What is Electrolysis?

Electrolysis treats individual hair follicles by inserting a fine, sterile probe and applying a small current to destroy the follicle permanently.

Is Electrolysis suitable for me?

Yes! Electrolysis is suitable for everyone, including all hair and skin types. It is particularly effective for those with hormonal hair growth conditions such as PCOS.

What are Spider Veins?

Spider veins are tiny, thin blood vessels that can be seen under the skin. They are similar to thread veins; the main difference being their appearance. They often appear in small groups and have a pattern that looks like a spider’s legs or a spider web. That’s why they are called ‘spider veins.’ These veins can be red, purple, or blue in colour and are usually found around the nose, cheeks, and chin.

There are several reasons why people develop spider veins, such as genetics, age, sun exposure, Rosacea, injuries, hormonal changes, and lifestyle. Although spider veins can be unsightly they are very common and not harmful to your health.

Spider vein removal using advanced electrolysis is a straightforward procedure. A very fine probe is used to apply a low electric current onto the surface of the skin directly above the spider veins to be treated. This current creates heat which causes the blood vessels to contract and collapse. The results are immediate, and usually, all or most of your spider veins can be removed in a single session. However, further treatments may be necessary depending on the thickness, age, and quantity.

what causes spider veins

Spider veins are small, dilated blood vessels that appear close to the surface of the skin. They often look like thin, red, blue, or purple lines or web-like patterns and can occur anywhere on the body but are most commonly seen on the legs, face, and chest.

Genetics: Some people are predisposed to developing spider veins due to their genetic makeup.

Sun exposure: Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun can weaken the walls of blood vessels, leading to the development of spider veins.

Rosacea: This common skin condition characterized by redness and visible blood vessels on the face can contribute to the development of spider veins.

Aging: As people age, the skin naturally becomes thinner and loses elasticity, which can make blood vessels more visible.

Hormonal changes: Fluctuations in hormones, such as those that occur during pregnancy, menopause, or as a result of hormonal therapy, can contribute to the development of spider veins.

Alcohol consumption: Excessive alcohol consumption can dilate blood vessels and contribute to the formation of spider veins.

Trauma or injury: Injuries to the face, such as those from surgery or trauma, can damage blood vessels and lead to the formation of spider veins.

Chronic inflammation: Conditions that cause chronic inflammation, such as certain autoimmune diseases, can weaken blood vessel walls and increase the risk of spider veins.

Smoking: Smoking can have detrimental effects on blood vessels, including those on the face, leading to the development of spider veins.

Certain medications: Some medications, such as corticosteroids or oral contraceptives, may increase the risk of spider veins as a side effect.

other therapies used to remove spider veins

In addition to advanced electrolysis, there are several other therapies available for the removal of spider veins. Here are the most common options:

1/ Laser Therapy: Laser treatment works by delivering concentrated light energy to the affected blood vessels, causing them to coagulate and fade over time.

2/ Sclerotherapy: A sclerosing solution is injected directly into the spider veins, causing them to collapse and fade away. Generally used for larger spider veins.

3/ Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): RFA uses radiofrequency energy to heat and close off spider veins.

4/ Veinwave Therapy: This treatment uses high-frequency microwaves to selectively target and close off spider veins.

5/ Microsclerotherapy: This is a specialized form of sclerotherapy for very small spider veins. A tiny needle is used to inject a sclerosing solution directly into the affected veins, causing them to collapse and disappear gradually.

6/ Topical Treatments: These may help to improve the appearance of spider veins on the face by reducing inflammation and strengthening blood vessel walls.
