Thread veins tend to branch and give a spidery sort of pattern hence their common name. Thread veins are completely harmless.

Thread veins can be more visibly ageing than lines and wrinkles, leading many people to take action to remove them.

A number of factors contribute to the appearance of thread veins on your skin, but they are all related fundamentally to placing pressure on capillaries and finer veins, resulting in damage or expansion. These factors include, genetic inheritance, ageing, sun-damage, alcohol, smoking, hormonal changes.

We remove unsightly facial red veins (thread veins) by thermolysis using electrolysis and disposable needles. A tiny needle travels over the skin, emitting an electric current which cauterises the blood supply and seals the broken vein.
