Facial Vein Treatments

Facial Veins that are red are unsightly and blemish the smooth tone of facial skin. They are not necessary for the health of the skin and to remove them for cosmetic reasons we need to work out a way of destroying them without causing damage to the surrounding skin. There are three methods for doing this -

• Linear Cautery
  By cauterising the tiny blood vessel at various intervals along its path, we can interrupt its flow and thereby its own supply of nutrients and oxygen. this was done successfully for years with electrolysis machines by beauty therapists and it is a good method. We have a little advance on this technique now, with the use of the Surgitron. This machine uses high frequency radio waves rather than electricity and appears to be more precise and less painful than the electrolysis machines. There is no real down time and most people can return to work immediately.
• Injection Sclerotherapy
  This is similar to the method to remove thread veins of the legs. This method is good for larger veins and for people with a large network or cluster of facial veins. The solution is flushed through and swells the veins walls thus closing them off. There can be swelling around the area injected which can take a few days to settle - makeup can hide this a little but some clients would prefer to take time off work.

• Lasers and the FotofacialRF

  A laser light is flashed on to the skin. The light scatters and is of such a specific wavelength that it converts to heat energy where there is red pigment, hence selectively cauterising the veins. The FotofacialRF is a a procedure performed by a machine similar to the Aurora Elos system. It is excellent for removing very fine veins and helping facial flushes
