Thread vein laser

3 replies

I've got some thread veins on my leg, a few around the inner ankle and a cluster just above the back of my knee which is small but looks very noticeable as there are quite a few clustered together. I would like to have them lasered and I've found a local clinic that offers the procedure but I'm wondering if anyone has successfully got rid of thread veins this way? I am aware that I am prone to thread veins and that I will probably get more in the future, but if I can get these zapped it would make a big difference to me.

Bumping for you, OP.

@emsyj37 I had VeinWave tratment a few years ago at Dr Newmans clinic, he has one in London and one in Manchester, if you Google him its easy to find. It is followed by sclerotherapy. You have to wear tights for 5 days after so don't go in a heatwave like I did! My male friend had his veins on his face lasered and was a good result, I think it was cheaper than VeinWave but will leave a scabs for a few days. He said it wasn't too painful. The VeinWave was slightly painful though no worse than a bikini wax! Lasering is more widely available and I think I would choose this option in future. Hope this helps.

I have had a scierotherapy three times and each time they have come back. My legs are really bad. I would try the laser treatment.
