Safe & Effective Treatment for Red Veins, Skin Tags, Milia & More

Thermavein

Easily and safely treat red veins, skin tags, milia (whiteheads), spider naevi, vascular blemishes, and cherry angiomas with ThermaVein, the gold standard in vein removal. This FDA-approved technology delivers precise results with minimal discomfort.

How ThermaVein Works

Developed in France, ThermaVein uses an ultra-fine insulated needle for pinpoint accuracy while protecting the surrounding skin and tissue. A controlled burst of intense heat is delivered through the needle to each vein, sealing its walls and causing the blood inside to coagulate—this process is known as thermocoagulation.

Common Causes of Red Veins

Several factors can contribute to the appearance of facial thread veins and vascular blemishes, including:

The Treatment Process

This quick, walk-in, walk-out procedure takes just 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.

  • The skin is first gently cleansed.
  • A single-use sterile needle is applied using the ThermaVein device.
  • Most clients describe the sensation as “small pinpricks,” with minimal discomfort.

Who Is Not Suitable for Treatment?

ThermaVein is not recommended for individuals who:

  • Have infectious skin conditions
  • Are pregnant
  • Are epileptic
  • Have a pacemaker
  • Take anticoagulant medication
  • Have fake tan on the skin

What to Expect After Treatment

Small red marks may appear and develop into micro-crusts or tiny scratches, which will heal completely within 2–3 days.

Some veins may initially appear darker—this is part of the natural healing process and will fade over 6 weeks.

Some facial veins may require up to 3 sessions for full removal.

Aftercare Advice

Avoid makeup for 12 hours post-treatment. Do not use abrasive skincare (including
AHA/BHA creams) until the skin is fully healed. Do not pick at any scabs, as this may cause scarring. To prevent new facial thread veins, apply SPF 50 daily and avoid saunas and sunbeds.

ThermaVein Can Help With:

Skin tags are common, harmless growths that typically appear on the neck, face, underarms, groin, and under the breasts, often in areas where friction occurs (e.g., where necklaces rub against the skin). They can range in size from a tiny speck to as large as a pea or more.

The removal process is quick and effective, using heat to cauterise the skin tag. Results are instant, and within a day or two, small crusts will form over the treated area. These will fall off naturally, so it is important not to pick at them, as they are part of the skin’s natural healing process.

Milia are tiny, hard white lumps just beneath the skin’s surface, filled with keratin. While their exact cause is unknown, they are often linked to dry or dehydrated skin.

ThermaVein effectively removes milia using a small probe or sharp instrument to gently pierce the surface. A high-frequency current is then applied, breaking down the milia. After treatment, small crusts will form and naturally shed, leaving no marks.

Your therapist will provide aftercare advice to ensure proper healing in the days following treatment.

Blood spots are bright red vascular blemishes, often dome-shaped or slightly raised. They are extremely common, especially in people over 30, and tend to appear more frequently in men than women.

Spider naevi are central dilated blood vessels with smaller capillaries radiating outward, resembling a spider’s legs. They can appear individually or in clusters, most commonly on the cheeks.

ThermaVein offers a safe, effective, and minimally invasive solution for these concerns, delivering visible results with minimal discomfort.
