Facial Veins & Spider Veins Treatment – ThermaVein®
Instant, Precise Removal of Facial Red Veins and Broken Capillaries
Facial thread veins, often called spider veins, broken capillaries, or telangiectasia — are tiny visible veins that appear around the nose, cheeks, and chin. These become more noticeable with age, sun exposure, hormonal changes, and sensitive or thinning skin.
At Genesis Clinic, Rodney Street, we use ThermaVein®, an advanced thermocoagulation device that offers instant, safe, and highly targeted removal of facial veins with minimal discomfort and no downtime.
ThermaVein is the gold-standard treatment for small facial red veins that are too fine for sclerotherapy or traditional laser.

What Is ThermaVein®?
ThermaVein uses a very fine probe and a precise micro-current (thermocoagulation) to seal the vein wall instantly.
This collapses the vein safely and effectively, causing it to disappear or fade rapidly.
No lasers, no injections, no damage to the surrounding skin.
It is ideal for delicate facial areas where precision and safety are essential.
