Thread Veins & Pigmentation
Thread veins, also known as spider veins or telangiectasia, are small, dilated blood vessels that appear near the surface of the skin, often resembling fine red or purple lines. They commonly occur on the face, particularly around the nose, cheeks, and chin, as well as on the legs.
Pigmentation concerns, on the other hand, refer to changes in skin coloration, such as dark spots or patches (hyperpigmentation). Pigmentation issues can manifest in various forms, including freckles, age spots, melasma, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (commonly seen in combination with acne scars).
Common causes of thread veins and pigmentation
Thread veins, or spider veins, often result from weakened or damaged blood vessels near the skin’s surface. Factors like genetics, sun exposure, ageing, hormonal changes, and prolonged standing can contribute to their development. Thread veins can also appear as an associated symptom of rosacea when skin inflammation causes weak blood vessels to dilate and burst.
Pigmentation concerns, such as dark spots or patches, can be caused by an overproduction or irregular distribution of melanin in the skin. Common triggers include sun exposure, hormonal fluctuations (like pregnancy or birth control), inflammation, skin injuries, and certain medications.
Treatment options for thread veins and pigmentation
Understanding the underlying causes of thread veins and pigmentation is crucial for effective management and treatment.
Refresh Medispa can provide a safe and effective solution to help reduce the appearance of thread veins and pigmentation. Laser therapy targets thread veins by emitting precise wavelengths of light to coagulate and eliminate the affected blood vessels, gradually reducing their appearance. Additionally, laser treatments can target pigmentation concerns by breaking down excess melanin in the skin, leading to a more uniform complexion. Chemical peels exfoliate the skin’s surface, reducing pigmentation and promoting cell turnover for a brighter appearance. These treatments work synergistically to improve skin tone, texture, and overall radiance, restoring confidence in one’s complexion.

The initial consultation was very informative and confirmed my understanding of acne which I have had since the start of puberty. Having lived with it for years now, I finally decided to deal with it. I have been having a hydrafacial with LED and can already see the difference.
I have been to a number of clinics previously to improve my skin and have always been disappointed. At Refresh Medispa, things could not be more different. I felt this was a proper medical skin clinic. Initially I received an in depth skin analysis and then my aesthetician recommended a full skin regime with regular reviews. I have been following this religiously and am astounded as to how good my skin looks.
Fantastic results in a beautiful setting. The team know what they are talking about and are confidently happy to recommend what does and doesn’t work. Thank you Refresh Medispa.
Refresh Medispa were brilliant. As someone who is needle phobic, I was very apprehensive about having my wrinkles treated. My nurse exuded professionalism and her manner put me completely at ease. I love my results and she was really knowledgeable about skincare too.
I have always been cautious about having cosmetic surgery but my flappy skin on my arms was getting me down. When I saw Mr Fazel, I really felt he spent time explaining all my options to me. Eventually I decided to have Bodytite to my arms. I am so pleased with the results; my arms are tighter with a better profile … and I don’t have the long scar from an arm lift.
I have been having fillers with Mr Fazel for many years. He is always calm, honest and attentive. If you’re looking for a subtle elegant look, he’s the best.
I recently completed my course of Emsculpt Neo for my abdominal muscles and was very impressed with the expertise and care from everyone I saw at Refresh Medispa, from Mr Fazel initially, his therapists and his secretary. The treatment was comfortable and I can already see that my muscle tone has improved. The Medispa is also a lovely place to have treatments; it feels more like a spa than a clinic.
Mr Fazel is a genius. I am 6 weeks post a Facetite procedure and already I can see my jowls tighten and disappear. I have had facelift consultations with other surgeons over the years but left feeling like I couldn't proceed. Mr Fazel was completely different. He is great listener and as a result my expectations from the Facetite have been totally exceeded. He took time to find out about me and my requirements and explained all my options carefully to me.
The staff here are very knowledgeable and not pushy. I had a lovely experience with a hydrafacial and skin boosters at Refresh Medispa so much so that I’ve booked a package every month.
I was recommended to undergo Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy to help with my healing. Not only did my wounds heal much faster than I anticipated, I also felt much less tired and much more clear headed. I feel it has really revitalized me.
I have dark skin and have always previously worried about laser hair removal but I had an amazing experience at Refresh Medispa. This place really feels and smells like a spa! The staff are so lovely and the whole experience from the complementary herbals teas to the painless laser hair removal was a breeze. I will definitely be back.
I love my lips … just right .. not too little and not too much. Just perfect
Mid Forties, overweight, much needed liposuction. Having been active in my early years, time has caught up with my body and I cannot sustain my shape. Try as I might, the belly would not go. I tried all conventional methods and then came across this procedure. I honestly have not looked back since.
The results are great and my expectations have been exceeded.
Honest and skilled surgeon.
I’m in my 20s and lead an active lifestyle but have always struggled to get rid of my pouch. Mr Fazel was recommended by a friend. He spent lots of time explaining the pros and cons of liposuction and was very honest. I am so pleased with the results.
He is a great surgeon.
Liposuction with fat transfer to my breasts.
Mr Fazel is a genius. I got rid of my excess flank fat and now have larger breasts! Mr Fazel’s approach is kind, quietly confident, caring and very skillful.
Symmetrical breasts using my own fat I had always been unhappy about my asymmetrical breasts. I couldn’t have anything done
through the NHS. I didn’t want implants so I was very happy when Mr Fazel said he could do lipomodelling for me to my breasts. I had to have 3 rounds of fat grafting (I had pretty bad asymmetry) but now 18 months later I can honestly say that my breasts feel just right for
me. Mr Fazel is just great!
Thank you to a wonderful surgeon.
I always disliked my scar from my C-section. I have just finished my course of treatments (Skinpen microneedling) at Refresh Medispa and am very pleased with the results and the care I received. An exceptional team and a lovely facility.
The process leading up to my Morpheus8 treatment was brilliant. I was made to feel very welcome and comfortable and I didn’t feel at all like I was asking too many silly questions. I had the procedure 3 times as recommended for my face and neck and I am extremely happy with the results. Best decision! The after care has also been great with the team checking in on me regularly.
I always feel safe with Mr Fazel. He used his ultrasound scanner to check for blood vessels and does a beautiful job with my nose.
