THREAD VEINS: Rather than the commonly termed ‘broken capillaries’, these are really dilated capillaries. With very thin walls, capillaries constantly dilate and constrict and as we age, these vessels lose their elasticity and can become permanently dilated. Apart from ageing, other causes are hereditary, pregnancy, hormonal changes, energetic exercise, extreme temperatures and skin fragility.

The therapist guides the visible light from the hand held piece to the blood vessels needing treatment. Haemoglobin in the blood absorbs the light, converting it into heat which destroys the protein in the wall of the thread vein. As a result, the veins will gradually and safely disappear after treatment.
