Thread Vein Removal & Rosacea Treatment
Facial Redness, SPIDER Vein removal & Rosacea Treatment
Thread veins or spider veins are small unsightly superficial red, purple or blue veins. These broken veins occur when the vein dilates and become larger so they are visible through the transparency of the skin. Although thread veins / spider veins are quite common they can cause some distress and embarrassment for those who have them. Generally these occur around the nose and across the cheeks and chin so cause facial redness which can often be a concern. Rosacea is a chronic condition causing redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes bumps. Telangiectasia refers to the visible dilation of small blood vessels near the surface of the skin or mucous membranes. These appear as thin, red or purple lines. All these conditions give rise to facial redness and can be treated very effectively at our clinic.
Thread veins may be hereditary or as a result of a variety of factors including damage from sun exposure, wind and the extremes of temperature. The over use of steroid creams and certain auto immune conditions may also induce thread veins, as can alcohol consumption. Often the exact cause is unknown and may just be part of the natural ageing process or as a part of a skin condition called rosacea.
Thread vein removal
Vessels are effectively treated with Intense Pulse Light (IPL) or laser with minimal downtime or risk in just a few quick, easy treatments. A focused beam of light targets and heats the veins, causing them to collapse and eventually fade. Surrounding skin remains unaffected.
This treatment is for you if:
- Want to reduce overall facial redness and reduce blushing
- Be rid of embarrassing broken veins or red spots
- Have clearer, brighter, fresher looking skin
- Suitable for face, neck and chest
Prevention of Thread Veins After Treatment
- Use sunscreen daily to protect the skin.
- Avoid hot showers, harsh skincare products, or anything that could irritate treated skin.
- Manage lifestyle factors such as weight, activity levels, and alcohol consumption to prevent new thread veins.
Facial Vein Removal with Motus AY
Safe, Effective & Precise Laser Treatment for Broken Capillaries, Spider Veins & Redness
If you’re tired of visible thread veins, broken capillaries or facial redness affecting your confidence, we have the very latest and best solution. Here at The Laser Clinic Morpeth, we use the cutting-edge Motus AY laser system to effectively treat a wide range of facial vascular concerns – including spider veins, telangiectasia, and red vein patches – with minimal discomfort and downtime.
What Are Facial Thread Veins?
Facial thread veins – also known as spider veins or broken capillaries – are tiny blood vessels that become visible just beneath the skin’s surface. Often appearing on the nose, cheeks and chin, they can be caused by sun exposure, genetics, aging, rosacea, or environmental damage.
While harmless, these small red or purple lines can leave skin looking uneven or flushed – and they’re notoriously difficult to conceal with makeup.

How Does Thread Vein Laser Treatment Work?
Using the Motus AY laser, we emit controlled light energy into the skin, which is absorbed by the blood vessels. This causes the thread veins to coagulate and break down, before being naturally cleared away by the body’s lymphatic system.
Because the laser targets haemoglobin in the blood, the treatment is highly effective at reducing the appearance of facial redness and visible capillaries without damaging the surrounding tissue.
