Thread Vein Removal

Thread vein removal with Apilus advanced electrolysis is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure designed to eliminate unsightly thread veins, also known as spider veins or broken capillaries. The Apilus system employs advanced electrolysis technology, utilizing a fine, sterile probe to deliver a precise electrical current directly to the targeted blood vessels. This process causes coagulation and subsequent closure of the vessels, leading to their gradual disappearance over time. The treatment is suitable for various areas of the body, particularly the face where thread veins commonly appear.

Apilus advanced electrolysis is known for its effectiveness, precision, and minimal discomfort, making it a popular choice for individuals seeking a safe and efficient solution to improve the appearance of visible veins on the skin.

Does it hurt?

The level of discomfort during thread vein removal can vary from person to person. Some individuals may experience only minor discomfort, often described as a mild stinging or pricking sensation, while others may find it slightly more uncomfortable. The sensation is generally brief, as the treatment is designed to be relatively quick.

How long does it take to heal?

It's common for the treated area to show some redness or mild swelling immediately after the procedure. However, these side effects typically subside within a few hours to a couple of days. It's important to follow any post-treatment care instructions provided by your therapist, which may include avoiding sun exposure, using recommended skincare products, and refraining from activities that could irritate the treated area.

Individual healing times can vary, and some people may notice a gradual improvement in the appearance of their treated veins over several weeks. It's advisable to discuss specific details and expectations with your therapist before undergoing the procedure to ensure a clear understanding of what to expect during and after treatment.

How many treatments are needed?

The number of treatments needed for thread vein removal can vary based on several factors, including the size and severity of the veins, individual skin characteristics, and the desired level of improvement. In many cases, multiple sessions may be recommended to achieve optimal results.

Some individuals may see a noticeable improvement after just one treatment, while others may require several sessions spaced out over weeks or months for more stubborn or widespread thread veins. The exact number of treatments can be determined during an initial consultation with a qualified therapist, who will assess your specific situation and provide personalised recommendations.

It's important to note that while the treated veins may disappear or become less visible after the sessions, new veins may develop over time. Maintenance sessions might be suggested to address any new concerns or to enhance and prolong the results.
