the legs<\/span><\/a>, we never use microsclerotherapy on\u00a0facial thread veins. This is due to the small risk that the injected liquid could enter blood vessels that are linked to the eyes or brain. Microsclerotherapy can also cause <a href=\"https:\/\/uk-vc.com\/faqs-varicose-veins-operation\/#what-is-skin-staining\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">skin staining<\/span><\/a>, which may last for many months and would appear unsightly on the face.<\/p><p>In contrast, thermocoagulation is very safe, with no risk of skin staining. The treatment is effective and permanent, with instant visible changes and minimal aftercare.<\/p><p>Thermocoagulation is predominantly used to treat face veins, but it can also be used to treat veins on other parts of the body. For example, it is used on thread veins in the legs for a small percentage of people who don\u2019t respond well to microsclerotherapy. This is because some patients have such fine thread veins in the legs that they\u2019re too small to access with a needle. Others can\u2019t seem to get rid of their thread veins despite adequate injections.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6b2f56c6 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6b2f56c6\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fa71029 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fa71029\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What does thermocoagulation  involve?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-24420ebd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"24420ebd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u2018ThermaVein\u00ae\u2019, is a micro thermal coagulation procedure that removes smaller thread veins. The procedure is completely non-invasive, and simply involves applying a precisely targeted source of heat to seal the veins.<\/p><p>Thermocoagulation works by sealing the tiny, thin-walled face veins closed. Heat is applied using microwave energy at the end of a minuscule needle, which just pricks the very surface of the skin that covers the vein. The vein itself is not punctured.<\/p><p>Heat is introduced every few millimetres along the vein, through the small needle. The vein instantly disappears in front of your eyes. There will be an inflammatory response to the treatment which may leave you with some redness and the appearance that the veins are still there. This can last a few weeks. Sometimes veins will require a further session of thermocoagulation treatment in order to get a full cosmetic resolution. This will be discussed at consultation and after every appointment.<\/p><p>For most patients, thermocoagulation is very tolerable. It is often described to feel like small electric shocks. The thermocoagulation procedure can make your eyes water when done around the nose.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7b8f4506 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"7b8f4506\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-526aec90 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"526aec90\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">A detailed description of the thermocoagulation procedure<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-58f0b036 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"58f0b036\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Pre-procedure<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1169fb6a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1169fb6a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The thermocoagulation procedure takes place in a treatment room with your consultant and a nurse.<\/p><p>As part of your <a href=\"https:\/\/uk-vc.com\/thread-veins-removal-consultation-process\/\"><u>initial consultation<\/u><\/a>, we will have explained the treatment options available to you (including potential complications and success rates).<\/p><p>At the start of your appointment we will ensure that you fully understand all of the information provided to you.
