Who Should Have This Treatment?

Those looking to quickly and effectively eliminate visible red or blue spider veins.

Thread Veins are commonly seen on the face, appearing as singular vessels or collectively as spider veins. Telangiectasia can cause facial redness, which can define your skin complexion.

Using the Icon™ MaxG advanced technology, we can precisely target the specific area affected by thread veins. The unique combination of Dynamic Spectrum Shifting SM and dual-band filters allows the MaxG provide more uniform heating across the entire diameter of the vessel, clearing even the deepest facial vessels.

The treatment harnesses the IPL to create wavelengths of specifically filtered light to target haemoglobin (red blood cells in the vessels). These specialised pulses of light can target the vessels without harming the surrounding skin. The light delivered to your skin causes them to slowly disappear through your body’s natural healing process.

  • Redness, swelling, temporary darkening of the vein, crusting, slight bruising

  • Avoid sun exposure, hot baths, and strenuous exercise for 48 hours. Do not pick or scratch the treated area. Apply the recommended ointment and use a high SPF.
