How To Get Rid Of Thread Veins
Laser Thread Vein Removal in Leicester
City Skin Clinic in Leicester uses advanced laser technology to safely and effectively remove thread veins, offering proven, long-lasting results.

Why Choose Laser Thread Vein Removal?
Thread veins, also known as spider veins or broken capillaries, are tiny superficial blood vessels visible near the surface of the skin. While they are harmless, they can often be a cosmetic concern, particularly when they appear on the face and legs. There are many benefits to using lasers to remove thread veins including:
Quick and effective – Many clients see visible results after just one session.
Minimally invasive – No needles, incisions, or downtime required.
Precise targeting – The laser precisely treats affected veins while leaving surrounding skin unharmed.
Long-lasting results – Once treated, thread veins do not usually return in the same area.
Boosts confidence – Enjoy clearer skin and feel more comfortable wearing shorts, dresses, or going makeup-free.

What to Expect During Laser Thread Vein Removal
Before the laser treatment begins, your qualified and experienced therapist will cleanse the area and provide you with protective eyewear. We will then use a specialised device to apply a gentle burst of laser energy to the vein.
You may feel a mild warming sensation as the laser targets the tiny superficial vein, causing it to collapse.
The treatment is usually completed within 30 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
No downtime is required, meaning you can return to your daily activities immediately.
