Let’s Talk About Thread Veins
Whether you’ve already booked your consultation or are considering it, this page will give you all the information you need about removing thread veins and any questions you may have about treatment.
It is estimated that one in four women, and an unknown number of men, suffer from thread veins of the legs. Thread veins of the legs are often called “spider veins”, “broken capillaries”, “broken veins” or “venous flares”.
Although in the past many people have gone to aesthetic clinics for thread vein removal, research performed in 2001 has shown that the majority of people with leg thread veins actually have underlying vein problems.
The primary underlying vein problem associated with spider veins in the legs is venous reflux, which often manifests as "hidden varicose veins" that may not be visible on the surface but are feeding the thread veins. This means that treating only the visible thread veins without addressing the underlying reflux may not provide lasting results. This is why you should consult with a medical doctor or specialist like myself before going for thread vein treatment.
Treating Thread Veins
There are several treatments available for thread veins depending where they are. For the legs, the best treatment is usually microsclerotherapy. Laser treatment, IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and electrolysis are best for treating the face.
Microsclerotherapy involves injecting a chemical into the veins using tiny needles. This destroys the vein making the walls of the veins stick together.
As microsclerotherapy closes the veins by inflammation of the wall, most patients get a patch of inflamed skin over the site of the injection which lasts for up to two weeks. This inflammation is actually very good – it is the body’s way of removing the dead vein.
The area then settles down but the full benefit can take up to 12 weeks to be seen. After that you will find that the veins often continue to improve for up to a year after the treatment.
Depending on the number of thread veins on the legs, several sessions may be needed to get the required results, but usually two will be enough.
Why choose Microsclerotherapy?
Compared to other treatments, microsclerotherapy gives the best results. It is the gold standard for treatment of thread veins, with 95% of our patients seeing an improvement with a good or very good result.
Benefits of spider vein removal include a painless treatment and permanent results.
As with any medical procedure, there are some risks involved, but complications with microsclerotherapy are very rare and are generally of a very minor nature.
By having your thread veins treated at the Dr Conlon’s Medical Aesthetic Clinic, you are ensuring that you have a trained doctor to fully assess and perform the best, most effective treatment available.

After seeing Dr Conlon she put me at ease as to what procedure would be suitable for me . More importantly as to what procedure would give me the best results. I decided to try the cologen injections
Dr Conlon did say that it would be about six weeks before I would start to see any change in my skin. I was a bit dubious but low and behold four weeks in I can now see a change. My skin is now looking smoother and fresher.
