Skin Condition

Thread Veins

Also known as ‘spider veins’ or ‘surface veins’, thread veins can develop on both men and women of any age. They are most commonly known to affect the legs, feet and back, as well as on the face when associated with another common concern – Rosacea.

The appearance of thread veins shows small, thin, red or purple strands close to the surface of the skin. They can develop as a singular fiber, or as part of a cluster that forms a network of strands that look similar to that of a spider’s web – hence the name.

About this condition

Around 80% of adults can be affected by thread veins which occur as a result of burst blood vessels in the superficial layer of the skin. Stress or trauma to the skin is one of the most likely causes of this condition, especially experienced by those who find they spend a lot of time on their feet. Ageing and genetics can increase your chance of developing thread veins, as can pregnancy, smoking and weight gain. Thread veins are a concern that is mainly aesthetic, with many people feeling embarrassed by their appearance. However, in some cases where the legs are affected, the perception of possessing an unattractive feature can also be accompanied by aching and a warm / burning sensation.

Treating this concern can often help to improve self-confidence as a clearer tone to the skin can be achieved. At Nassif MedSpa a detailed consultation will take a look at your thread veins; their location and the severity. The possible cause may need to be factored in before an appropriate treatment option and / or plan of treatments can be recommended. Whilst treatments can provide long-term or permanent results, it does not reduce the chance of thread veins appearing in another location in the future.

I love going here, from the moment you enter you are greeted by lovely friendly staff, you even get a beautiful macaroon and lovely coffee or tea! The staff are knowledgeable, empathetic and want the best results for you. Amanda and Dr Jamie looked after me through every PRP treatments I’ve just had my third one! And both are highly, highly professional and so, so lovely and they really know what they are talking about. I couldn’t recommend Dr Nassif Medical Spa enough and I couldn’t recommend Dr Jamie and Amanda enough. I can’t wait for my next treatments ! Thank you so much guys see you in January ! :D

I had the best experience at NassifMD Medspa UK. The spa itself is beautiful and luxurious and in a great location on the Quays. On arrival I was met by Amanda and immediately I felt relaxed and at ease. My consultation with Dr Jamie was a joy ! His knowledge and experience is vast and nothing was too much trouble when faced with my endless questions and concerns. I was given several options of treatments and between us we decided on a course of action …. The results ? Well I’m absolutely thrilled ! I can’t wait for my next appointment.

I have had many services here and the service is not only impeccable the knowledge Amanda gives is fantastic. The Dr’s and nurses at Dr.Nassif’s medical spa are amazing. My hydrafacial was the best one I’ve ever had. I get PRP and profhilo, also the best. I’ve recently just had nucleofill for my under eyes & with what was left over the Dr noticed I had a slight outbreak of spots and administered the nucleofill there. 1 day post treatment my eyes look much better and my spots have started to clear up! The initiative and attention to detail on top of already an amazing treatment is what makes this clinic the best I’ve ever been too. I won’t go anywhere else. Thanks team for being so amazing! I wouldn’t trust my face with anyone else!

I’ve had 2 courses of Halo laser and my experience with Nassif Medical Spa has been amazing. Special thanks to Amanda who really goes the extra mile when caring for her clients. I’ve felt so supported by her throughout the entire experience from initial consultation through to aftercare and I throughly recommend her and this clinic! Amanda provides the compete package including well informed guidance, effective treatments and thoughtful aftercare. Her holistic approach will help you not only get the results you need but also work to then maintain them afterwards. Thanks again to her and the team! A well deserved 5/5 - I can’t fault them!

My 1st visit to this clinic , first impressions - such a beautiful well run , professional atmosphere. Amanda and staff helped put me at my ease and explained everything before my treatment. This included previous clients photos of before and after treatments and a thorough discussion of my needs, which put me at ease. My rosacea is much improved already after treatment and I look forward to my return for follow up and a second treatment.
