FACIAL THREAD VEINS

Laser treatment destroys the wall of the thread vein, causing the veins to gradually disappear after treatment. These thin vessels around the nose, chin or cheeks are small broken capillaries, often formed because of sun exposure, hereditary and lifestyle habits. Skin texture and pore size will also be improved. The number of treatments depends on the location and number of thread veins.

Cryotherapy Skin Lesion Removal

Cryotherapy or Cryosurgery is a highly effective and safe procedure that is used to freeze and destroy unwanted benign skin lesions. The Cryopen delivers exceptional results for the complete removal of benign skin lesions in as little as one treatment.

The Cryopen™ is an FDA and CE registered advanced cryotherapy innovation which delivers a fine pinpoint spray of liquid nitrous oxide at a constant temperature of -89 degrees under high pressure which allows the clinician to work within millimetre precision. This allows the nitrous oxide to be delivered directly to the treated area and not to the healthy surrounding tissue, which prevents any pain during treatment.
