Thread Veins & Spider Veins

Thread veins, spider veins and cherry angiomas can be visibly reduced with targeted laser therapy, and leg veins with sclerotherapy.

What causes it

Thread veins — also known as spider veins — are small, dilated blood vessels visible near the skin's surface, often appearing as fine red or purple lines. They're generally harmless but can be a cosmetic concern.

Our vascular laser targets the blood vessel directly, causing it to gradually fade over a course of treatment — an area of particular clinical expertise at The Private Clinic Swansea.

For spider veins and small varicose veins on the legs, sclerotherapy injects a specialist solution that closes the vein so the body can absorb it naturally — quick, minimally invasive, with little downtime.
