What is ThermaVein treatment?
Recommended by Dr Hilary Jones, ThermaVein is a treatment solution for the safe and effective removal of facial veins and other vascular blemishes on the face and body.
Considered common skin conditions and normally perfectly harmless, vascular blemishes like broken blood vessels, spider veins, and thread veins can appear on the face and body as a result of:
- Exposure to the sun
- Part of the ageing process
- Hormones
- Genetic predisposition
Regardless of the reason why they appear, thread veins can be quickly and easily removed using ThermaVein.
Offering instant, permanent, yet very safe removal treatment to remove red and purple thread veins, spider veins, and other skin conditions, you can wave goodbye to wearing high coverage foundation or avoiding shorts and vest tops in just one treatment!

What can ThermaVein® remove?
ThermaVein is an instant, safe, and permanent treatment for a range of vascular blemishes, including:
- Milia
- Thread veins
- Spider veins
- Red and purple veins
- Skin tags
- Warts
- Campbell-de-Morgan spots
- Cherry angiomas
What to expect from the ThermaVein® process
Typically used to treat the face specifically, ThermaVein is a permanent treament that takes a different approach to alternative treatments, such as laser vein removal.
This simple and accurate procedure uses thermocoagulation to seal off the vein walls and cause the veins to disappear. Unlike lasers, which present the possible risk of bruising, scarring, and pigmentation, and the possible need for multiple sessions, ThermaVein treatment offers immediate and permanent removal, with very minimal side effects.
Simple and accurate, the thermocoagulation process is applied to each problematic vein individually using a fine skin probe the size of a human hair. Via the administration of a microburst of thermal energy, the temperature of blood in the vein is raised, causing it to coagulate, and the thread vein walls then collapse, helping it to instantly disappear.
Suitable for use across the face and body, a typical treatment should only usually take around 15-20 minutes. The patient will see an immediate improvement in their condition.
Benefits of ThermaVein® treatment:
- Visible veins disappear instantly
- No downtime or recovery period needed
- Instant, safe, and permanent results
- Most people experience little to no side effects
- Suitable for sensitive skin
- No risk of pigmentation loss – making it suitable for all skin types and ethnicities
Considerations for ThermaVein® treatment
Compared to other, much more invasive permanent treatment options, like laser, radiofrequency ablation, sclerotherapy, and surgery, ThermaVein offers the instant relief sought out by those looking for thread vein removal without the discomfort, side effects, or downtime.
Compared to other solutions, ThermaVein treatment is generally considered pain-free by most individuals.
It is important to note, however, as people have varying tolerance levels, some people do report very minor discomfort, like a pinching sensation, similar to having a hair plucked at worst.
However, any sensation felt will subside as soon as the session stops.
Likewise, there is a minor risk of mild side effects, including but not limited to:
- Localised swelling
- Slight redness
- Minor scabbing
- Some very slight, location-specific bleeding
Though rare, if you do notice any of these side effects, you can expect them to pass entirely in the next two weeks and should still be able to observe the immediate reduction or removal of vascular blemishes like thread veins, spider veins, and skin tags.
Plus, as it is considered a walk-in, walk-out procedure, you should be able to go back to work immediately, with no downtime needed.
ThermaVein® treatment cost
Although an exact ThermaVein cost can be generated at your initial consultation, most people can expect to pay around:
- £85 per single vein
- £185 per small area treated (around 15 mins)
- £285 for a larger area (for 30 mins)

Frequently Asked Questions
How does ThermaVein work?

HOW MANY TREATMENTS ARE REQUIRED ON AVERAGE?
Many clients can be treated in just one session (depending on the extent of the condition) and it would be unusual for a client to require more than 3 sessions.
Does the treatment cure the condition?
The treatment will remove visible signs of the condition and in many cases prevent it from recurring.
There is a wide range of underlying causes and conditions that can lead to new areas developing, however, more than one treatment will clear the condition.
If there are concerns of recurrence we recommend a review 8 weeks after the first treatment and a yearly review to stop any new areas from developing.
Who cannot be treated?
We would strongly advise against having this treatment if you:
- Are pregnant
- Have epilepsy – due to head contact rather than the treatment
- Recently top-up false tan
- Rely on a pacemaker
- Take blood thinners
- Those who have recently been on a sunbed or in the sun
For further advice, call us on 01708 225 555 or 01708 222 224 for bespoke recommendations.
Can ThermaVein treat an infectious skin condition?
It is not advised to use ThermaVein treatment if you have an infectious skin condition thanks to the nature of the procedure.
This is because it could:
- Encourage the spread of infection to the surrounding skin
- Promote bacterial growth
- Reactivate a dormant infection
- Be worsened by the treatment
