Veinwave

Veinwave

Veinwave Treatment uses microwave technology to destroy thread veins. It is far more successful in the treatment of thread veins than laser therapy and is also virtually painless. It is non-invasive and may achieve instant results. Broken veins on face spider veins, cherry angioma removal, and thread veins; are just a few of the many vascular conditions that patients come to the Clinic seeking treatment for. One of the treatments available to you at The Skin to Love Clinic is Veinwave which uses a technique known as thermo-coagulation.

Veinwave is an aesthetic procedure where a targeted area of the body is exposed to microwaves. The heat the microwave generates to the target area destroys the vein, allowing the vein to be reabsorbed by the body over time. As the treatment is confined to a small, affected area, it does not unnecessarily damage any non-affected tissue.

Veinwave Treatment

This widely-used technique was developed by leading vascular surgeons; the treatment uses an ultra-fine insulated needle to heat the unwanted vessels in the skin. This then destroys the vein and your body gradually breaks it down and removes it. This technique protects the skin and surrounding tissue whilst allowing your practitioner to accurately apply the treatment to the targeted vessels.

Effective on both the face and the body, this treatment was designed to accompany sclerotherapy to treat smaller veins which sclerotherapy cannot. Veinwave is ideal for treating spider veins, symptoms of rosacea, angioma, telangiectasia and thread veins.

Indications that Veinwave may be right for you:

  • You have rosacea and are noticing symptoms such as facial broken veins.
  • You have unwanted veins on your face.
  • You have unwanted, superficial broken veins on your legs and have had any deeper veins treated previously.
  • You have other vein-related concerns such as blood spots (also known as cherry angiomas).

How does my body remove the treated vein after the Veinwave treatment?

Our bodies have scavenger cells called macrophages which breakdown and ingest the treated vessels to safely remove them from your body.

I have background redness and broken facial veins from Rosacea, will Veinwave treat all these symptoms?

In our experience, Veinwave is best to treat individual vessels/veins. There are alternative treatments which can help to reduce general background redness.

I have leg veins; can you treat these with Veinwave?

We can treat the small, broken red veins on your legs. Veinwave is not suitable to treat large, deep (often blue) veins. We strongly suggest that your first action is to have a doppler scan to see if you have any large, deep veins which are ‘feeding’ the smaller veins you can see on the surface of your skin as you sometimes cannot see deep veins; especially if you have a family history of varicose veins. If your scan shows you have varicose veins, you will need to have these treated first otherwise they are likely to continue pumping blood to the small surface vessels.

Treatment Summary

No. of treatments
Dependent on your concern. More than one session may be needed. Some conditions or concerns may require maintenance treatments

Procedure time
Dependent on the size of your treatment area and/or number of lesions you’re having treated. The average session ranges from 10 to 30 minutes. In most cases, we recommend using an anaesthetic cream on the skin for 30 to 60 minutes prior to treatment, which would be applied in-clinic by one of our practitioners to ensure your comfort. It’s worth noting that if a large area requires treatment the patient may require more than one session to cover the entire area

Final results
Dependent on your concerns and how quickly your body removes the treated vein. We would usually review you after a month and, with most patients, expect to see some improvement at this time

Recovery time
Redness and/or mild swelling may be seen in the treatment area post procedure. Micro-scabbing may develop in the treatment site and, in general, can last several days. This is not uncommon and is managed well by patients with the use of a tinted moisturiser

Resume usual activities
We usually recommend avoiding extreme temperatures, such as saunas, and being direct sun light, such as being on a hot holiday, immediately post treatment. We’d also advise avoiding exercise for a few days post facial treatment and up to one week if your legs have been treated; full aftercare will be provided prior to treatment

Discomfort level
Mild with the use of local anaesthetic cream. Patients liken the sensation to warm pin-pricks

Duration of results
Dependant on concern being treated, however many patients report improvement for years post treatment. As the concerns treated by the Veinwave are usually connected to your circulatory system more than one session may be needed due to the continuous pumping of your blood and some conditions or concerns may require maintenance treatments

Consultation needed prior
Yes

We are all individuals therefore results from treatments may vary from person to person, because each person responds differently. Results achieved from the Veinwave treatment will last a different amount of time from person to person, this may even vary between treatments for an individual. Results, down time and recovery following treatment will vary from patient to patient. The information we provide is based on the extensive experience we have gained from treating a wide variety of patients of different ages, genders and is based on an average patient experience.

Forget Harley Street - The Skin To Love is the place to go!!My son who suffered from Acne hated his skin so much he wouldn't leave the house, his confidence hit rock bottom and was at a loss with his skin. We tried everything from expensive products to going into London to see dermatologists. One day he told me he'd seen the Skin To Love in St Albans and suggested we go in for a consultation.This was a few months ago and since then I am lost for words on how absolutely incredible Jane and her experienced team have been. Not only has my Son's skin been transformed but they have helped him rebuild his confidence. Nothing is too much trouble at the Skin To Love. The service is 5* and is 100x better than any central London clinic. The team take great care in explaining procedures and products and give great advice if you are ever unsure about anything. You are never forced to buy anything - again unlike most of these London clinics who push their products. I have recommended this wonderful clinic to all my friends and family and can only thank you for helping my Son feel like himself again! Special thanks to the following ANGELS - Jane, Su & Stella and the wonderful reception team who are outstanding in the welcome they give you!
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for your 5 star review of us Sheila. We are grateful you have taken the time to write this review and we are so pleased you and your son feel happy with both the treatment and care we have given you. Your feedback is very important to us so thank you for sharing. Thanks too for all your kind comments which we will pass on to the team. We look forward to seeing you both soon again.

Fabulous knowledgeable practitioners in a calm environment
Lovely clinic. Absolutely loved the experience. I booked last minute for a hydra facial as I am going to a wedding this weekend.

Loved it and will be recommending and coming back!

I can’t fault Nurse Jane and will not hesitate to return or recommend this clinic.

Jane was my consultant. She has a wealth of knowledge, gave a thorough explanation of my skin condition. I am overjoyed with their service.
Fantastic service from Jane and her team.They are very professional, knowledgeable and skilled.I cannot recommend them enough.
Amazing service. The nurse, Emma, was professional and had a very warm and engaging manner. I was having a skin tag removed, every step was clearly explained and I felt comfortable throughout, I was called the next day, Sunday, to check everything was OK - it was. I would not hesitate to recommend.
Emma is a dermatologist at the top of her field. She performed the treatment and expertly removed the lesion from my leg. The histology report came in 10 days and Emma fully explained the results and outcomes in a calm and reassuring manner. Her expertise and knowledge is second to none and I would highly recommend her. It was such a relief to be able to see a dermatology specialist and to receive treatment straight away.

It's always a pleasure coming back for another Hydrafacial with Nikky. I appreciate the extra touch of being greeted by name even before checking in—it makes me feel very special as a customer. The Hydrafacials have truly improved my skin, making it smoother and healthier. The real results started to show after 3-4 sessions. I'll be back, as always, for more sessions. Thank you!
