PROCEDURE
The tip of a bevelled needle as fine as fuse wire, is introduced into the thread vein. A tiny drop of solution will enter the capillary causing it to blanche and tingle for a second or two. It then becomes temporarily more red as the lining of the thread vein is irritated. After a while it will either collapse or swell and stick together sealing off the vein, prohibiting any more blood to enter.

The closing down process can continue for several weeks or even months after treatment.

The width of the broken vein will determine if it is necessary to repeat treatment after six weeks to complete the job. Most clients are delighted with the results after just one treatment.

NOTE: Thread veins may appear at different sites if you are vulnerable to this condition, these are treated in a similar fashion.

Finally: AFTER EFFECTS AND PHOTOS. Minute scabbing or slight discoloration at the site of injection is transient in duration. Legs may feel tender for the next few days following treatment but nothing terrible!
