What is ThermaVein?

ThermaVein is a thermocoagulation treatment used to remove thread veins (spider veins) and other small vascular blemishes with instant, visible results. It is a quick, low-risk treatment that uses a tiny burst of heat to seal and clear thread veins instantly, leaving the skin looking clearer with no downtime.

When Will I See Results?

How Long Do Results Last?

ThermaVein typically provides immediate visible improvement, with most thread veins diminishing as soon as the vessel is sealed. The final outcome develops more gradually over the following 1–3 weeks, as any initial redness subsides, micro‑crusting naturally lifts, and the treated vessel is fully absorbed. During this healing phase, some veins may appear to re‑emerge temporarily due to normal inflammation, but this is expected and does not indicate an unsuccessful treatment.

ThermaVein delivers durable, long‑term results, with most treated thread veins disappearing permanently once the vessel has been successfully sealed and naturally absorbed by the body. While the original vein does not typically return, individuals who are prone to vascular fragility, such as those experiencing flushing, rosacea, cumulative sun exposure, or genetic and lifestyle influences, may continue to develop new thread veins over time.

Before Your Treatment

You'll have a consultation where you'll be asked to fill out a form detailing your:

  • Medical history

  • Medication or supplement use

  • Allergies

  • Previous treatments

  • Current skin condition

You can complete this form in the clinic or in advance by clicking Health Form at the top of this page.

Common Side Effects

These are temporary and may include:

  • Redness - usually settles within a few hours

  • Warmth - a short‑lived heat sensation at the treatment site

  • Mild swelling - typically resolves within 24-48 hours

  • Micro‑crusting - tiny dry crusts that lift naturally within about a week

  • Tenderness - mild sensitivity for 1-3 days

  • Temporary vein reappearance - inflammation can make treated veins appear visible again before fading

  • Slight pigmentation changes - short‑term darkening or lightening, more common in sensitive skin

You Are Not Suitable For Treatment If:

  • You have an active skin infection, including cold sores, acne cysts, impetigo, cellulitis

  • You have an inflammatory skin condition, including severe eczema, dermatitis or psoriasis on the treatment site

  • You have a bleeding disorder

  • You are pregnant or breastfeeding

  • You have any uncontrolled medical conditions

  • You have a keloid or abnormal scarring tendency

  • You've had recent facial surgery or trauma

  • You have a severe rosacea flare

  • You are photosensitive or have a heat-triggered condition

  • You have a pacemaker or implanted medical device

First 24-48 Hours:

  • Avoid heat exposure - no saunas, steam rooms, hot showers, or intense exercise

  • Keep the area cool and calm

  • Avoid alcohol

  • Do not touch or pick - allow any micro‑crusting to lift naturally

  • Avoid sun exposure - use a high‑quality SPF if outdoors

  • Avoid active skincare - no retinoids, acids, scrubs, or exfoliants

  • Avoid makeup on the treated area - allow the skin barrier to settle

  • Expect normal redness or warmth - this typically resolves within a few days

Aftercare Instructions

First 1-2 Weeks:

  • Continue avoiding heat and sun - these can prolong inflammation

  • Allow micro‑crusting to shed naturally - do not exfoliate or accelerate the process

  • Resume gentle skincare - hydrating, non‑active products only

  • Delay strong treatments - avoid peels, microneedling, laser, or retinoids until the skin is fully settled

  • Monitor the area - temporary re‑appearance of veins can occur as inflammation resolves
