Treating Thread Veins

Patients come to our clinic in Twickenham for vein treatment, so they feel confident wearing shorter summer clothes. Unfortunately, thread veins do not get better on their own. Veins often get worse and can spread over larger areas. Treatment is possible to remove thread veins. Laser and cautery have a role with certain types and areas of broken veins. For larger areas especially those on the legs we find Sclerotherapy give most successful outcome.

Micro-sclerotherapy for thread veins

Over the past 12 years Dr Hemming has been treating unwanted leg veins with micro-sclerotherapy. These are small injections of a special solution into the veins, which cause the small thread veins to close and heal together.

Thread veins commonly appear on the skin. Veins appearing on legs can be linked to poor venous blood return and may be associated with varicose veins or other vein problems. Before going ahead with treatment, the veins need to be examined and tested to ensure this treatment is right for you.

Consultation For Vein Treatment

At Thames Skin Clinic Dr Hemming has designed her bespoke vein assessment and treatment program to ensure your veins are suitable for this particular treatment. If they are not or we believe a different treatment will suit them better, we can offer this instead.

Instead of asking you to decide we use your assessment appointment to offer the most suitable treatment for the areas you are concerned with.
