the cause and intensity of the problem. Your surgeon can then make exact recommendations for a successful treatment programme that will give the desired result.
