SKIN DERMATOLOGY
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.

FAQs
How many sessions are needed to treat facial thread veins?
The number of sessions required varies depending on the severity of the thread veins. Many patients see improvement within 1-3 sessions, though some may need additional treatments for optimal results.
Does the treatment hurt?
Most patients report minimal discomfort, often comparing it to a mild tingling sensation. Numbing cream can be applied beforehand to enhance comfort.
Are the results permanent?
Laser treatment can provide long-lasting results. However, new thread veins may develop over time due to factors like sun exposure and ageing, which may require occasional maintenance treatments.
Can all skin types be treated?
Yes, our laser technology is suitable for a variety of skin types. Our team will customise your treatment based on your unique skin type and condition.
Is there any downtime after the procedure?
Facial thread vein treatment typically has minimal downtime. Some patients may experience slight redness or sensitivity, which usually subsides within a few hours.

Define is the best clinic in London. I would only trust Benji for my touch ups and Eden has completely transformed my skin with BBL. They are so incredibly friendly and I genuinely look forward to going to Define. I couldn’t recommend them more!

If I had the choice of rating DefineClinic any higher, I definitely would!
All the staff there are lovely, respectful and always happy to help!
I had Dr Sunny & Faye to help and carry out my composite bonding journey.
From my first appointment they were so helpful, trying to gain an insight into what I want in order to achieve my dream smile.
I had my final appointment this week to polish and complete my smile, and I am over the moon with the results.
Couldn’t recommend DefineClinic enough!
Thank you all! :))Joe Gaskell

This was my first time ever getting any cosmetic procedure done, and I’m so glad I chose to have this experience done at define with Rosie. Going into my appointment, I was feeling a little apprehensive as to how my results were going to turn out. I just wanted something to help get rid of a few lines on my forehead without anyone noticing that I had anything done. Rosie took all of my points into consideration and she exceeded my expectations. Not only did she try to calm my nerves by bringing me water and making sure my experience was enjoyable, she also made sure that I was completely comfortable with everything she was doing and she made sure that I had all the knowledge I needed before I continued with the procedure.
One thing I will say about define, it’s a little on the pricier side however, it is worth every penny. You are paying for quality and good results!
If anyone is considering going to define (especially if this is your first cosmetic experience), I would highly recommend booking with the lovely Rosie!

A five star review for five star treatment. I’ve just started going to Define and I’ve decided to have a number of treatments. So far, I’m very pleased with the results. On top of this, every single member of staff is so welcoming, professional and at the top of their game. It’s not very affordable, but you get what you pay for!
