How long does treatment take?

 

A typical threadvein removal treatment should take no more than 15 minutes, immediately after this time the patient will see a significant improvement in their condition if not a total eradication.

 

 

How many treatments will I require?

 

We have found many clients can be treated in just one ThermaVein session, depending on the extent of their threadvein condition. It would be unusual for a client to require more than 3 sessions as the ThermaVein threadvein removal treatment is very effective.

 

 

How long before I see results?

 

Results are instant, the videos used on this website are 100% genuine and you can expect the same results from ThermaVein. This is in stark contrast to alternative treatments which can take 6-8 weeks and many sessions.

 

 

Does the treatment cure the condition?

 

The ThermaVein treatment will remove visible signs of the condition and in many cases it will not recur. There are a wide range of underlying causes to the condition which may lead to new areas developing. If this happens, a top up treatment will usually clear the condition. If there are concerns of recurrence we generally advise a review of the patient 8 weeks after the treatment if possible and a yearly review can stop any new areas developing.

 

 

Are there any known side effects?

 

Unlike with other threadvein removal treatments, such as Laser or IPL, there are no known side effects. Patients suffers no bruising, scarring or similar and there is no downtime - many people go back to work or shopping immediately after ThermaVein treatment. In addition there is no requirement to avoid sunlight, as with other treatments, although we do recommend sun protector as general skin care advice. Other threadvein removal treatments require patients to avoid the sun as those treatments may burn and thin the skin making it very vulnerable to the sun. The ThermaVein threadevein removal  treatment doesn’t burn and is very accurate, most clients feel a little pinching sensation which we are informed is easily tolerated.

 

 

How long is the recovery period?

 

We appreciate that other treatments require up to 8 weeks recovery, during which time your actions can be severely restricted. As ThermaVein uses a very different technique there is no downtime at all, patients walk out of the treatment and back into their lives unaffected.

 

 

Who can’t be treated?

 

We would strongly advise against treatment for anybody who is aware they are pregnant. In addition anyone who has recently applied false tan.  This point doesn’t apply to sunbeds or people who have been in the sun. Also, we do not treat people suffering from epilepsy.

 

 

Is it painful?

 

We are unable to classify our treatment as pain-free as different individuals have varying tolerance levels. We are regularly told by patients that they hardly feel a thing to the extent that many are unsure when the treatment has started. It has been likened to a pinching sensation or having a hair plucked. This compares favourably to other treatment methods which can be very painful and also damaging to the patient.  Any sensation felt by the client during treatment will subside as soon as treatment stops. We are well aware that many alternative treatments can leave patients in substantial discomfort for prolonged periods of time.

 

 

What is the charge per treatment?

 

We charge from £200 per treatment, depending on the area and time required. An average treatment takes around 15 minutes but a series of 3 or 4 treatments can sometimes be recommended for large areas of thread veins. Reduced fees are available for multiple sessions.

 

 

Are there any clinical trials to back up ThermaVein’s claims?

 

Yes, two studies have been completed on the technology which has also successfully treated thousands of people worldwide.

 

 

How does the treatment work?

 

The treatment is an incredibly simple and accurate process. ThermaVein delivers a tiny microwave current for under 0.2 second at a time, this current travels a maximum of 1.5mm into the treatment area. By comparison this is a similar size to the head of a pin or a grain of sand. The technique causes the threadvein to close and then the current causes it to instantly disappear.

 

 

Is there a difference from Laser/IPL/Epilators?

 

Our product differs substantially from all of the above across all areas to include results, downtime and safety. A major benefit when compared to the above is that ThermaVeinTM cannot cause burns, scarring or bruising - all common side effects of alternative thread vein removal treatments.

 

 

What areas can be treated?

 

Face, neck and hands.

 

 

Is there any aftercare required?

 

We are firm believers in looking after your skin, especially after any treatment, and we would simply recommend Aloe Vera post treatment, although our complementary Dermalogica range of specialist treatments have also been found to be extremely soothing and beneficial by many of our clients.

 

 

What conditions will ThermaVein treat?

 

Spider veins, Thread veins,  Telangiectasia, Nose Veins, Facial redness, Blemishes, Skin Tag, spider naevi, among others.

 

 

Can you treat all skin complexions?

 

Yes, the unit is safe to use on all skin types, but if you have any concerns a discreet patch test should be carried out first.

 

 

Do I need to have gel to stop the skin burning?

 

This is a precision treatment and we only target the vein and not the surrounding area which means there is no burning of the skin as with other treatments.
