Spider nevi??

[tide]

Is that the name for it? I have had a small cluster of red veins (like a tiny spider) on the side of my nose for years. Please could anyone tell me a way to get rid of it? Went to a beautician a while back who charged me £50 to zap it with a laser but it just came back... feel v vain to be so conscious of it but it just makes me look spotty all the time!

I call them thread veins but yes think your term is technically correct!

I found the best way to treat them was to have them zapped by electrolysis, I went somewhere where the therapist was v experienced. I have had them treated a few times as I have quite a few, but its only £25 a time. I did have laser treatment once but it didnt really work and was very £££.

I do find it v painful (mine are on the nose and cheeks), so perhaps worth taking a painkiller or three beforehand...

thankyou pannacotta! your therapist wasn't in london was she?

No sorry she is in Norwich.

actually I could get there too. If you think she is still around maybe you could give me her number?

She is at Trudis salon and her name is Cate.

This has reminded me that I need to pay her another visit.

Could you not ask for recommendations in London, perhaps with a new thread title?
Norwich is a long way to come (poor train links) to get your face zapped!

Btw, shoudl have said that the last time I went was pre-DS2 who is 2 now, so the treatment prob costs lots more...
