Thread Veins

I have thread veins on my face and I want to get rid of them without expensive surgery.

Any ideas please?

  • Eating horsechestnut (found in tablet form in most health food shops), or applying a cream with the essential oil, and taking Vit K....These can do wonders...takes time though. Also to stop them getting any worse or adding to them, try not to use "extreme" temperatures of water on your face, e.g really hot water...try not to shock the surface too much! Hope this is a start...

    Not sure if I read somewhere that Haemorrhoid (pile) cream does the job??

    Anyone else heard of this?

    I went to my local Beauticians and had capillary treatment. Cost me £15 for about 15-20 mins and had about 4 sessions but did the trick, but mine was a mark on my face.

    Also use an anti-redness moisturiser which seems to help.

    Hi,
    coincidence or what! I have just been reading a magazine that came free with sky mag. They are doing 'Vein miracle' which promises to get rid of thread veins. It says it is a vitamin K cream with other 'natural ingredients'. Web site https://www.easylifegroup.com. Costs £17.99 though?
    If anyone has tried it let me know - i have some tiny thread veins on my face (from years of steaming as an acned teen I think!!!!! ;) )
    Hope that helps!
