Thread vein and spider vein removal procedures
Thread Vein Treatment
The causes of thread veins can vary, but they are most commonly a result of family history, smoking or sun exposure.
For the red spider veins on the face and particularly the nose we use a cautery laser to remove the redness.
For broken veins on the legs, our doctors generally use injectable treatments called sclerotherapy to remove the blueish red marks on the skin.
Prices for facial thread vein treatments start at £300
Costs for leg veins injections start at £300 and laser treatment for facial veins from £350. Please contact us for information about treatment for varicose veins, which usually appear on the legs and appear lumpy and blue in colour.
All thread vein and spider vein removal procedures are done by doctors in a safe medical setting.

Consultation and Treatment
Private Doctor Consultation
Your consultation with a doctor will be completely private and without obligation. It will review your thread veins or spider veins in detail. The doctor will want to understand the cause and nature of your veins before recommending treatment. This includes how long you have had the veins, the possible cause, the spread of them and more.
Leg thread veins
- that is an unsightly blue-reddy colour
- often found on the back of the knee, thighs and lower legs
- treated by an injection called sclerotherapy that seals off the veins
- can take a few weeks before the results are seen as the vessels need to dissolve
- this treatment is best done in the autumn, winter and spring as tight stockings are generally needed to be worn for a week afterwards
