Electrolysis Thread Vein Removal

Important information

What Is Electrolysis Thread Vein Removal?

Electrolysis is a safe and effective method to treat thread veins (spider veins) using a tiny probe and electrical current. It works by gently heating and collapsing the small visible veins on your skin. Over time, your body naturally breaks them down, leaving your skin looking clearer and more even-toned.

IMPORTANT

What Areas Can Be Treated?

✔️ Face (cheeks, nose, chin)
✔️ Legs (surface veins only)
✔️ Chest and décolleté

Note: Deep varicose veins or blue veins are not suitable for this treatment.

Is It Right for Me?

You may be suitable if you:

  • Have small red or purple veins on the skin

  • Are in general good health

  • Have realistic expectations

  • Are not pregnant or breastfeeding

Who Should Avoid This Treatment?

❌ If you have a pacemaker or metal implant
❌ If you're taking blood thinners
❌ If you have active skin infections or sunburn
❌ If you are pregnant
❌ If you scar easily or have keloid scars

Your practitioner will go through a full consultation with you before treatment.

What to Expect During the Procedure

  • A fine probe is inserted just under the skin to target the vein

  • You may feel a warm, pricking or stinging sensation

  • Treatment takes around 15–30 minutes

  • Skin may appear red or slightly swollen after treatment – this is normal

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

Most clients see results after 1–3 sessions, but multiple visits may be needed for more stubborn veins. Treatments are usually spaced 4–6 weeks apart.

Before Your Appointment

To prepare for the best results:

  • Avoid sun exposure or tanning for 2 weeks

  • Don’t use retinol or exfoliating acids for 3–5 days

  • Avoid alcohol and caffeine 24 hours before

  • Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin

  • Tell us about any medications or health conditions

Aftercare Advice

To protect your skin and support healing:

  • Use soothing gel (e.g. aloe vera or witch hazel) as advised

  • Avoid touching or scratching the treated area

  • No makeup for 24 hours

  • Avoid heat, saunas, hot showers, and exercise for 24–48 hours

  • Use SPF 30+ daily for 2 weeks

  • Don’t exfoliate or use active skincare for 5–7 days

Managing Expectations

Electrolysis is very effective for small superficial veins. However:

Veins may appear darker before fading

Not all veins may disappear completely

New veins can appear over time (maintenance may be needed)
