Restore Clearer, Smoother Skin with Advanced Vein Treatments
Visible veins—such as thread veins, spider veins, or broken capillaries—can appear on the face and body due to ageing, genetics, sun exposure, hormonal changes, or lifestyle factors. While generally harmless, these tiny red, blue, or purple veins can be cosmetically bothersome and affect confidence.
At The De Peyer Clinic, we offer safe, clinically proven solutions for unwanted veins using two trusted methods: Sterex Advanced Electrolysis for facial veins and Fibrovein Sclerotherapy for leg veins.
What Are Thread Veins and Spider Veins?
Thread veins (also known as telangiectasia) are small, dilated blood vessels visible just beneath the skin’s surface. They can appear as fine red or purple lines and often develop on:
Face (especially cheeks and nose)
Legs
Chest
Ankles
Though they don’t usually pose a health risk, many clients choose removal for cosmetic reasons.
Sclerotherapy In Action
Watch how sclerotherapy is performed in real time as the solution is gently injected into the targeted veins to help them fade and clear over the following weeks.
Our Vein Removal Treatments
1. Sterex Advanced Electrolysis
Ideal for Facial Thread Veins
Sterex is a precise method for treating fine facial veins using a tiny probe that delivers a short burst of heat (thermolysis) to cauterise and collapse the vessel. The body then naturally reabsorbs the treated vein.
Benefits
Quick and minimally invasive
Immediate reduction in visible redness
Suitable for small facial veins and broken capillaries
Minimal downtime
Best For
Nose and cheek thread veins
Broken capillaries on the face
Small red blood spots (cherry angiomas)
2. Fibrovein Sclerotherapy
Gold Standard for Leg Veins
Fibrovein is a sclerosing agent injected directly into the visible vein. It causes the vein walls to collapse and seal shut, after which the body gradually reabsorbs the treated vein over several weeks.
Benefits
Effective on larger or deeper thread veins
Minimal discomfort with fine-needle technique
No surgery or general anaesthetic required
Excellent long-term results with minimal recurrence
Best For
Thread veins on the legs and thighs
Spider veins and reticular veins
Clients not suitable for laser or electrolysis
What to Expect During Treatment
Aftercare instructions and follow-up are provided to ensure optimal results.
All treatments begin with a comprehensive consultation and medical assessment.
Most clients require 1–3 sessions depending on the severity and treatment area.
Mild redness, bruising, or scabbing may occur and typically resolves within a few days.
Before and After
Below you can see how sclerotherapy reduces the appearance of spider veins with a clear comparison of the area before treatment and the improved results after.
Before: Visible spider veins and redness across the untreated area.
After: Veins appear significantly faded with a clearer and more even skin tone.
