How does laser thread vein treatment work?
The laser thread vein treatment at Skin Cosmetics London works by utilizing advanced laser technology to target and eliminate thread veins. During the procedure, our skilled clinicians will direct a focused beam of laser light onto the affected area of the skin. The laser emits a specific wavelength of light that is absorbed by the hemoglobin in the blood vessels, causing them to heat up and coagulate.
As the laser energy is absorbed, it selectively damages the walls of the thread veins while leaving the surrounding healthy skin unharmed. Over time, the coagulated blood within the damaged veins is naturally reabsorbed by the body, and the veins themselves gradually fade away.
The treatment is designed to be non-invasive and virtually painless. Most individuals experience minimal discomfort, often likened to a slight tingling sensation or a rubber band snapping against the skin. Depending on the extent of the thread veins and your individual needs, multiple treatment sessions may be recommended to achieve the best results.
Our team of experienced professionals at Skin Cosmetics London will assess your skin condition, discuss your treatment goals, and tailor the procedure to your specific needs. Rest assured that our laser thread vein treatment is both safe and effective, allowing you to regain your confidence and enjoy smoother, vein-free skin.
Is laser thread vein treatment safe?
Yes, laser thread vein treatment is considered a safe procedure when performed by trained professionals using appropriate equipment. At Skin Cosmetics London, we prioritize your safety and well-being. Our clinicians are highly skilled and experienced in administering laser treatments, ensuring that you receive the highest standard of care.
The laser technology used for thread vein treatment is designed to target and treat specific blood vessels while minimizing damage to the surrounding skin. The wavelength of light emitted by the laser is carefully selected to be absorbed by the hemoglobin in the veins, effectively coagulating them without causing harm to the surrounding tissues.
While the treatment itself may cause some mild discomfort, such as a slight tingling sensation or a sensation similar to a rubber band snap, any potential side effects are typically minimal and temporary. These can include redness, slight swelling, or mild bruising, which usually subside within a few days.
It is important to undergo a thorough consultation prior to the treatment to ensure that you are a suitable candidate and to address any concerns or potential risks. Our team will assess your medical history, skin condition, and treatment goals to ensure the procedure is safe and appropriate for you.
By choosing Skin Cosmetics London, you can have confidence in receiving a safe and effective laser thread vein treatment, allowing you to achieve the clear, vein-free skin you desire.

STEPS
Treatment Step by Step
Detox
This step is going to increase lymphatic circulation in your skin. Better lymphatic circulation not only helps move out toxins but also increases blood flow, providing extra oxygen to invigorate the skin. The skin is hydrated and supported by fresh lymph, restoring tone and firmness.
Cleansing and Exfoliation
A vacuum-based abrasion tip will gently smooth away dead skin cells while delivering serum directly to the fresh new skin beneath. This serum is brimming with ingredients to revitalise and support your skin, such as lactic acid, glucosamine, antioxidants, and botanical extracts, all of which are customised to treat your skin’s needs.
Brightening Agent
Now that pore-blocking old skin cells have been swept away, a glycolic and salicylic solution is applied to gently break up congestion in the pores. This will brighten your skin and at the same time prep the pores for the next step.
Extraction
Unlike many facials, the extraction process is very gentle. Salicylic acid and honey are used to draw out blackheads and other impurities. This is an important step to ensure your pores are clean and able to benefit from the tightening effects of the treatment.
Hydration
Now that your pores are clear and dead skin cells have been removed, your fresh new skin is ready to be treated. This step nourishes your skin and drenches it in moisture, with a mix of potent antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, and peptides and multi-peptides to support collagen.
This step will leave your skin soft and plump with moisture, combating the appearance of wrinkles.
Rejuvenation
Finally, red and infrared LED light is applied. This will soothe your skin, reducing redness, and stimulate the production of collagen. It even helps your skin naturally produce vitamin D. You will be left with skin that feels soft, smooth, and invigorated.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is hydrafacial?
HydraFacial is a multi-step treatment that uses patented technology to cleanse, exfoliate, extract and treat the skin. During the treatment dead skin cells and impurities are removed and the skin is hydrated with antioxidants & peptides. Unlike other treatments, HydraFacial can be had as often as weekly or monthly to achieve a fast and long lasting result.
What steps are involved in hydrafacial treatment?
- DETOX: The first step performed is a lymphatic drainage, whereby the circulation of the lymphatic system is increased, therefore improving blood flow to the skin, as well as the elimination of toxins.
- CLEANSING & EXFOLIATION: Dead skin cells (as well as other impurities) are gently exfoliated to reveal healthy, new skin. This is followed by the application of a serum containing salicylic acid.
- EXTRACTION: water-assisted suction removes blackheads as well as impurities found in the skin. This is assisted by a specially formulated serum.
- HYDRATION: A hydrating mixture replenishes and hydrates the treated skin.
- REJUVENATION: LED light will help to stimulate collagen (increasing skin fullness and firmness). It will also reduce redness and stimulate vitamin D production for a healthy, summery glow.
How does hydrafacial work?
HydraFacial treatment works by targeting the lymphatic system of the patient. This is because our lymphatic system regulates fluid levels and gets rid of toxins from the surrounding environment.
The fluid inside this lympathic system is called lymph, and it can become contaminated and impure over time, causing our skin to look and feel worse. HydraFacials extract unwanted waste from the lymph, draw essential moisture to the surface of the skin, and replace any toxins with healthy ingredients.
Why should i use hydrafacial?
A free, no-obligation consultation is given where we check your suitability for the procedure and assess your requirements so that we can provide a solution for you.
This includes a skin assessment. We then discuss realistic results and any other relevant information
Who is suitable for hydrafacial?
Generally speaking, Hydrafacial is suitable for all age groups and skin types. A form will be filled out at your consultation to rule out any conditions that may make you unsuitable.
What results can i expect to see?
In several published studies conducted by leading U.S. plastic surgeon Bruce M. Freedman, MD, FACS, author of over 40 publications in medical journals and textbooks, the HydraFacial hydradermabrasion technology was clinically proven to be effective for facial rejuvenation. In particular, Dr. Freedman studied polyphenolic antioxidant levels within the skin and how hydra-dermabrasion compares to other skin rejuvenation procedures.
How long will the results last?
As HydraFacials help to replenish the skin, we would recommend a course of monthly maintenance treatments to keep skin in tip-top condition
