Thank you for choosing our clinic for your Thread Vein Removal treatment.

For the best results and a smooth healing process, please follow the guidelines below.

What to Expect

  • Mild swelling and redness: It’s normal to notice mild swelling or redness around the treated area.
  • Possible darkening or scab formation: If there is any pigment in the treated area, it may darken and form a scab. This is a normal part of the healing process.

Post-Treatment Care

  1. Sleeping position: If you experience swelling or redness, try sleeping slightly elevated on extra pillows. This can help reduce inflammation.
  2. Cool compresses: If you feel discomfort, gently apply a cool compress to the treated area. Make sure the compress is clean and not too cold to avoid further irritation.
  3. Topical products: If you want to apply something to the area, use only mild, alcohol-free creams or gels (e.g., aloe vera gel). Avoid harsh products that could irritate the skin.
  4. Makeup:
    • If there is any blistering, avoid makeup altogether until the area is fully healed.
    • If no blistering is present and you need to apply makeup, mineral makeup is recommended because it is less likely to irritate the skin.
  5. Sun protection:
    • Avoid direct sun exposure and sunbeds.
    • If you must go out in the sun, protect the treated area with a high SPF sunscreen and cover up when possible.
  6. Heat exposure: Refrain from hot baths, saunas, and any heat treatments for at least 48 hours post-treatment to avoid unnecessary inflammation.
  7. Wound care:
    • Do not pick or scratch any scabs, as this can lead to scarring or infection.
    • Keep the area clean and dry, but do not rub it vigorously.
  8. Exercise: Avoid strenuous exercise for at least 48 hours to reduce the risk of increased blood flow to the area, which might interfere with healing.
  9. Skincare products:
    • Do not use retinoids (vitamin A-based skincare products) for 2 days before treatment and 7 days after treatment. This helps minimize irritation and promotes better healing.

When to Contact Us

  • If you notice severe or worsening redness, swelling, or pain.

Patient Feedback

I have now had several Skin Rejuvenation IPL treatments on my face to clear thread veins, the difference it has made has changed my life, no more concealer. Helen has been extremely professional and always makes my visits a pleasure. I would recommend anyone with the same problem to have this treatment.
