Our Facial Thread Vein Treatment uses the precision of the Cutera Excel V+ laser to safely target visible thread veins, broken capillaries, and vascular lesions. With clinically proven wavelengths and pinpoint accuracy, it minimises redness and restores clarity without harming surrounding skin.
TREATMENT OPTIONS
FACIAL THREAD VEINS
The treatment works by delivering controlled laser energy directly into the vessel, causing it to coagulate and be naturally reabsorbed by the body.
It is fast, minimally invasive, and suitable for treating delicate facial areas including the nose, cheeks, and chin.
A visible improvement can often be seen after one session, although a course of treatments may be recommended depending on the severity and number of vessels present.

FAQs
How does the Cutera Excel V+ treat thread veins?
The laser delivers targeted energy to the visible vein, causing it to collapse and be gradually reabsorbed by the body. This results in visibly clearer, more even-toned skin.
What areas can be treated?
Common treatment areas include the cheeks, nose, and chin, but most of the face with visible thread veins can be addressed.
How many sessions will I need?
Many clients see a visible improvement after just one session, but a course of 2–3 treatments may be recommended for more extensive or persistent vascular concerns.
Is there downtime?
Downtime is minimal, but some temporary after-effects are expected. You may experience mild redness or warmth in the treated area immediately after the session. In some cases, treated thread veins may darken dramatically before fading, and small scabs or crusting may form as part of the healing process. These effects are completely normal and typically resolve within 5–10 days. Most clients return to normal activities the same day, though we advise avoiding heat, sun exposure, exercise and active skincare for 48 hours post-treatment.
Is the treatment painful?
Most clients describe the sensation as a quick flick on the skin. The Cutera Excel V+ handpiece includes cooling to enhance comfort throughout the procedure.
