If you’ve been struggling with thread veins on the face, spider veins on your cheeks, or other visible veins, you may be considering a treatment to help clear your skin and restore your confidence. At Dr Newmans Clinic, we offer a range of effective treatments, including thread vein removal through a technique known as thermocoagulation.

In this blog, we’ll take you through what you can expect during your primary appointment and after your treatment, ensuring that you feel well-prepared for your visit and understand the benefits of choosing our clinic for your facial thread veins treatment.

What to Expect During Your Primary Appointment

Your journey at Dr Newmans Clinic begins with a comprehensive consultation and skin assessment. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Full Medical History Review

During your primary appointment, our expert doctors will begin by taking a detailed medical history. This helps us understand any underlying health conditions that could influence your treatment options or recovery. It’s essential to share information about your skin history, including any previous treatments or known conditions, so we can provide the safest and most effective care for your needs.

2. Skin Assessment with Polarised Light

Next, we will assess your skin with magnified polarised light to get a clearer view of your skin’s condition. This advanced technology helps our specialists identify the precise nature of your thread veins on the face and any other possible underlying skin conditions, such as rosacea or acne. This step is crucial for diagnosing whether you have facial thread veins and whether additional skincare support is needed to address underlying concerns.

3. Treatment Planning

Once your skin assessment is complete, our team will discuss the best treatment options tailored to your specific needs. If you’re seeking spider vein removal or thread vein removal, we will likely recommend thermocoagulation, a highly effective and minimally invasive procedure that uses targeted heat to remove the damaged veins.

4. Thermocoagulation: The Treatment for Thread Veins

Thermocoagulation is a cutting-edge treatment that uses heat to target and close off the blood vessels responsible for thread veins and spider veins. It’s a popular method for facial thread vein removal because it’s precise, non-invasive, and causes minimal discomfort.‍

5. What Happens During Thermocoagulation?

The Process: A fine needle is inserted into the vein, and heat is applied to the blood vessel. This heat causes the walls of the vessel to stick together and collapse, cutting off the blood flow. Over the following weeks, the vein is absorbed by your body, and the skin becomes smoother and clearer.

Slight Discomfort but No Pain: While thermocoagulation can feel slightly uncomfortable, it is generally not painful. Many patients report only mild discomfort during the procedure, which is well tolerated. The results, however, are highly rewarding, with most people experiencing a noticeable improvement in their appearance soon after treatment.

6. Aftercare

Post-treatment care is essential to ensure optimal results and a smooth recovery process. After thread vein removal, your skin may appear slightly red or swollen for a few hours to a couple of days. However, this is a normal part of the healing process.

Here’s what you can expect after your thread vein removal session:

1. Minimal Downtime: Most patients can resume their regular activities immediately after the treatment. There may be minor redness or sensitivity, but this usually resolves quickly.
2. Gentle Skincare: We recommend using gentle skincare products and avoiding excessive sun exposure for a few weeks after your treatment to prevent irritation and ensure the best results.
3. Follow-Up Appointments: Whilst results will appear very soon, most patients require multiple sessions to get the best results.
