Thread Vein Removal in Northampton
Thread veins, also known as spider veins, are a common skin condition, affecting at least 80% of the population in their lifetime. This is a non-benign condition mostly associated with signs of ageing or an underlying vein condition. These small veins typically appear on the face or legs, and can cause mild itchiness or affect your confidence due to their appearance.
If you’re considering thread vein removal treatment in Northampton, our team at The Blemish Clinic can help using advanced electrolysis.

What are Thread Veins?
Thread veins are damaged blood vessels that are visible just beneath the skin’s surface. They are usually red, blue or purple in colour and have a spider-like or a branch-like appearance. This is where they get their name—spider veins. This condition is more common in women over 50.
​
Spider veins and varicose veins are often confused as the same thing, but they are not the same. Spider veins, also known as thread veins, affect the tiny capillaries close to the skin’s surface. While they can be unsightly, they are generally harmless. Varicose veins, on the other hand, affect larger veins and often cause pain, swelling and discomfort.

What Causes Thread Veins?
Spider veins occur when the tiny capillaries beneath your skin weaken and lose their elasticity. While the condition is generally asymptomatic, some people may experience slight itching, burning or pain.
There is no exact known cause behind this condition, however, the following can increase their risk:
-
Hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy, after menopause, and when taking hormone pills
-
Hereditary causes
-
Injury or trauma
-
Obesity
-
Overexposure to sunlight
-
Smoking or vaping
In some cases, standing for a long time can also cause thread veins to appear on your legs. But as they are not serious, their treatment is usually done for cosmetic reasons.
I had skin tags on my neck and underarms treated over 2 sessions. The results were amazing and I was so pleased with the overall experience. Really professional and friendly. Thank you!

I was so pleased Charlotte could remove a mole I’d had (and hated) my whole life. It was a simple straight forward procedure and I was really happy with results. I would highly recommend Charlotte.

Charlotte removed a blood spot from my nose, it was causing me to not have confidence and kept bleeding, Charlotte was amazing and professional and explained everything including aftercare.

How Do We Treat Thread Veins at The Blemish Clinic?
Are thread veins robbing you of confidence? To regain a youthful and radiant appearance, you may be seeking thread vein treatment.
​
While DIY methods are convenient, they often fall short. These surface-level solutions fail to target the root cause—the capillaries—and can even irritate the skin further. So, for safe thread vein removal, it’s best to talk to a skin professional.
​
Advanced electrolysis is a highly effective treatment for thread veins, with sessions taking roughly 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the extent of the area being treated. Usually, one session is enough to address particularly visible thread veins but for some people, follow-ups might be needed.
​
During the procedure, our skin specialists will pass a low-grade thermolysis current through a tiny probe on the affected area. You might experience a slight tingling or warm sensation - this is normal and will subside. Over the next few weeks, the area may be sensitive, but you’ll notice the thread veins starting to dim.

Tips for Before & Aftercare
Our care doesn't end when you leave our clinic after your blemish treatment. We are here to support you and will continue to answer your questions to make sure your recovery period is smooth.
Before Your Thread Vein Removal Appointment
Advanced electrolysis is a safe, long-lasting and relatively pain-free process. In the run up to your appointment, it’s best to avoid cosmetic procedures and applying chemical products. This can reduce the effectiveness of the procedure and also increase sensitivity.
Verruca Treatment Aftercare
It usually takes a few weeks to see results and some people might require follow-up treatments. Aftercare tips will be shared during your appointment, but we recommend refraining from washing your treated area with hot water as this may cause aggravation.
