How does ThermaVein work?
ThermaVein uses a thermocoagulation process to remove a number of vascular blemishes. A sterile insulated probe with a 4Mhz current is applied to the skin causing the vein to empty. Thermavein then creates a seal by gently heating the vein wall, allowing the body to naturally reabsorb the vein.
The low current ensures the blood does not coagulate making it a very safe and sought after walk-in walk-out treatment.
The treatment is instant, effective and permanent.
What can I expect?
ThermaVein treatment is relatively quick with sessions lasting a maximum of 15 minutes. You will be invited for a free, no obligation consultation at which point we will discuss how Thermavein can help you. We will also cover your medical history and medication and ensure there are no contra-indications. Importantly, we will also discuss what you can realistically expect from the treatment.
Once skin has been cleaned the needle is applied to the area with a small amount of pressure. A pulse of energy is then sent to the targeted area. Most people liken the sensation to a hair being pulled or lower in terms of tolerance. When treating sensitive areas such as just inside the nostril/upper lip there may be a little eye watering which is more a physical reaction due to stimulation of nerve endings rather than actual pain.
You can expect the surrounding skin to be pink after, this is perfectly normal and can (but not for all) last for up to four weeks. It is therefore important to consider when to have your treatment especially if any social events or a holiday are imminent. Aloe vera gel is used to cool and soothe the treated area and you may wish to purchase some to use at home in the days following your treatment. Aftercare will be discussed with you and a written copy supplied. A follow-up appointment will be offered at 4-6 weeks.
