Known professionally as Telangiectasia, red veins are commonly referred to as broken veins, dilated capillaries, thread veins or naevi.
They are often found on the face and legs although can appear on the chest and rib area- front and back. The appearance is that of a very fine network of red wavy lines that lie at very close to the surface of the skin. They may appear in clusters or individually, some being darker than others. A cluster of the red lines or capillaries can take on the appearance of a spider therefore are often referred to as spider naevi. The condition will differ from person to person. it can be a minor as one capillary in an isolated area or as extreme as capillaries scattered across a larger area.
Where there is normally a scattering of broken capillaries it is generally found that the skin is fairly sensitive and will flush easily.
The treatment consists of a minute pre-packaged sterilised disposable needle that is applied lightly to the surface of the capillary. The low current employed in this treatment is that used in electrical epilation. This current produces a heating effect and when applied to the capillary the structure and its contents coagulate (dries up). The skin then needs to heal allowing the dead skin cells that where involved in this process to push up to the surface of the skin and flake off, (similar to the healing of a small abrasion (the size of a pin prick).
