Spider and thread vein removal
Safely and effectively eliminate unwanted facial and leg veins with targeted treatments performed by a medically trained professional in Hertford.
About This Treatment
Sclerotherapy
The gold-standard method for treating spider veins on the legs, where a sclerosant solution is injected into the thread vein to collapse and safely destroy its inner lining.
Over time, the vein fades as the body naturally absorbs it.
Diathermy
Used for thread veins on the face, this treatment targets the vein with a precise high-frequency electrical currents to generate heat, which selectively targets and coagulates the small blood vessels, without damaging surrounding skin.
Both treatments are carried out in my licensed Hertford clinic, with a focus on safety, comfort and achieving clear, natural-looking results.
Spider and thread veins are extremely common and can appear on the legs, face, and body.
I offer two effective, clinically proven treatments:
Treatment Types
Sclerotherapy (Leg Veins)

Pinpoint heat causes the vein to collapse instantly
Quick treatment with minimal downtime
Targets visible veins without affecting surrounding skin
My approach
With over 30 years of medical experience, I I approach vein treatments with precision, clinical care, and a strong understanding of vascular anatomy.
Before any treatment, I assess your veins carefully to determine whether sclerotherapy or diathermy will give you the best result.
All appointments are performed by me personally, in a calm, private environment where safety and comfort come first.
What to expect
-
We assess the veins, determine the most appropriate treatment and discuss expected results.
-
For Sclerotherapy: A sclerosant is injected directly into the spider veins.
For Diathermy: A targeted pin point of heat is applied to facial veins, causing them to collapse.
-
You’ll receive guidance tailored to the type of treatment performed, including what to expect as the veins fade and how to support healing.
Results & Longevity
Results develop gradually as the treated veins break down:
Sclerotherapy: Veins fade over several weeks as the body absorbs them.
Diathermy: Facial veins fade faster, with improvement visible within days to weeks.
Most clients require 1–3 sessions, depending on the number and size of veins being treated. Once destroyed, the same veins do not return, though new ones may appear over time.
Aftercare & Safety
Both sclerotherapy and diathermy thread vein removal are safe when performed by an experienced medical professional. I use sterile technique, medical-grade solutions, and controlled laser settings to protect your skin and deliver effective results.
You will receive personalised aftercare instructions depending on the treatment method, including what to expect and how to support healing.
