Vascular & Rosacea Treatment Cheltenham | Thread Vein Removal
Advanced Vascular & Rosacea Treatments in Cheltenham.Target thread veins, redness and rosacea with precision laser technology for clearer, calmer skin.
Restore a Clear, Even Complexion.
Visible veins and persistent redness can be difficult to manage with skincare alone.
At Skin Perfection in Cheltenham, we use advanced laser technology to safely target and treat vascular concerns, helping restore a calmer, more even skin tone.
By delivering controlled light energy into the skin, we can selectively heat and collapse unwanted blood vessels. These are then naturally reabsorbed by the body, leaving the skin clearer with little to no trace of the original concern.
What Can Be Treated?
We can treat a wide range of vascular concerns, including:
- Leg veins – red and blue spider veins on the legs
- Facial thread veins – broken capillaries on the nose and cheeks
- Rosacea & diffuse redness – persistent flushing and visible vessels
- Campbell de Morgan spots – small red “blood spots” on the body
Each treatment is tailored depending on the type and depth of the vessels.
Why Our Dual-Laser Approach is Different
Vascular concerns vary in depth, size and colour. By combining two advanced wavelengths, we can treat a wider range of conditions more effectively than standard single-laser systems.
Nd (1064nm) – Deeper Vessels
Ideal for leg veins and deeper blue vessels. This wavelength penetrates deeper into the skin to safely target and seal the source of the vessel.
Alexandrite (755nm) – Surface Redness & Thread Veins
Highly effective for superficial thread veins and redness, including rosacea. It precisely targets haemoglobin to reduce visible capillaries on the face, particularly around the nose and cheeks.
Treatment Plan & Results
Number of Sessions
Most vascular concerns require 1 to 3 treatments for significant improvement. Smaller facial veins may clear quickly, while leg veins often require additional sessions.
Treatment Intervals
- Facial veins: every 4–6 weeks
- Leg veins: every 8–10 weeks to allow the body to fully clear treated vessels
Results
- Some vessels may disappear immediately
- Others gradually fade as they are absorbed by the body
- Skin appears clearer, calmer and more even over time
Treatment Experience & Aftercare
Comfort
Treatment is quick and generally well tolerated. Most clients describe the sensation as a brief “snap” or warm pinprick. A medical-grade cooling system is used to enhance comfort throughout.
Downtime
- Facial treatments: minimal downtime, with slight redness for up to 24 hours
- Leg veins: may appear darker or slightly bruised for a short period as they heal
Aftercare
- Avoid hot baths, saunas and strenuous exercise for 48 hours
- Wear daily SPF 50 to protect the treated area

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the treatment work?
Light energy is delivered into the skin and absorbed by the targeted blood vessels. This heats and destroys the vessel, which is then naturally reabsorbed by the body over time.
Which types of veins can be treated?
Most superficial vascular lesions can be treated, including facial thread veins, rosacea-related redness, spider veins and some leg vessels. Suitability will be confirmed during consultation.
How is the treatment carried out?
A handheld applicator is placed against the skin, delivering short pulses of light to the treatment area. The device is moved across the skin until the full area has been treated. Protective eyewear is worn throughout.
Am I suitable for treatment?
Most people are suitable for vascular laser treatments. A full consultation is required to assess your skin and ensure the treatment is safe and appropriate for you.
Does the treatment hurt?
The treatment is generally well tolerated. Most clients describe it as a quick, mild pinprick or snapping sensation, with minimal discomfort overall.
Are there any side effects?
You may experience temporary redness, warmth or mild swelling after treatment. In rare cases, slight blistering or temporary pigmentation changes may occur. These will be discussed during your consultation.
How many treatments will I need?
Typically, 1–3 sessions are needed for optimal results, although some smaller lesions may clear in a single treatment. More complex concerns may require additional sessions.
How long does each session take?
Treatment usually takes between 15–45 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas being treated.
