The face is the first thing we see when we meet someone, and it’s a part of our body that we’re always conscious of. So it makes sense that you want to look your best—and have beautiful skin.
But what if you have facial thread veins? These tiny, spider-like veins can be unsightly and embarrassing, making you feel self-conscious about your appearance.
Fortunately, there is a solution: facial thread vein removal. Facial thread vein removal is a simple procedure that can help you get rid of those unsightly veins and feel confident again!
Read on to learn more about Is Facial Thread Vein Removal Safe, So How Does It Remove Unwanted Veins? and Safe To Use And Backed By Clinical Trials
Is Facial Thread Vein Removal Safe
Dr Kathryn Taylor Barnes offers the instant and safe removal of facial thread veins, medically referred to as “telangiectasia”.
There are a variety of more commonly used names including thread veins, spider veins, rosacea, vascular blemishes and spider naevi.
The VeinGogh Ohmic Thermolysis System™ provides a superior solution for the treatment of fine telangiectasia and spider veins, without the high GST and consistency of today’s lasers. VeinGogh is the fast, easy way to reliably treat spider veins and telangiectasia often with less discomfort compared to older therapies.
While lasers and other light-based solutions are expensive, skin-type dependent and have an inherent risk of injury, VeinGogh uses a hair-thin, insulated probe to thermo-coagulate and instantly remove vessels dependably, repeatedly, and on any skin type.
Our Facial vein removal, from our Twickenham clinic, is not IPL, laser or epilation.
Our facial vein removal treatment offers consistent results, no known side effects and the highest safety rating – this makes our treatment the natural choice.
We strongly believe that our exclusive technology is the safest and most effective available.
So How Does It Remove Unwanted Veins?
Ohmic thermolysis is the process of using electrical resistivity to selectively thermo-coagulation small, cosmetically unacceptable blood vessels, including telangiectasia and spider veins. Using proprietary Microburst Technology™, the VeinGogh Ohmic Thermolysis System delivers high-frequency energy (4 MHz) to the tip of a hair-thin insulated probe that is inserted gently into the vessel.
Microbursts of electrical energy are converted to heat to instantly coagulate the blood and collapse the vessel wall, which will later be absorbed by the body. Because the probe directs the heat downward toward the vessel, the outer layers of the skin are unaffected.
Microburst Technology
VeinGogh incorporates Microburst Technology, a powerful and revolutionary frequency regulator that achieves fixed amplitude energy, allowing controllable heating of vessels without significant discomfort or visible damage to the surrounding tissue. Microburst Technology allows the VeinGogh to deliver peak modulation—fixing each pulse at an exact, unfluctuating amplitude for greater control. The resulting pulse train also encompasses sharp, precise peaks rather than a flat energy profile to minimise the risk of damage and deliver consistent results.
In addition, each VeinGogh pulse is delivered only when the user depresses the foot pedal. Combined with Microburst Technology, VeinGogh easily prevents the collateral damage caused by the continuous flow of current deployed by older technologies.
In short, it is a quick, simple, dependable treatment of fine telangiectasia and spider veins.
Safe To Use And Backed By Clinical Trials
This technology has existed within the medical industry for almost 15 years, without issue. It is backed by clinical trials and already thousands of successful treatments have been completed worldwide using the unique vein removal process which is acclaimed by international industry experts.
The process seals thread vein walls causing them to disappear, and once sealed they cannot reappear. It does this with high-frequency microwave energy that is delivered individually to each vein via a fine skin probe. Depending on the area that is being treated, i.e. nasal vein removal or cheek vein removal the discomfort is either none or minimal. It has been described as being like having a hair plucked. Patients will see thread veins immediately disappear as the treatment is administered.
Treatments for thread veins commonly require numerous treatments and the results can take weeks to show and old style Laser and IPL can be painful and may pose the risk of bruising, scarring and pigmentation.
With our Facial Vein Removal process there is no risk of bruising, scarring or pigmentation unlike many other alternative treatments. Effective results are usually achieved in one 20-minute session. Some redness may develop after treatment and this will subside over 1-2 days.
We are now proud to bring a simple and cost effective treatment to remove facial veins to the wider public at the Real You Clinic which has been clinically proven to be safe and effective.
Do fillers ruin your face
The most popular fillers used in the UK contain hyaluronic acid, which is naturally found in the skin. Hyaluronic acid fillers are a gel-like substance that creates volume in the skin to give a hydrated, plump look.
