All treatments are performed by Ann Gibbons, Level 5 Aesthetics Practitioner, in a welcoming clinical setting in Lower Stondon.

What Are Thread Veins?

Thread veins are small, visible blood vessels that appear close to the surface of the skin. They are often red, purple or blue in colour and can appear on areas such as the nose, cheeks or chin.

These veins are sometimes referred to as:

  • Spider veins
  • Broken capillaries
  • Facial telangiectasia
  • Red veins on the nose or cheeks

While thread veins are usually harmless, many people choose to treat them for cosmetic reasons, particularly when they become more noticeable over time.

Causes of Facial Thread Veins

There are several factors that may contribute to the development of thread veins on the face, including:

  • Genetics
  • Ageing and thinning skin
  • Sun exposure
  • Rosacea or skin sensitivity
  • Hormonal changes
  • Temperature extremes
  • Alcohol consumption

A consultation at Shamrock Clinic allows us to assess your skin and recommend the most suitable treatment approach.

Electrocoagulation / Thermocoagulation

Electrocoagulation and thermocoagulation are precise treatments used to safely target individual veins.

A very fine probe is applied to the affected vessel, delivering a controlled pulse of heat energy that seals the vein. Once treated, the vein is naturally absorbed by the body over time, leaving the skin looking clearer.

This treatment is particularly effective for:

  • Thread veins on the nose
  • Spider veins on the cheeks
  • Small facial veins on the chin
  • Localised areas of facial redness

The treatment is quick and precise, making it suitable for small targeted areas.

Preventative Advice & Skincare Guidance

In addition to treatment, Shamrock Clinic provides advice on how to reduce the risk of new veins forming.

After treatment, Ann will discuss factors that may help maintain results, including:

  • Using daily sun protection
  • Avoiding extreme heat exposure
  • Managing rosacea triggers
  • Using gentle skincare products
  • Protecting sensitive skin from environmental stress

These steps can help support long-term skin health and reduce the likelihood of additional thread veins appearing.

Most clients describe the sensation as a brief warm or stinging feeling. The treatment is very quick and generally well tolerated.

Once a vein has been successfully treated, it will not return. However, new veins may develop over time depending on skin type, genetics and lifestyle factors.

Some veins may clear after a single treatment, while others may require multiple sessions depending on their size and location.

There is minimal downtime. Some mild redness or slight swelling may occur immediately after treatment, but this usually settles quickly.

Results can often be seen soon after treatment, although the skin may take a short time to fully settle as the body naturally absorbs the treated vein.
