Prominent veins can be a nightmare. You may think now that summer is over, the pressure to combat unwanted veins has subsided, but this is not the case for many. Feeling self-conscious about your unflattering veins is not an issue that is reserved for the warmer seasons, and can in fact get you down at any time of year. So what help is out there? We sat down with cosmetic doctor Dr. Thevendra to find out more about what APSARAS Clinic can offer to fight your unsightly veins.

Veinwave

Thread veins and rosacea are two of the most common vein conditions that patients seek cosmetic treatment for. To combat these issues, APSARAS Clinic offers Veinwave treatment.

Veinwave is a non-surgical treatment that aims to improve the appearance of numerous vein conditions, including thread veins and rosacea. The treatment uses high-frequency microwaves and a fine insulated needle to heat the unwanted veins. This creates a thermal lesion that destroys the blood vessel, resulting in a faded appearance to the treated veins.

“The great thing about Veinwave treatment is that it can give patients the results they want without causing further bruising or scarring to the area of treatment. This is a huge benefit for many patients as it means they can gain the results they want without causing further damage to their skin,” explained Dr. Thevendra.

“In addition to this, Veinwave also gives the practitioner a more precise way to target the unwanted veins. Thanks the treatment’s application through an ultra-fine needle, patients can combat their prominent veins in an accurate and effective way..”

“Veinwave also comes with a convenient treatment time of just 30 minutes and minimal recovery time. Patients can return to work or their daily schedule in just 15 minutes after following treatment, meaning that Veinwave is the perfect lunchtime fix for patients looking to tackle their prominent veins.”

Sclerotherapy treatment

Dealing with prominent vein conditions (such as varicose veins) can be more difficult to fight, but sclerotherapy could be an effective solution.

Sclerotherapy is a non-surgical treatment that aims to improve the look and feel of unflattering veins by closing the vessel, resulting in a faded appearance. The treatment achieves this by injecting a solution called sclerosant into the veins through a fine needle. This substance causes the veins to swell and the vessel walls to stick together, resulting in the closure of the veins and a gradual fading in appearance.
Following treatment, patients may be required to wear compression stockings in order to help with the closure of the treated veins. The result of sclerotherapy can usually be seen within 6-8 weeks.

“One thing that makes sclerotherapy great is that it gives patients a convenient solution to their prominent veins. The treatment can be performed in as little as 30 minutes and requires hardly any recovery time, meaning that patients can gain the results they want in a time frame that fits their lifestyle,” said Dr. Thevendra.

“Sclerotherapy can also provide patients with long term results. This is a huge positive for many patients as it means they can gain the results that they want and rebuild their confidence, safe in the knowledge that their varicose veins will not reappear,” he added.

Seeking treatment

If you are seeking cosmetic treatment to banish your unwanted veins it is important that you conduct extensive research before undergoing treatment. This means not only being educated in the benefits and risks of the treatment, but also understanding which cosmetic professional should perform your treatment. Failure to find the right practitioner could result in substandard results, or even heightened risk to your health.

A great way to learn more about your treatment and gain the information you will need to make an informed decision is to book a consultation with a cosmetic professional. This will give you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have and gain firsthand experience of the practitioner’s working style.These factors can play huge roles in your decision-making process and reassure you that you’re making the right decision for you.
