Thread Vein Removal
IPL Thread Vein Removal
Say goodbye to unwanted thread veins with our advanced IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Thread Vein Removal treatment. This non-invasive procedure is designed to effectively reduce the appearance of visible veins, restoring clear, even-toned skin. Whether you’re dealing with broken capillaries, spider veins, or redness, IPL safely targets and diminishes these concerns with minimal discomfort and downtime.
How IPL Thread Vein Removal Works
IPL delivers controlled pulses of broad-spectrum light that penetrate the skin and are absorbed by the haemoglobin in the blood vessels. This heat energy causes the unwanted thread veins to break down and be naturally eliminated by the body’s lymphatic system. Over time, the treated veins fade, leaving the skin looking clearer and more uniform.

Pre & Post-Treatment Care
Before Treatment:
Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least 2 weeks before your session. Do not use retinol, exfoliants, or harsh skincare products for 3-5 days prior to treatment. Ensure the skin is clean and free of makeup, lotions, and fake tan on the day of your appointment.
After Treatment:
Mild redness or swelling may occur but usually subsides within a few hours. Apply SPF 50+ sunscreen daily to protect the treated area. Avoid hot showers, saunas, or strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours post-treatment. Refrain from exfoliating or scrubbing the area until it has fully healed.
What to Expect During Treatment
Each session typically lasts 15-45 minutes, depending on the size and location of the treatment area. Most clients describe the sensation as a mild warmth or slight snapping feeling on the skin, similar to a rubber band. Cooling technology is used to enhance comfort throughout the procedure.

What areas can be treated?

- Face (cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead)
- Neck and décolletage
- Legs and other body areas
How many treatments will I need?
Most clients require 2 to 4 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, for the best results. The number of treatments depends on the size, depth, and severity of the thread veins.
Does the treatment hurt?
IPL is generally well-tolerated. Some clients describe a warm, tingling sensation or a mild snapping feeling, similar to a rubber band on the skin. A cooling system is used to enhance comfort during the procedure.
Are the results permanent?
Treated thread veins do not return, but new veins may appear over time due to genetics, aging, or lifestyle factors. Maintenance treatments may be needed to keep your skin looking clear.
Who is a good candidate for IPL Thread Vein Removal?
