Thread Vein Removal

Thread Vein Removal is an advanced IPL treatment in Portsmouth designed for clients concerned about visible thread veins, spider veins or persistent facial redness. These small, dilated blood vessels commonly appear on the cheeks, nose and chin due to ageing, rosacea, sun exposure or skin sensitivity, and can make the complexion look flushed or uneven.

Using medical-grade Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology, targeted light energy is delivered into the skin to gently heat and break down visible vessels without damaging the surrounding tissue. Over time, the treated veins are naturally reabsorbed by the body, leaving the skin clearer, calmer and more even in tone.

Performed by experienced Level 4 skin specialists at Skinportant Clinic in Southsea, Portsmouth, this non-invasive treatment forms part of our advanced skin condition treatment pathway. Each session is carefully tailored to your skin type, sensitivity level and vein visibility to ensure safe, gradual and natural-looking results with minimal downtime.

Frequently asked questions

How many treatments will I need to remove thread veins?
Most clients require a short course of treatments spaced several weeks apart for optimal results. The exact number depends on the size, depth and number of visible veins, which will be assessed during your consultation.
Is IPL vein removal painful or does it involve downtime?
The treatment is generally well tolerated, with most clients describing a brief warm snapping sensation. There is minimal downtime, and you can usually return to normal activities the same day, although mild redness may occur temporarily.
Will the veins disappear permanently?
Treated veins are usually significantly reduced or no longer visible once successfully cleared. However, new veins can develop over time due to ageing, sun exposure or rosacea, so maintenance treatments may be recommended to keep the complexion clear.

I had small thread veins around my nose that really bothered me. The treatment was quick and almost painless. Within a couple of weeks, they had faded so much – I feel much more confident without makeup now.

I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the spider veins on my cheeks have almost disappeared after one session. It’s subtle but makes a big difference. So happy I finally did this

I struggled with small red veins for years, especially in photos. After the treatment, they faded quickly and now my skin tone looks so much more even. Worth every penny.

I had a cluster of spider veins near my chin. The procedure was much quicker than I expected, and now they’ve almost vanished. I wish I had done it sooner.

I’m amazed at the difference after just one treatment. The thread veins on my cheeks used to be so noticeable, but now my skin looks clear and smooth.
