Thread Vein Treatment in Marbella
Thread veins — spider veins or broken capillaries — are fine red or purple vessels sitting close to the surface of the skin, most commonly across the nose, cheeks and legs. Sun exposure on the Costa del Sol makes them more visible for many people. At The Armstrong Clinic in Marbella, treatment is delivered by an experienced UK-registered Independent Prescriber, starting 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 Marbella?
Treatment 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, and you will always know the cost 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.
Can I have treatment while I am on holiday in Marbella?
Often, yes — but sun exposure immediately after treatment is not advisable. If you are visiting, book early in your stay and plan to keep the treated area covered and protected with high-factor SPF while it settles.
How many sessions will I need?
Many people see a clear improvement after one session. 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.
Do you treat leg thread veins 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.
Where in Marbella are you based, and do you also treat in the UK?
Thread vein treatment is available at our Marbella clinic and at our London clinic. Get in touch and we will confirm the location and available appointment times with you.
