RED VEIN TREATMENT & DIATHERMY

 

Are you fed up with those annoying red patches on your cheeks or small red thread capillaries around the edge of your nostrils or the sides of the nose? They are a common affliction of New Zealanders predominantly caused by our intensive sunlight and lifestyles.

Images Offers Two types of Red Vein Treatment

• Classic Cauterizing / Diathermy of Red Veins / Capillaries with the Electrolysis Needle
• Intense Pulsed Light to coagulate very fine red veins / flushed cheeks / Rosacea

 

There can be many causes of these damaged capillaries … sun exposure, harsh treatment of the skin and injury such as squeezing. In some cases, fine skin texture and couperose may be an inherited factor

 

Diathermy Red Vein Treatment

Red Vein Treatment is part of Our Advanced Electrolysis Treatments using our Electrolysis Machines and skilled trained Electrologists and Beauty Therapists. – Christine and Satwinder.

Our Other Electrolysis Treatments are Electrolysis Hair Removal and Advanced Electrolysis for Skin Tag and Other Benign Lesion Removal.

Diathermy Red Vein Treatment is Only Performed on Facial Capillaries.
Diathermy is an advanced technique employed by Electrologists to reduce and eliminate, individual, visible surface capillaries (Thread Veins) and spider veins, on the face and décolletage
We use electrolysis to coagulate the capillary immediately. Imagine the capillary as a tiny tunnel just under the skin surface (within 1-2 mm of the surface). Blood rushes down these tunnels. The very fine needle is inserted into these and heat applied which causes the capillary to heat to approximately 50-60 degrees centigrade, which coagulates (cooks) the blood, blocking the capillary. The Capillary then dies and the waste is reabsorbed back into the body.
Diathermy / Needle red vein is better for the large capillaries whereas IPL is better for the very fine capillaries.
Other unseen capillaries supply the skin and these take over from the ones destroyed.
