FACIAL THREAD VEINS
Also known as spider veins, facial thread veins are small, visible veins that commonly appear on the nose, cheeks, and chin, often resulting from broken capillaries close to the surface of the skin.

These veins may be harmless but can be a source of self-consciousness for many people. This condition can affect anyone, regardless of age and can be treated effectively with the right approach. At Define Clinic, we specialise in safe and effective facial thread vein treatments, designed to help restore your skin’s natural, even tone.
Understanding Facial Thread Veins
Facial thread veins, also known as spider veins or broken capillaries, are thin, red or purple blood vessels located close to the skin’s surface. While factors such as genetics, sun exposure, and ageing can make people more susceptible, lifestyle choices and environmental factors can also play a role. Fortunately, advanced treatments make it possible to minimise or eliminate thread veins.

How Our Treatments Work
Our approach to treating facial thread veins involves laser technology, which precisely targets and reduces the appearance of these small veins without damaging the surrounding skin. The laser emits focused light energy that is absorbed by the vein, causing it to break down and gradually fade. Laser treatment is minimally invasive, and most patients experience little to no discomfort during the procedure.
