What is Thread Vein Removal?
Thread veins, also known as spider veins, are small red or purple blood vessels visible just under the surface of the skin. They commonly appear on the face, thighs, and legs and can be caused by genetics, ageing, hormonal changes, or prolonged standing.
At La Belle Forme in Glasgow, we use advanced laser technology to safely treat thread veins by delivering targeted light energy. This heats and damages the vessel, causing it to collapse and fade naturally from view over time.
Our laser system is precise and minimally invasive, offering a proven solution for clearer, more even-toned skin.
What Happens During Treatment?
- Your practitioner will begin with a consultation to assess your veins and confirm your suitability.
- Protective eyewear will be provided.
- The laser handpiece is passed over the treatment area, targeting the veins with short pulses of light.
- You may feel a brief, warm snapping sensation.
- Most people experience minimal discomfort and require no anaesthetic.
Each treatment takes just 15–45 minutes depending on the area.

While thread vein removal is generally safe, some mild side effects may occur:

All risks and aftercare will be clearly discussed with you before treatment.
