Thread Veins Removal
Visible red, blue, or purple thread veins, known as spider veins, can appear due to aging, sun damage, or genetics. Fenix’s Advanced Vein Removal Therapy offers a safe, non-invasive solution to fade these marks, restoring skin clarity without downtime.
Our Vasculase Laser Technology targets vascular lesions. Laser energy collapses blood vessels, sealing them without harming tissue. Your lymphatic system reabsorbs the inactive vein, leading to clear skin.

How it works
How Vasculase Laser & Microsclerotherapy Work
Our non-surgical vein therapies use precise physics and biochemistry to target broken capillaries and spider veins safely.
The Vascular Closure Process:
-
Targeted Light Absorption: The Vasculase Laser wavelength is selectively absorbed by hemoglobin (the red pigment in blood) inside the target vein.
-
Thermal Coagulation: Light energy transforms into gentle heat, causing the blood inside the thread vein to coagulate and the vessel walls to collapse.
-
Microsclerotherapy Option: For larger leg spider veins, a specialized micro-injection irritates the inner vein lining, causing the walls to stick together and seal the vessel.
-
Natural Reabsorption: Once closed, blood flow is automatically rerouted through deeper, healthy veins while your tissue naturally breaks down and clears the inactive vessel.
Areas Treated
Key Target Concerns & Treatment Areas
Leg Spider Veins
Clears red and blue spider vein networks across thighs, knees, and ankles.
Cherry Angiomas, Blood Spots
Removes raised or flat bright red vascular spots on the face or body.
Rosacea Redness
Softens diffuse facial flushing and localized capillary clusters.
The Process
Your Treatment Journey Expectations
-
Vascular Consultation & Mapping
Our practitioner evaluates your skin type, assesses vessel size and depth, and confirms that the veins are suitable for laser or microsclerotherapy treatment.
-
Skin Preparation & Sanitization
The target treatment area is cleansed, and protective eye shields are fitted for laser application.
-
Targeted Energy / Solution Delivery
The Vasculase handpiece is systematically pressed over the thread veins, delivering quick pulses of energy (or precise micro-injections for leg veins).
-
Cooling & Post-Care
A soothing post-treatment gel is applied to calm heat and protect the skin barrier immediately after the session.

Candidacy
Suitability & Medical Considerations
You are likely an ideal candidate if you:
-
Individuals seeking non-invasive removal of spider veins, facial broken capillaries, or red spots.
-
Clients looking for an alternative to invasive surgical vein stripping for superficial thread veins.
-
All fit skin types requiring safe, effective vascular clearing.
Who Should Avoid Treatment:
-
Individuals with severe, deep structural varicose veins (which require vascular surgery or endothermal ablation).
-
Women who are pregnant or currently breastfeeding.
-
Clients on light-sensitizing medications or those with active sunburns in the treatment zone.
Aftercare
Recovery & Essential Aftercare Guidelines
To maximize your results and maintain a smooth recovery:
Protect Skin from UV Light
Apply broad-spectrum SPF 50 daily to prevent post-inflammatory pigment changes.
Avoid Extreme Heat for 48 Hours
Skip saunas, steam rooms, hot showers, and heavy workouts.
Wear Compression Gear
After leg-vein microsclerotherapy, wear the compression your practitioner advises.
Avoid Harsh Chemical Skincare
Pause active retinoids, exfoliants, and AHAs on treated facial areas for 3–5 days.
Side Effects
Potential Side Effects & Safety Considerations
Vasculase Laser and Microsclerotherapy treatments are clinically safe when performed by trained practitioners. Common temporary responses include:
-
Mild localized redness or slight swelling around treated veins that subsides within hours.
-
Temporary darkening or slight bruising along the vein path before it fades away.
-
Minor surface cat-scratch-like crusting over treated facial capillaries that sheds naturally in 3–5 days.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Thread Veins Removal
Between 30 and 45 minutes, and sessions run from 15 minutes upwards depending on how much area is being treated.
The handpiece delivers quick pulses over the vein, and a soothing gel is applied afterwards to calm the heat. Protective eye shields are fitted before any laser is used on the face.
The vein path can darken or bruise slightly before it fades. Once the vessel is closed, your tissue breaks it down and clears it, and blood reroutes through deeper healthy veins.
Once a treated vein collapses and is reabsorbed, it does not reappear. New thread veins can still form over time from sun exposure or genetics.
Your practitioner sequences it with anything else you are having at the consultation, so treated skin is not worked on twice while it is still settling.
Mild redness or slight swelling that subsides within hours, temporary darkening or bruising along the vein path, and minor cat-scratch-like crusting over treated facial capillaries that sheds in 3 to 5 days.
Facial thread veins are treated with the Vasculase laser, so nothing is injected. Larger leg spider veins can be treated with microsclerotherapy instead, which is a micro-injection that seals the vessel.
Keep the area clean and protected, apply broad-spectrum SPF 50 daily, and pause retinoids, exfoliants and AHAs on treated facial skin for 3 to 5 days.
Tell your practitioner if you take any light-sensitizing medication, and do not come with active sunburn in the treatment zone — both rule the session out on the day.
It suits all skin types. What decides suitability is the vein itself: your practitioner assesses vessel size and depth, and deep structural varicose veins need vascular surgery rather than this treatment.
