What Causes Thread Veins?
Thread Veins: What Are They and How The Hogarth Medispa Can Instantly Treat in Just One Session!
Thread veins, also known as spider veins or telangiectasia, are small, visible blood vessels that often appear on the face, particularly around the nose, cheeks, and chin, as well as on the legs. While harmless, they can cause cosmetic concerns for many people, leading them to seek treatments for clearer, smoother skin.
At The Hogarth Medispa (based inside The Hogarth Club in Chiswick, West London), we combine the latest in beauty treatments with science-backed, results-driven solutions. We are so excited to now offer state-of-the-art BBL HEROic treatments by Sciton – that are designed to target thread veins effectively, offering transformative results. Read on to watch Jayne’s thread-vein treatment results after just ONE session!
In this article, we’ll explore the common causes of thread veins and how advanced treatments, such as BBL (Broad Band Light) HEROic, can help reduce their appearance.
GENETICS
One of the primary causes of thread veins is genetics. If your parents or close relatives have thread veins, you may be more likely to develop them. While lifestyle factors can play a role, genetics often determine how visible these veins become.
AGEING
As we age, the collagen and elastin in our skin naturally break down, which can lead to weakened blood vessels. The walls of the veins become more fragile over time, causing them to expand and become more visible. This explains why thread veins are more common in older individuals.
SUN EXPOSURE
Excessive sun exposure can damage the skin and weaken blood vessels, leading to the formation of thread veins. UV rays break down collagen, the protein that helps maintain skin elasticity and structure, making the small veins underneath more visible.
Protecting your skin with sunscreen and avoiding overexposure to the sun can help prevent the formation of new thread veins. The team at The Hogarth Medispa can advise on the best skincare routine and products for your skin and lifestyle!

HORMONAL CHANGES
Hormonal fluctuations, particularly during pregnancy, menopause, or when taking hormonal medications such as birth control pills, can contribute to the development of thread veins. Changes in hormones can increase blood flow and weaken the walls of blood vessels, making them more prone to becoming visible on the skin’s surface.
LIFESTYLE FACTORS
Certain lifestyle factors can exacerbate the appearance of thread veins. Prolonged periods of standing or sitting, excessive alcohol consumption, and smoking can all put extra pressure on the veins, leading to their enlargement and visibility. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including regular movement and a balanced diet, can reduce the risk of developing thread veins.
ENVIRONMENTAL IRRITANTS
Exposure to environmental factors such as wind, pollution, and extreme temperatures can irritate and damage the skin, contributing to the formation of thread veins. This is particularly true for those with sensitive skin, which is more prone to inflammation and redness.

HOW BBL HEROic WORKS
BBL HEROic, or BroadBand Light, is an advanced light therapy treatment designed to target and eliminate visible blood vessels, such as thread veins, with precision. The technology works by delivering light energy to the skin, which heats the veins and encourages the body to naturally reabsorb them. This results in clearer skin with a more even complexion.
The treatment is not only highly effective but also comfortable and non-invasive, making it an excellent choice for those looking to reduce the appearance of thread veins without downtime.
