Reducing visible vessels for even skin
Treatment of burst veins and vessels
Stretched veins and visible vessels, also known as teleangiectasias, can be perceived as disturbing and are common on the face and body. At SkinDoctor, we offer effective treatment of burst veins and vessels using diathermy. This treatment is performed by experienced and knowledgeable specialists, with an eye for safety and a beautiful aesthetic result.
What is diathermy?
Diathermy is a proven technique that uses heat energy to purposely cauterise unwanted vessels. As a result, the visible veins and vessels gradually disappear, while the surrounding skin tissue remains intact. The treatment is precise and suitable for both small and superficial vessels.
Recovery after diathermy treatment
After diathermy treatment, small wounds or scabs often appear on the treated areas. This is a normal and desirable skin reaction. Recovery time averages a few days, depending on the treated area and the individual skin reaction.
It is important to take good care of the skin during recovery and strictly follow aftercare instructions. This promotes a successful recovery and prevents unwanted side effects.
Aftercare and advice
For optimal and safe recovery after diathermy treatment, we recommend:
- Avoid sauna, steam bath and tanning bed for at least several days
- Protect skin from direct sunlight
- Touch the treated areas as little as possible
- Use only the recommended care products
- Let any scabs come off by themselves
By following this advice carefully, you will reduce the risk of pigment changes and scarring.
