Hello Interloper!

Microsclerotherapy is still a widely used treatment and is considered by many clinicians as the treatment of choice for leg thread veins.
Newer alternatives such as Lasers and IPL and microwave machines, such as the Veinwave are, however, starting to become more popular.
Thermavein, powered by Veinwave technology is particularly useful for the smaller thread veins (less than 0.3mm in diameter) that are difficult to inject using microsclerotherapy.
Lasers and IPL are more suited to the treatment of larger areas affected by an extensive number of thread veins.
The Thermavein machine has also been trialled to evaluate it's effectiveness and safety as a treatment for other conditions including rosacea.