Such fillers commonly used include brands such as Juvéderm®, Belotero®, and Restylane®. These fillers are metabolised by the body, so their effects last between 6 and 18 months. They can also be dissolved, quickly, but only using a prescription-only product. Hyaluronic acid fillers are the filler of choice for most aesthetic practitioners.
Practitioners will use different versions of fillers for different jobs. The filler they fill the hollowness under your eyes with, could be different from the filler they use to support your cheeks. Different fillers will have different consistencies. Placement is key as is practitioner who really knows what lies beneath the skins surface. You want someone pretty well versed in all things anatomical. You don’t want someone who has worked in the bank for four years and suddenly decided to become an aesthetics practitioner after doing a weekend course in lip fillers. Yes, you’ve got the message. GO TO A MEDICAL PRO.
Rarely do clients report serious side effects with these fillers, but you will likely experience redness, swelling and bruising at the injection site for a number of days post-treatment.
What other types of dermal filler exist?
Some fillers are made from substances not found naturally in the body. These include products such as Radiesse® and Sculptra®, which, again, can result in redness and bruising at the injection site. They tend to last much longer than hyaluronic acid fillers, but they cannot be dissolved, so if you don’t like the effect, removing them is more difficult.
Finally, you may have heard of collagen fillers. These aren’t widely used at all anymore, primarily due to the fact that most were derived from cow collagen, and often produce allergic reactions.
One other thing…don’t be afraid to make sure your practitioner is using CE or FDA-approved products. Ask to see the packaging and product, ask them questions about it. Google it if you have to! You’re the patient, you are in control.
There are lots of imitations on the market and you DO NOT want these in your face, but it would be extremely rare and unusual for any of the medical professionals on Glowday to be using unlicensed products. If we found out they were, they would be instantly removed from our platform.
Pay for the skill, not the ml
Prior to any filler treatment, you should have a face-to-face consultation with a medically qualified, appropriately trained and registered practitioner who is able to safely carry out the procedure. She or he will advise you on the amount of filler required and will usually recommend starting with small doses first.
I know we keep banging on about it, but please choose a medically qualified practitioner! They will know exactly where to inject to ensure safety, and, should anything unexpected occur, they will be able to quickly resolve any complications.
So, what’s the take-home message about fillers?
That you shouldn’t fear them! They are fanbloodytastic!
Fillers are an incredible tool to pause Old Father Time and his impact on facial volume loss. They are also amazing for sorting out crooked noses (non-surgical nose jobs), dark eyes (tear trough) jawlines (jawline filler – AKA jawline augmentation) and thin lips (lip fillers) – BUT only when administered by medically qualified, highly experienced, aesthetic professionals.
What happens when fillers wear off
If you are getting weary of wrinkles and other signs of age on your face, then you may want to opt for a filler injection. Fillers help to reduce wrinkles and fine lines while simultaneously giving aging skin youthful volume, helping you to look your best. However, some patients at Siti Med Spa in San Diego have recently been concerned that fillers such as Juvederm or Restylane may permanently stretch out their skin, so we have to clear up some misconceptions.
PATIENT’S CONCERNS ABOUT FILLERS
First, let’s outline the concern patients are expressing. Restylane and Juvederm fillers are injected into your face or a different area of the body, adding volume to your face. Patients are afraid that once the filler wears off, the skin will sag because the volume added may have stretched the skin out. This could possibly lead to additional wrinkles and sagging skin that will leave you looking worse than when you first came in for fillers.
DO FILLERS STRETCH OUT YOUR SKIN?
When a filler is injected, it does stretch the skin slightly, filling out sagging skin and tissues that have been weakened over time. However, in most cases, after the filler fades away the skin will recover and revert to the way it looks when you came in. In some situations, depending on the type of treatment, your skin will look even better! For some fillers, such as Restylane, a big part of the procedure is working to stimulate the production of collagen in your skin.
COLLAGEN PRODUCTION FROM FILLER INJECTIONS
Some fillers lead to an increase in the body’s natural production of collagen, which will have a positive impact long after the filler has faded away. Collagen is a protein that improves the elasticity and hydration of your skin, along with fighting wrinkles and other signs of age. By increasing your collagen levels, these fillers can see your skin looking better for years after your initial injection.
FILLERS WILL NOT STRETCH OUT YOUR SKIN
No matter what you hear, a majority of the time fillers will have no kind of lasting effect on your skin. You will not require more filler in the future for the same results, and your skin will not sag more because you opted for the fillers. However, if you have these questions or concerns, make sure to voice them to your physician so they can fully inform you of any risks.
