The fine red veins that appear just beneath the surface of your skin, are commonly known as spider or thread veins, and are, essentially, broken and enlarged blood vessels. They can appear on the face, legs or anywhere on the body. Red veins are not dangerous but can look unattractive, especially in areas where the skin is visible and can be a nuisance to cover up, even with the thickest make up.
At Bank MediSpa in Hale, Cheshire, Dr A and his team offer red vein removal, using the LUMINA laser, from Lynton Lasers, a British manufacturer of medical-grade lasers for a variety of skin and hair concerns.
