What Skin Conditions Can Be Treated?

We treat a number of vascular skin conditions such as:

Thread Veins or Telangiectasia

These are permanently dilated capillaries. They have very thin walls which constantly dilate and constrict. As we age, these vessels loose their elasticity and can become permanently dilated. There are numerous causes including sun-damage, hereditary, ageing, pregnancy, physical trauma (e.g injury to the skin), exposure to harsh weather, hormonal changes and fragile skin.

Blood Spots

Also known as Campbell De Morgan or Cherry Angiomas, these are bright red, superficial and circular vascular blemishes. These are often dome shaped or slightly raised and found mainly on the trunk of the body but also on the face and limbs. Most people aged over 30 have at least one and they are often more common in men than women.

Spider Naevus

A spider naevus consists of a central dilated blood vessel, with smaller capillaries radiating from it like legs of a spider. They can be found in isolation or gathered together in clumps on areas such as the cheeks.

What Is The Healing Time?

Following your treatment you can expect some pin dot crusts where the skin is treated, these are tiny and often are “felt” rather than “seen”. The crusts must be left to fall off naturally. The skin can take up to 3 weeks to fully heal. Please scroll down to our Frequently Asked Questions section below, to read our full aftercare advice.

Does Facial Thread Vein Removal Hurt?

Our client’s do not describe the treatment as being painful. You can expect to feel a heat sensation in a similar way to a pin prick.

How Do We Treat Thread Veins?

At Shumaila’s, we employ advanced electrolysis techniques to safely and effectively address skin blemishes, including facial thread veins. Using a probe as fine as an eyelash, high-frequency energy is precisely delivered along the capillary’s path. This process effectively dries up and eliminates the vessel, often leading to its gradual disappearance during treatment. Notably, this technique traces its roots back to the early 1900s, initially used by doctors for broken capillaries, warts, and xanthelasma. Over time, this method has evolved dramatically with modern technology, becoming a sought-after treatment due to its safety, comfort, and remarkable effectiveness, as valued by our clients.

How Many Sessions Will You Require?

These treatments often offer instantaneous results however the length of the treatment depends on your specific skin condition and how large an area is to be treated. Your electrologist at Shumaila’s will advise you during your consultation, however the area of concern must not be over-treated and your skin reactivity will be taken into account. Multiple treatments may be required dependent on skin healing, usually every 3 weeks if skin heals well.

Will Your Thread Veins Return?

The treated thread veins should not return however others may occur depending on the root cause. There are many possible causes of telangiectasia, and for the treatment to be effective and to maintain results the cause must be identified to prevent further thread veins.
