Visible thread veins on your legs can be a huge hindrance when it comes to joining in on activities this summer. The thought of exposing your legs at the beach, whilst on holiday or going shopping with unsightly veins doesn’t seem like something you would rush to do. You may feel that you can’t flaunt your signature holiday shorts or wear that dress you used to love because you have thread or varicose veins on your legs.
Sclerotherapy is an affective thread vein, spider vein and varicose vein removal treatment for legs. It involves injecting a salt solution or sclerosing agent into several points along the visible vein, which irritates the vein wall and causes it to swell, stick together and collapse. This effective vein removal treatment for your legs can visibly reduce the appearance of veins and thread veins in as little as 8 weeks.

Not sure if you have thread veins?Thread veins are tiny blood vessels that run close to the surface of the skin. They look like fine red, or sometimes purple, wiggly lines and are also known as spider veins and broken veins. They tend to develop as we age and our skin and blood vessels become less elastic.
Although there is no obvious cause, hormonal changes associated with pregnancy and the menopause is thought to relate to their development. Because of this, women are more prone to them than men. Around one in five women in their 20s have thread veins, which rises to half by the age of 40. By the age of 70 over 70 per cent of women have some thread veins. However, nearly all of us are prone to developing thread veins as we age.
Causes of thread veins
– Inherited family tendency to the problem
– Too much sunbathing
– Exposure to wind or extreme temperatures
– Cortico-steroid medicines and radiotherapy
– Prolonged standing aggravates the condition
