Thread veins on the face? Let’s talk about them 👀

Those fine red or purple lines around the nose, cheeks and chin are thread veins (also called broken capillaries or telangiectasia). They’re tiny blood vessels that have become dilated and are visible through the skin. These are extremely common! 🤷‍♀️

Why do they happen?
🔸 Genetics – some of us are simply more prone
🔸 Sun damage over the years
🔸 Rosacea or skin that flushes easily
🔸 Changes in temperature – wind, cold, heat
🔸 Hormonal changes, including pregnancy
🔸 Ageing, as skin thins and loses support
🔸 Alcohol and harsh or over-abrasive skincare

But why treat them? 🤷‍♀️

Uneven tone and redness are among the first things that make skin look older, often more than fine lines 🥺 Clearing thread veins gives a more even, brighter complexion that looks fresher and healthier, with or without make-up 🤩 Thread veins also tend to increase over time with sun exposure and thinning skin, so treating them early helps keep them from building up. It’s a simple way to age well by focusing on healthy-looking skin rather than chasing quick fixes 👩‍🔧

So how do we treat them? 🤨

We use the Nd:YAG wavelength on our Cynosure laser. The energy is absorbed by the blood in the vein, which heats and collapses it & the body then clears it away naturally 😱 Treatments are quick, there’s no downtime for most people & you can usually see a difference after the first session ✅ Some clients need a few sessions depending on the size and number of veins ❤️

📅 A patch test is needed before your first treatment so if this is something you would like treated book a consultation and patch test using the link in the bio or drop us a WhatsApp message ❤️

It may be “active season,” but that doesn’t mean your skin needs every retinoid, acid and corrective serum at once 😳👀

Let’s choose the ingredients that make sense for your skin and create a routine you can use consistently 🫶

Not sure which facial treatment to book? You’re not alone & you aren’t expected to know what your skin needs 🤷‍♀️ With so many options out there, it can be hard to know where to start. If you’re unsure, this is the one to book! 📲

The Introductory Facial takes the guesswork out of it. We’ll assess your skin, chat about what you’d like to improve, and recommend the treatments that will actually make a difference for you 🎉 Together we’ll build a plan that fits your timing, budget, commitment and homecare, so you know exactly what to book next and why 💖

If your skin is ready, we can go straight into an advanced treatment such as microneedling or a chemical peel during the appointment. If not, we’ll do a bespoke facial including; a deep cleanse, gentle enzymatic peel to resurface and brighten & maybe some radio frequency to gently lift and stimulate the skin. It’s completely tailored to your skin on the day ❤️

You’ll leave with glowing skin, a clear plan and some testers to try at home if you are needing a new skincare routine. It’s a relaxed, no-pressure appointment and the easiest way to start 🤩

The only “sorry” we will accept?

“Sorry I waited so long to start laser hair removal”😂

If shaving, frequent upkeep or irritation has been taking up more of your time than you would like, laser hair removal may be worth exploring 🤩

Because treatments are completed as a course, starting now can help you build a routine before next summer arrives 🎉

Laser hair removal isn’t “removing” hair instantly, it’s targeting the follicle during its active growth phase 😮

Brown or black pigment is needed within the hair as this will allow the heat to travel down the follicle in order to weaken it so hair grows back finer, slower, and eventually much less 👏

The key to great results isn’t just the technology, it’s the treatment plan, timing, and consistency ✅

If you’re tired of shaving, ingrowns, or irritation, laser can be a long-term solution.
