Thread Veins and VEINO 980 nm Diode Laser Treatment
Thread veins are small, superficial dilated blood vessels visible beneath the skin. Factors associated with their appearance include hereditary predisposition, smoking, prolonged standing and heat. VEINO 980 nm diode laser treatment is used to target selected visible vessels.
The VEINO 980 nm vascular diode laser is used to target selected thread veins while limiting the effect on surrounding tissue.
How Laser Treatment for Thread Veins Is Performed
The procedure is generally brief and usually does not require anaesthesia. Temporary discomfort may occur and varies from person to person.
The doctor discusses options for managing any discomfort. During treatment, protective eyewear is used. A brief sensation of warmth or burning may be felt as the laser pulses are absorbed by the targeted vessels. Treatment may take from a few minutes to approximately half an hour, depending on the size of the area.

What Is the VEINO 980 nm Vascular Diode Laser?
The VEINO 980 nm vascular diode laser emits light that is absorbed by haemoglobin. It allows the doctor to target visible vessels, broken capillaries, thread veins and selected vascular skin concerns.
Treatment parameters are adjusted according to the skin and the condition of the vessels being treated.
Treatment parameters are adjusted according to the skin and the condition of the vessels being treated.
How Does VEINO 980 nm Laser Treatment Work?
Light emitted by the laser is absorbed by blood in the targeted vessel and converted into heat. This causes coagulation within the vessel, after which the body gradually processes the treated vessel.
Which Concerns May Be Treated?
The source content refers to:
- Rosacea-related visible vessels.
- Fine capillaries on the face and body.
- Thread veins.
- Broken capillaries.
What to Expect After Treatment
Temporary vessel discolouration, bruising, redness, swelling or sensitivity may occur. These effects commonly settle over the following days.
Plastic surgeon Dr Andreas Moutsoudis explains expected temporary skin changes and the appropriate aftercare.
The treated skin should be protected from ultraviolet light. The source content advises covering the area and using sunscreen with at least SPF 30 when outdoors.
Some vessels may respond promptly, while others become less visible gradually over several weeks. The source content describes an indicative course of 3–4 sessions at intervals of 4–5 weeks, adjusted to the individual case.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are thread veins?
Thread veins are small, dilated capillaries visible close to the skin surface, often appearing red or purple.
Which factors are associated with thread veins?
The source content refers to smoking, obesity, prolonged standing, heat and hereditary factors that affect blood circulation.
What is the VEINO 980 nm vascular diode laser?
It is a specialised laser used to target selected thread veins and broken capillaries through light absorbed by haemoglobin.
How is laser treatment performed?
The procedure may take from a few minutes to approximately half an hour. Laser energy is absorbed by blood in the selected vessel and converted into heat.
Is recovery time required?
Temporary bruising, redness or sensitivity may occur and commonly settles within 2–3 days. Sunscreen and avoidance of direct sun exposure are advised.
How many sessions may be needed?
The source content describes 3–4 sessions at intervals of 4–5 weeks, adjusted to the extent and depth of the vessels.
What may be felt during treatment?
A brief sensation of warmth or mild burning may be felt during application. Individual sensitivity varies.
When may changes become visible?
Some vessels may respond promptly, while others become less visible gradually over the following weeks.
May treatment be considered for different skin types?
The source content refers to use with different skin colours, with parameters adjusted according to the skin and the vessels being treated.
How is treatment planned?
Treatment is performed using specialised medical equipment, with the area, parameters and aftercare determined following assessment.
