Short Wave Diathermy Treatment in Surrey

Our clinic in Weybridge offers bespoke Short Wave Diathermy treatment that provides an effective means of targeting and eliminating spider veins and thread veins on the face.

Short Wave Diathermy Treatment

At Light Touch Clinic in Surrey, we offer Short Wave Diathermy treatment for the removal of thread veins and spider veins (also known as telangiectasia) on the face. Short Wave Diathermy, also known as electro-coagulation or electro cautery, eliminates vascular anomalies on the surface of the skin through a process called electrolysis.

Short Wave Diathermy is a fast and effective process that uses heat to “seal” the thread veins. After a short amount of time, usually a few weeks, the vein will shrink and disappear naturally, leaving clearer and smoother skin.

Short Wave Diathermy Treatment Surrey

The Benefits

Our Short Wave Diathermy treatment offers excellent facial thread vein removal results, with treatment generally complete within 30 minutes. Treatment involves the application of a diathermy current just below the surface of the skin via a tiny needle.

Our experts precisely target the thread veins being treated and apply the required amount of current to remove them. After treatment is complete you will begin to notice the veins fading over time, with them completely disappearing in 4-6 weeks.

About Short Wave Diathermy

How Short Wave Diathermy Works

Short Wave Diathermy uses heat generated by electrolysis to “seal” thread veins – this stops blood flow to the target veins. The sealed veins begin to fade immediately after treatment and continue to shrink for 4-6 weeks after the treatment, until eventually, they disappear.
