Thread veins - facials

[Kelly Daisy]

Hi there, Ive just had a client for a facial and she was a mature lady who had a few thread veins on her cheeks and she asked me if there was anything she could do to reduce them, or to prevent them spreading (other than laser treatment) - and to be honest I wasnt sure, just had a quick search on some past threads, but cant seem to find anything??? can anyone shed any light on this for me????
Thank you

Hi Kelly,sounds like Rosacea to me.A calming product such as Intral by Darphin would be good.They do a balm which is like a wax consistancy as well which is so soothing.

I would recommennd no exfoliating over the area,avoid alcohol and spicy foods plus any heat treatments as this can make it worse.Also avoid any deep massage during her facial and tell her to be careful when carrying out her own homecare routine.All of this I expect you already know being a professional,just thought I would reiterate.

Advanced electrolysis techniques are available to combat this as well.Excellent results when carried out.HTH

As babsann has said, advanced electrolysis techniques can help with thread veins, but i would also like to add my mum suffers with rosacea and doesn't suffer with thread veins so not all cases are the same, your client should get a proper diagnosis before embarking upon a treatment.

As said above she needs to treat her skin as sensitive (fragile) and use SPF 30 daily. Advanced electrolysis would be good but if it is over an extensive area then laser is unfortunately the best way to go-both techniques are quite pricey but she can prevent more by following above guidelines.

A lot of older people get these as and their skin becomes thinner they become more prominant. They are made worse by washing with scrubs, extremes of temerature and sun exposure. She could also take bioflavinoids (after checking with the chemist) as these prevent cellular damage (anti-oxidants), can strengthen capillary walls and also improve the structure of connective tissue thus improving the apperance of the skin.

thanks for your help girls. would you say i still recommend that she have monthly facials, but just avoid exfoliating and massaging the area on her cheeks, or less frequent facials?
thanks

Hi Kelly,there should be no reason why your client has less facials,indeed using the correct products will help sooth the area.HTH
