Facial Thread Vein Treatment at The Nurse Clinic is performed using Electrocautery. This involves inserting a very fine needle into the thread veins and applying a tiny amount of electric current. The needle destroys all the tissue it touches and the body then heals and repairs the area.
Thread Veins are also known as Spider Veins or Telangiectasia and are small burst blood vessels.
We only treat patients aged 18 and over
