I have Thread (Spider Veins) on back of knees and would love to get them out!! I am in the Chelsea area - does any 1 know if NHS or u can buy creams to help
How much does the treatment cost for removal of Thread Veins? also nearest doctor in Harlow, thank you
I have had treatment for my thread veins with an Edinburgh based clinic called Skin Solutions. The results have been fantastic, I had previously tried laser treatment but after 6 sessions and lots of scarring I looked for an alternative. Louise Caithness who carries out the procedures is extremely professional and I am delighted with the results after just 2 sessions. I would highly recommend her! www.zestskinsolutions.co.uk
I have also facial thread veins and enquired about the laser treatment with Dr Newmans clinic after seeing the TV programme some time ago. I do not recall anything being mentioned on the programme as well as info. on the Embarrasing Bodies website as regards the laser treatment not available to people suffering from epilepsy in which I do. I have read on other websites that Sclerotherapy, which is another alternative seems to be recomended for use mainly on the body and legs.What other options do I have please?

can this be done on leg spider veins?I have quite a few round the back and sides of my knees.Does anyone know of anywhere in the Warrington Cheshire area that does this treatment.Any info is most welcome as I would love to be able to get my legs out after many years of covering up!
I've had this done by Dr Newman, looking at the women on the video she has had more than one treatment and is wearing make up for the end interview. It does work as my nose was covered in small thread veins, but don't expect miracles and perfect skin.
