Facial Thread Vein Treatment – Lynton Excelight IPL
Please reach us at hello@skin-lab.uk if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Facial thread veins (also known as telangiectasia) are small, visible red or purple blood vessels that commonly appear on the cheeks, nose and chin. They can develop due to genetics, sun damage, rosacea or skin thinning over time.
Lynton Excelight uses targeted pulses of light energy that are absorbed by the haemoglobin within the blood vessel. The light converts to heat, causing the vessel walls to safely collapse and be naturally reabsorbed by the body. Surrounding skin remains unharmed, resulting in clearer, more even-toned skin.
Yes. Lynton devices are UK-manufactured, medically certified systems that are widely used within NHS and private hospital settings for a range of dermatological treatments. Their use in medical environments reflects their strong safety profile, reliability and clinical effectiveness.
Most patients require 3-4 sessions depending on the severity and size of the vessels. Treatments are usually spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Some vessels disappear immediately, while others gradually fade over a few weeks.
Downtime is minimal. Mild redness or warmth may occur immediately after treatment and typically settles within a few hours. You can usually return to normal activities the same day.
