Gone In A Flash - IPL Treatment For Thread Veins In Glasgow
Thread veins, also known as spider veins or telangiectasias, are small, dilated blood vessels that appear close to the surface of the skin. These veins can be red, blue, or purple and often appear on the face and legs. While they are usually harmless, many people seek treatment to improve their appearance. One of the most effective and non-invasive treatments available is Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy.

Understanding Thread Veins
Thread veins occur when small blood vessels beneath the skin become enlarged and visible. They can be caused by various factors, including genetics, sun exposure, hormonal changes, and lifestyle factors such as prolonged standing or sitting. Although they are more common in older adults, they can affect people of any age.
What is IPL Therapy?
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy is a popular cosmetic treatment that uses broad-spectrum light to target and treat various skin concerns, including thread veins. Red thread veins (also known as broken capillaries, spider veins or spider naevi) are tiny, damaged veins in the skin itself. They appear as red or purple lines, often in the form of thin branches or spider cobwebs – hence their name. IPL Therapy works brilliantly for not only thread veins, but Rosacea, uneven skin tone, pigmentation and sun damage.
How does IPL treatment work for thread veins?
IPL therapy works by delivering pulses of light energy into the skin. This light is absorbed by the blood in the thread veins, causing the blood to heat up. The heat damages the walls of the veins, causing them to collapse and eventually be reabsorbed by the body.
Most of our clients see a significant improvement on the appearance of the thread veins they have after the first session, with some veins disappearing instantly, others take a few days to get absorbed back into the bloodstream, whereas some of the more stubborn veins will need multiple sessions.

How much does IPL treatment for thread veins cost?
The prices start at only £50 for a small area and for full noses/cheeks/chin then the prices will be around £150 - £175 per session. The cost will be discussed at the consultation as well as a recommended treatment plan. We can normally always get a good improvement of the veins after 1 session and sometimes if they are deeper and more stubborn then they may need 2 or 3 sessions for complete removal.
