AESTHETIC SKIN TREATMENTS
Leg Vein Removal Treatment
Tired of visible veins on your legs?
Spider veins and thread veins on the legs are a common cosmetic concern, especially in women. Whether caused by genetics, hormones, lifestyle or ageing, they can make you feel self-conscious about showing your legs.
At MAK Clinic Knutsford, we offer non-surgical leg vein removal using a combination of sclerotherapy and AFT pulsed light therapy, tailored to the type and severity of the veins you’re dealing with. Treatments are carried out by experienced Nurse Prescriber Practitioners for maximum comfort and clinical safety.ics clinic setting.
How We Treat Leg Veins at MAK Clinic
We take a two-pronged approach to leg vein removal, depending on the type of vein and its depth beneath the skin:
1. Sclerotherapy
A well-established injectable treatment that involves introducing a solution directly into larger or deeper veins. The solution causes the vein to collapse and fade over time.
Ideal for deeper blue or reticular veins
Minimal discomfort
No scarring
Walk-in, walk-out procedure
2. AFT Pulsed Light Therapy
Advanced Fluorescence Technology (AFT) is used for more superficial red or thread veins. The light energy coagulates the blood inside the vessel, causing it to collapse and be naturally absorbed.
Excellent for spider veins
Fast treatment with no injections
Can target multiple areas quickly
Your treatment process:
Assessment & mapping of vein types and skin tone
Treatment plan combining sclerotherapy and/or AFT
Course of sessions (typically 2–4)
Aftercare guidance to enhance results and minimise recurrence
A bespoke, dual approach for visible vein reduction
