Spider veins, thread veins and varicose veins are extremely common — and for many people, a genuine source of self-consciousness, whether they appear on the face, legs or body. The good news is that both facial and leg vein concerns respond very well to the right treatment.
At Apsaras Aesthetic Clinic in Coventry, we offer two clinically proven treatments — Veinwave and sclerotherapy — which can be used individually or in combination depending on where your veins are located and what type they are. All assessments and treatments are carried out by Dr Thevendra, an experienced aesthetic doctor who will assess your veins properly and recommend the most effective approach.
Sclerotherapy effectively targets varicose and spider veins through the injection of sclerosant solution via an ultra-fine needle directly into the blood vessel.
With no downtime or surgery, this advanced treatment is well established and renowned for long-lasting results.
The sclerosant solution injected into the blood vessels causes the lining to swell and stick together. Over the following weeks, veins will fade and disappear. Some may need several treatment sessions.
We treat varicose veins first, as thread or spider veins connected to them may disappear over a few weeks without treatment. Treatment sessions are spaced accordingly to keep the treatment needed to a minimum.
If you have rosacea, Veinwave can reduce visible veins, but it doesn’t treat the underlying condition. We’ll talk through skincare that can help at your consultation. Read more about rosacea and facial thread veins.
Small areas of facial veins often clear in one session. Larger areas, or more widespread veins, may need 2 or 3 sessions, about 4 weeks apart.
Veins that have been treated don’t return. New thread veins can still form over time, especially if you’re prone to them, so some people have an occasional top-up session.
We believe that taking time before deciding whether Veinwave and / or sclerotherapy is the right treatment for you is the most important part of your journey with us. Your free 30-minute consultation will include a comprehensive assessment and give you the opportunity to ask questions and find out more in a relaxed setting.
Veinwave and sclerotherapy treatments are tailored to your unique needs (as are all of our treatments). We’ll explain all of the options during your free consultation and will recommend the best course of treatment for you.
Yes – Veinwave can effectively treat rosacea (long-term redness across the nose, cheeks, forehead and chin) and facial thread veins. It can also be used to target blood spots (also known as purpura).
This depends on the veins being treated – we’ll advise in full during your free consultation.
There’s no downtime with either treatment. Some clients experience mild redness and bruising where injections have been made.
Sclerotherapy does carry a risk of permanent skin staining – although most staining is temporary.
Both Veinwave and sclerotherapy are pain-free. Needles used are extremely fine and most clients can only feel a mild tingling or pin-prick sensation.
