The
PROCEDURE
Starting with a full consultation, we discuss your medical history and perform a thorough examination. It’s essential to pinpoint any underlying conditions such as varicose veins, skin changes, or swelling, which may influence the outcome of the treatment.
During the procedure, a specialised solution is delicately introduced into the targeted vein. This gentle process encourages the vein to naturally fade away over time. As the body responds to the treatment, the appearance of the vein on the skin’s surface gradually diminishes, leading to clearer skin.

SPIDER VEINS
Spider veins on the legs, often referred to as telangiectasias, are small, unsightly veins that are visible just beneath the skin’s surface. They can result from various factors, including genetics, prolonged standing, trauma, or hormonal influences. While they might be cosmetic for many, they can sometimes cause discomfort. Spider vein removal is especially effective for these leg veins. Post-treatment, wearing medical-grade compression stockings is crucial for up to 6 weeks to aid the healing process. Over time, some veins may reappear, warranting occasional treatment sessions for optimal maintenance.
Spider veins can be attributed to numerous factors, such as age, genetics, gender, pregnancy, occupation, and more. For instance, prolonged standing, medications, trauma, underlying varicose veins, or hormonal contraceptives can all play a part. If underlying varicose veins are detected, you may need to consult a vascular surgeon before undergoing spider vein treatments for the best results.
You receive a thorough medical consultation, encompassing an evaluation of your medical history, current medications, and a physical examination. We especially look for signs of varicose veins, skin changes, or swelling. We also discuss potential contraindications, such as previous vascular issues, allergies, or specific medications.
Spider vein removal is completely effective for the correct patient; that's why a thorough medical consultation is essential. If the treatment isn't suitable for you, you are referred to an appropriate medical specialist or vascular surgeon.
If you are a suitable candidate for the treatment depending upon the severity of the area to be treated, you can expect to see a 60-80% resolution of the veins in the first session allowing 6-8 weeks post treatment with full compliance of compression stockings to be worn every day.
Greater results are achieved with a second session; however, if compliance is not met, minimal results are achieved from injections alone.
The severity of the area to be treated is discussed in consultation and the amount of improvement that can be achieved. Full kidney function is required for this treatment.
Over time, some thread veins may re-emerge, making regular treatment sessions beneficial. The interval between the appearance of new veins can vary, ranging from 1-10 years, but the treatment remains effective for these subsequent sessions.
After the procedure, if your spider veins were treated on your legs, it's essential to wear medical-grade compression stockings. These stockings should be worn for up to 6 weeks.

The treated areas may initially appear worse before showing improvement, and it's typically suggested to wait 8-12 weeks between treatments. For the best results in recovery, your aftercare should include taking brisk walks, avoiding extreme temperatures, and refraining from flying for 4 weeks. High-impact exercises should be avoided for 2 weeks post-treatment; however, it's important to remain mobile and active during this time.
After undergoing spider vein removal, some patients experience side effects including bruising, swelling, tenderness, and itching. In some cases, there might be no apparent treatment effect. Another possible side effect is hemosiderin, which can cause a yellow, brown, or black stain on your leg, resembling a bruise. Hyperpigmentation or discolouration of the treated area is also a potential outcome.
It's important to note that this list isn't exhaustive, and other side effects that may arise are thoroughly discussed during your consultation to ensure you are fully informed.
Spider vein removal, while effective, is not an instantaneous solution. Following treatment, patients might initially notice the treated areas appearing more pronounced or even slightly aggravated. This is a typical response as the body begins the healing process and starts to reabsorb the treated veins. The visible results can vary from one individual to another, depending largely on the size and severity of the treated veins, as well as the individual's healing response.
Over time, the treated veins fade, with most patients observing a significant reduction or complete disappearance over the span of 8-12 weeks. However, it's important to remember that the timeline can vary based on individual factors, and multiple sessions might be necessary to achieve optimal results. Moreover, as with many cosmetic procedures, patience and adhering to aftercare guidelines ensure the best possible outcome.

CLIENT FEEDBACK
Shelley Wildman7 August 2023I had my laser done here and omg! The results I have are more than what I was expecting! Skin is so much smoother and younger looking. My treatment was carried out professionally and thoroughly. The clinic itself and treatment room are very clean and tidy and the hot chocolate is amazing too!
elisabeth caddick7 August 2023I got my lips done by Amanda and I am so pleased with them. She made the whole process so comfortable and talked me through my options and helped me achieve what I wanted.
Dean C9 April 2023It’s very reassuring that Amanda has the knowledge to recommend the right treatments. As a male in he’s 50’s, it’s vital to be guided by somebody who is on top of her game and continues to keep up with new advancements.
GlutenFree Liverpool8 April 2023I wholeheartedly recommend this clinic to anyone having questions about their skin or specific wishes. I found the entire service incredibly organised and most importantly very much personalised. They do really go that extra mile for you depending on what your needs are and you do really feel well looked after. They are also very flexible and if you need an appointment no matter how busy they are, they seem to fit you in even if it’s 7am in the morning! Really happy I found this clinic so wanted to share my experience with anyone who are hesitating to make that first call xxx
jonathan R6 April 2023Amanda is very professional always quick responses via email or phone if you need her gave me great skincare and advice and treatment for birthmark removal which is going great highly recommended
Gaynor Lloyd4 April 2023I have visited Amanda three times and had Aqualyx fat dissolving treatment on a neck lump. Amanda has been friendly and professional and made me feel at ease. During the procedure Amanda explained what she was doing and what would happen. The aftercare has been excellent to. If you are thinking of having Aqualyx treatment I highly recommend a specialist like Amanda. The only thing I would have liked at the first consultation was a discussion on rhe cost of treatment, as it was a bit of a shock! Although this was mainly my fault for not asking. However the results are well worth it.
Denise Hampson30 March 2023Amazing lady Her attention to detail is 2nd to none I thought I would need a lower face lift But no !!!! the results achieved by Amanda’s expert eye and use of products has left me happy and content and needing to go under the knife Thank you Amanda you are quite simply the best
Natasha Baggaley4 March 2023I’ve been suffering from breakouts recently and Amanda prescribed a medical grade skincare plan for me from GetHarley which I’ve been using for a couple of weeks. My skin is already much clearer and I visited the clinic today for a Hollywood spectra carbon peel. I’m committed to looking after my skin under Amanda ‘s expertise and guidance and I hope that this will mean I will slow down the aging process.
Chloe G22 February 2023I am so glad I decided to go see Amanda. She is so genuinely warm, friendly and knowledgable. Everything is explained really well and she’s very patient. II feel very confident in her care and I have already noticed a huge improvement in my acne and scarring in just 1 month. I was wasting money on products and facials that weren’t right for me and it feels so comforting to know I am receiving expert care that’s worth every penny. I would recommend her time and time again.
