The Results & Benefits of ThermaVein Treatment

Patient Homecare Guidance

Skin will feel warm but should calm quickly, this can vary due to individual skin type and reaction to treatment. In the days following ThermaVein treatment some larger vessels may appear to be visible – this is a normal occurrence; these vessels will gradually fade and be broken down by the body. Some redness, dryness and tiny micro crusts could be present for a few days or longer which is normal. Further treatments can be applied after a minimum of 28 days. You may require more than one treatment to achieve optimum results. Gentle washing of the skin and the use of good quality breathable make-up will not affect results. After treatment and up to 4-6 weeks, you may have localised redness, however, most patients report this settles within a few days.

For the First 48 Hours:  

• Do not keep touching the treated area.
• Wash area gently, no scrubbing or rubbing.
• Avoid stretching the skin.
• If you are prone to flushing, avoid alcohol and spicy food.
• Avoid excessive exercise, nothing to cause sweating or dilation of the capillaries.
• Aloe Vera gel can be used after treatment.

After Healing has Occurred:

• Always protect the skin with a good broad spectrum SPF, harmful UV radiation is always present in daylight (no matter what time of year or weather conditions) UVA can penetrate glass, you are therefore not protected in your home, office or car.
• Avoid harsh cleansing, steaming or exfoliation of the skin, gentle effective products are advised. Use tepid water on the face and moderate temperature on the body in baths and showers. Avoid squeezing and pulling the skin.

• Avoid sunbeds, saunas and steam rooms.
