About Red Vein Removal
Precision in Every Pulse: Explore Red Vein Removal with Electrolysis
The treatment consists of a sterilised, disposable needle that is applied lightly to the surface of the capillary. There is an electrical current which produces a heating effect, and when applied to the capillary, the structure and its contents coagulate (dry up & shut down).
The area is then treated with witch hazel a few days following the procedure to encourage healing, which can take anywhere between 7-10 days. This method only treats oxygenated veins, which means they must be red in colour.
Red Vein Removal FAQ's
Where do Red Veins commonly appear?
Red veins, also known as Telangiectasia, broken veins, dilated capillaries, thread veins or naevi, are often found on the face and legs although can appear on the chest and rib area- front and back.
How long does Red Vein Removal take?
The duration of red vein removal with electrolysis can vary based on factors such as the size and number of veins being treated, as well as individual skin characteristics.
Generally, electrolysis is known for its precision and efficiency. Treatment sessions for red vein removal with electrolysis may take around 5 to 15 minutes per vein, depending on the extent of the area to be treated. Multiple sessions might be recommended for optimal results, with intervals spaced according to your skin’s healing process.
During a personalised consultation at our skincare clinic, our experienced practitioners will assess your specific needs and provide a more accurate estimate of the time required for your red vein removal procedure.
What areas can be treated?
All areas on the body can be treated, the important thing to remember is that the veins themselves must be oxygenated, meaning they must be red in colour not blue or purple.
Does Red Vein Removal hurt?
When the current is administered there is a little heat sensation, but it is comfortable.
Is there any downtime for this treatment?
Immediately after the treatment, the skin is pink and can be a little swollen occasionally. The following day the area appears dry and is recommended to keep it hydrated. The area can be covered with makeup the following day if needed, and averagely the skin heals within 7-10 days.
