Thread veins are tiny, dilated blood vessels near the surface of the skin. They can give the face an older, flushed appearance. They can also be quite difficult to cover up, as they usually present themselves as dark purply or red lines on the face. Over time, and with environmental stress such as sun exposure our blood vessels lose their elasticity, causing them to break.
Shortwave diathermy is a procedure designed to eliminate red veins, thread veins, red spots, spider veins, and rosacea. Thread veins can be caused by aging, hormonal changes, sun damage, pregnancy, lifestyle factors, and even genetics. There are several methods to treat facial thread veins, including laser, IPL, and epilation. However, these techniques can have significant drawbacks, such as the risk of pigmentation and the need for multiple treatments.
Shortwave diathermy harnesses the power of heat energy produced by high-frequency currents, generating a thermal pulse through a process called thermocoagulation. This process seals the thread vein walls, causing them to disappear instantly and permanently. During the treatment, your practitioner will use a fine needle covered with an insulating sheath to protect the skin, ensuring targeted and precise action.
