What is VeinWave?

VeinWave^TM is a revolutionary technique to eliminate spider veins and fine thread veins, known as telangiectasia.

How does the treatment work?

Utilising the principle of thermo coagulation, the VeinWave^TM is unique in its use of microwaves to heat the vessels (utilising a very high frequency energy), which generally results in the immediate disappearance of the spider/fine thread veins.

VeinWave^TM is the only treatment of its kind having been approved in the treatment of spider/fine veins by the American FDA.

VeinWave^TM treatment is a walk in walk out procedure and is relatively painless.

Is the treatment permanent?

Once a thread vein has been successfully treated it cannot come back. It is, however, possible to make more thread veins but these too can be treated.

How many treatments are necessary?

VeinWave^TM treatments are carried out in approximately twenty minute sessions. Treatments may be weekly or more widely spaced and, usually, requires several treatments to the area. The appropriate timing and likely number of treatments will be explained to you during your consultation.

What areas can be treated?

Unlike other treatments, VeinWave^TM can be applied to all areas of the body. It is particularly good for facial thread veins.

Can all skin types be treated?

Yes

Are there any after effects following the treatment?

After a few days very small micro-crusts like the marks from a cat scratch will appear where VeinWave^TM has been applied. This is normal and no special care is needed. These micro-crusts will disappear on their own.

What can I do after treatment?

Immediately after the treatment you can resume everyday activities. Avoid the sun for a couple of days or use sun block.

Is the treatment safe?

Yes, although pregnant or breast feeding women will be asked to postpone treatment.
