Thread veins or varicose veins are tiny dilated blood vessels that exist near the surface of the skin, making them visible and prominent. This can cause many people who have these to become self-conscious, ruining their confidence. Here at The Laser Treatment Clinic, we understand that skin imperfections can cause self-esteem issues, which is why we offer a range of safe and effective treatments to help you feel more confident in your skin.
When it comes to thread veins, we understand why you may want these dilated blood vessels to disappear from your skin. If you’re reading this and currently wondering how you can prevent thread veins, you’re in the right place. In this blog post we will be delving into how you can potentially prevent thread veins from developing.
However, it’s important to bear in mind that thread veins can sometimes be a natural part of ageing, and some people have a genetic predisposition for them too.
Preventing thread veins
There are some ways that you could potentially help prevent thread veins from developing. Below are some of the ways you can do this
Exercise regularly
Regular exercise ensures your body is moving and your blood is pumping. This improves your blood circulation, which helps keep blood vessels healthy and less likely to become damaged.
Avoid inactivity
Long periods of inactivity such as standing or sitting, can contribute to the development of thread veins. This is why it’s important to keep moving and avoid staying still for too long where possible.
Elevate your legs
Elevating your legs when you can is another way to improve blood flow and prevent the development of varicose veins. By lifting your legs, you’re allowing the blood to flow more, rather than pooling in your leg veins.
Thread vein removal treatment options
Here at The Laser Treatment Clinic, we have a variety of ways that we can help with the removal of thread veins. Our range of non-invasive laser treatments are designed to boost your confidence by gently removing or reducing the appearance of your unwanted thread veins.
One of the ways we do this is through IPL (intense pulsed light) therapy. IPL simply involves sending light lasers into your target area, which can heat up and destroy the blood vessels that are causing your thread veins to appear. By eliminating them, we can reduce their appearance and eventually they will fade.
