Definatly Not! Even dark blue and purple thread veins can be removed very effectively and the results are exceptional.

How is the treatment carried out?

The Gold Standard treatment for leg veins is by injection and this is known as Sclerotherapy. It is also possible to treat larger, varicose veins using this method.

The fluid is injected, using very small needles, directly into the vessels. Once in contact with the internal vessel wall it induces an inflammatory reaction which causes the vessel to swell and close down. Once the vessel has been closed for a period of time the body realises that it is now redundant and therefore broken down and re-absorbed.

How long does the process take?

The veins are injected at regular monthly intervals until the client reaches the point where they are happy that the desired results had been achived. This can take two to six sessions, depending on the number of veins present and the level of clearance required.

Is it safe?

In France sclerotherapy has been practiced for decades and it has been readily available in this country for over twenty years - we have been injecting thread-veins since 1997. If you would like to be vein free simply call The Mapperley Park Clinic on 0115 9692323 to organize a consultation.

Can thread veins in other areas be treated?

Yes - thread veins can be treated wherever they occur. Thread veins on the face are usually treated with a laser or Intense Pulsed Light but the principle remains the same and the results are superb.
