Veinwave

Veinwave is typically used to treat small damaged veins that appear as thin lines or webs close to the surface of your skin.

Veinwave for spider veins and thread veins

If you suffer from unsightly spider veins or thread veins, you may be able to benefit from Veinwave treatment. Spider veins and thread veins can appear on your face, legs, and other areas, and may cause you to feel self-conscious or embarrassed. These veins are generally harmless, but if you're concerned about their appearance, Veinwave treatment can help.

Veinwave treatment for rosacea

Rosacea is a skin condition that mainly affects the face, causing long-term redness and broken veins. Veinwave is safe to use on the face and, in certain cases, can be used to reduce the redness associated with Rosacea.

If you're considering Veinwave treatment, your initial consultation is an important first step. At Circle Health Group, we'll start by taking a detailed medical history. We'll want to know when they started, how they've progressed over time, and what, if anything, seems to make them better or worse. We may also ask you about your medical history, including any medications you're taking and any underlying health conditions you may have.

Your consultant will then perform a short physical examination, assessing your veins to determine if you're a suitable candidate for the treatment. We may need to take some scans or tests to help us make a diagnosis.

Your first consultation is an opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have about Veinwave treatment. We encourage you to be an active participant in your healthcare and to ask us anything that's on your mind. Our goal is to help you feel informed and empowered as you move forward with your treatment plan.

Ultimately, the information we gather during your initial consultation helps us determine the best course of action for your ongoing vascular treatment. We'll work with you every step of the way to make sure you feel comfortable, confident, and well-informed about your treatment options.

Veinwave treatment typically takes between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on the size and number of veins being treated.

No anaesthetic is needed as the procedure is typically pain-free and any discomfort is usually minimal.

During the procedure, a small probe is used to deliver heat energy to the affected veins, causing them to collapse and eventually fade from view. A cooling system is used to protect the skin during the procedure.

There is no recovery time required after Veinwave. You may experience some redness, swelling, or bruising in the treated area, but this should subside within a few days. You should be able to resume normal activities immediately following the procedure.

If you have any further questions about Veinwave treatment or would like to schedule a consultation with one of our specialists, please don't hesitate to contact us.

As with any medical treatment, the benefits and risks will be weighed to determine if Veinwave treatment is the right option for you.

We answer some of your most commonly asked questions about Veinwave.

Does Veinwave work?

Veinwave is a highly effective and minimally invasive treatment for spider veins and small varicose veins. It uses a special device that delivers heat to the affected vein, causing it to collapse and be reabsorbed by the body. Veinwave treatment has been proven to be effective in the vast majority of patients, with many experiencing significant improvement after just one session. However, as with any medical treatment, results may vary depending on the severity of the condition and the patient's individual circumstances.
