Thread veins most commonly occur on the face and legs. They are in fact tiny blood vessels that run very close to the surface and are usually blue or red in colour

Thread veins are normally removed for cosmetic reasons only and laser surgery is only applicable if the veins are less than 4 mm in size. Larger veins may be treated by injecting a substance called a sclerosant which causes the vein to shrink over a period of 8 weeks

Laser removal for thread veins does not normally need an anaesthetic although topical anaesthesia using a special gel may be used.
