Thread Vein Treatment in London
Thread veins — also called spider veins or broken capillaries — are fine red or purple vessels that sit close to the surface of the skin, most often on the face, nose and legs. At The Armstrong Clinic in London, treatment is delivered by an experienced Independent Prescriber, beginning with a proper clinical assessment of your skin, medical history and the type of veins you have.

Frequently asked questions
How much does thread vein removal cost in London?
Thread vein treatment at our London clinic is priced by session length: £175 for 15 minutes and £300 for 30 minutes. Your clinician will advise which is right for you at assessment, before anything goes ahead.
Does thread vein treatment hurt?
Most people describe a brief hot pinprick or flick sensation as each vessel is treated. It is well tolerated and no general anaesthetic is needed. Treated areas can look pink or slightly raised for a short time afterwards.
How many sessions will I need?
Many people see a clear improvement after one session, but thread veins vary. Larger or more widespread areas often need two or three sessions spaced several weeks apart. You will be given an honest estimate at your assessment.
Can leg thread veins be treated as well as facial veins?
Yes, where they are clinically suitable. Leg veins are assessed carefully first, because some are linked to underlying venous problems that need a different route of care — we will tell you if that applies to you.
Is there any downtime?
There is no formal downtime. Expect some redness, mild swelling or small scabs over the treated vessels for a few days. You will be given aftercare guidance, including sun protection and what to avoid immediately afterwards.
