Now You See Them, Now You Don’t – Spider Veins Be Gone!

Apr 3, 2026 | Body, Skin Care

Have you ever noticed spider veins just appearing out of nowhere?

One day your skin looks clear and the next, you notice fine red or blue lines around your nose, cheeks, chest or legs.

At Emporium Treatment Clinic in Marylebone, this is something we see all the time and the positive thing is, you don’t have to be stuck with them.

With advanced treatments such as laser vein removal and sclerotherapy vein removal injections, those unwanted veins can be significantly reduced, even to the point where they are barely visible at, or simply gone!

What Exactly Are Spider Veins?

Spider veins, also known as thread veins, are tiny blood vessels that sit just beneath the surface of the skin. They often appear as:

  • Fine red, purple, or blue lines
  • Small clusters that resemble spider webs
  • Visible patches on the face, chest or legs

They are incredibly common and can affect both men and women at any age.

 

What Exactly Can Cause Spider Veins?

Some of the most common causes include:

  • Sun exposure
  • Heat
  • Genetics
  • Hormonal changes
  • Pregnancy
  • Weigh gain
  • Alcohol & Caffeine consumption
  • Spicy foods
  • Prolonged standing
  • High-impact exercise

On the face, they are usually harmless but frustrating. On the legs, they can sometimes progress into larger varicose veins if left untreated.

Why Do Veins Become More Noticeable?

Over time, the tiny vessels weaken and expand, making them more visible through the skin. While makeup or tanning might help disguise them temporarily, they will not treat the underlying issue.

Spider veins do not tend to fade on their own.

That is where professional treatment makes all the difference.

 

What Treatments Remove Spider Veins?

At Emporium Treatment Clinic in Marylebone, we use laser vein removal treatments and sclerotherapy vein removal injection treatments to reduce/remove spider veins.

 

Laser Vein Removal Treatments

For facial thread veins and smaller vascular lesions, we use advanced laser technology such as Nlite Laser Vein Reduction or Vasculase Laser Vein Reduction.

These treatments work by delivering targeted beam of light energy into the skin, safely breaking down the unwanted vessels without damaging the surface. The body’s eliminating system then naturally clears these away.

What you can expect:

  • Around 50–80% improvement per session
  • Small veins fading within 1 to 2 weeks
  • Medium veins fading within 4 to 12 weeks
  • Gradual improvement over time

Most clients benefit from a course of 2–3 sessions for optimal results.

 

Sclerotherapy Vein Removal Injections

When it comes to leg veins, sclerotherapy remains one of the most effective treatments available and it’s something we specialise in at the Emporium Treatment Clinic.

This involves carefully injecting a medical solution called sclerosant into the vein, causing it to harden, collapse and close. Over time, your body systems naturally eliminate it.

Why Choose Sclerotherapy For Leg Veins.

  • Ideal for larger or deeper veins
  • Highly effective & long-lasting
  • Minimal downtime
  • Smaller spider veins fade within 3 to 6 weeks
  • Larger veins can take around 2 to 4 months

 

 Which Spider Vein Treatment Is Right for You?

Every case is different, which is why at Emporium Treatment Clinic, Marylebone, we always start with a thorough consultation.

As a general guide:

  • Facial or very fine veins → Laser treatments
  • Leg veins or more prominent vessels → Sclerotherapy
  • Combination concerns → A tailored plan using both

Our approach is always personalised to suit your skin, your veins, and your goals.

 

How Long Do Vein Removal Treatment Results Last?

Once a vein has been successfully treated, it will not return.

However, new veins can develop over time due to factors like genetics, lifestyle, excess heat, or sun exposure. That is why we sometimes recommend maintenance treatments to keep your results looking their best.
