Hello Interloper!

This treatment utilises the principle of "Thermocoagulation" which is based on a high frequency wave - a microwave - heating up the thread vein without affecting the outer layers of the skin.
The machine selectively heats the thread vein, destroying it and allowing the body to reasbsorb it over a period of time.
Thermocoagulation can be used to treat spider veins, thread veins, (medically known as telangiectasia) including those on the nose, facial redness, blemishes, skin tags, spider naevi, and depending on the experience of the practitioner other skin lesions can be treated with this technology.
It is not to be confused with electrolysis, which is commonly used for hair removal. Some experienced electrologists do treat thread veins using electrolysis (the use of an electric current), but they need to be highly skilled as it can be painful and there is more potential for problems.
