Is it right for you
Who it’s for
Adults with small, fine red, blue or purple surface veins (spider veins) on the legs or face who'd like a non-invasive cosmetic option. It isn't a treatment for varicose veins or for any vein that is painful, swollen or bulging (see below).
Two ways to see it
How it works
iiThe modern view
This is a DDS bio-current massage over the area: a gentle current flows through the therapist's bare hands as they massage, and a handheld applicator is also used.
DDS is a bio-current massage system used here for comfort and relaxation. It doesn't close, seal or remove veins. Medical options for spider veins, such as sclerotherapy injections and vascular lasers, are provided by physicians. This treatment is not one of them.

How many sessions people typically book
Typically starts with a series of 10, once a week. If you've had spider vein treatments before, such as laser or injections (sclerotherapy), tell us when and how they went: previous treatments can change the treated veins and how we approach them, so we generally prefer to assess you and begin before other procedures, where appropriate. If you haven't had any, we see the veins in their untreated condition and plan your treatment from there. How well treatment works varies with the size, location and severity of the veins; we're happy to assess yours and discuss whether it suits you.
