In this post, we turn our attention to thread vein removal, highlighting some common FAQs about what’s involved, as well as other things you can try to help treat this skin concern. We often carry out this procedure here at our Manchester skin clinic, so rest assured you’re in safe hands!
How do I know I have thread veins?
Aside from seeing these under the skin, you’ll likely experience aching, swelling and cramps in and around the surrounding area – and you might even have itchy, flaky skin as well. At the consultation stage of your thread vein removal treatment, we can help diagnose your skin concern, ensuring you’re having the right procedure.
What’s caused my thread veins?
There are so many factors at play that it might not be possible to work out the cause. However, research shows that age, weight and activity levels can all have an effect, as can genetics (for instance, if you have a family member with the condition).
How do I treat my thread veins?
You could try our IPL technology for effective thread vein removal, which can target and break down these dilated veins, which in turn can help reduce redness of the skin. Our procedures are carried out by trained professionals, so you can be assured you’re being cared for by the best in the business, throughout your treatment.
What else can I try for my thread veins?
Some people find it useful to increase their exercise, and to elevate the affected areas when possible. Others swear by compression stockings, which apply pressure to help with circulation and ease swelling.
What happens if I don’t treat my thread veins?
It’s possible you could develop blood clots in the veins. These could then spread to areas of the body and cause blockages, for instance in the lungs, which can be extremely serious and even deadly.
How can I prevent thread veins in the future?
In our modern lives, we’re often very busy – even if our job involves sitting still behind a desk. However, even in an office, there are a few things you can try:
* Take a quick break now and then, so you can stretch your legs
* Move around the office more – get up and talk to your colleagues, rather than sending an email
* Keep your legs elevated at home – a cushion is just the trick!
* Exercise little and often – and don’t forget, this has tons of other health benefits, too!
