Capillary & Thread Vein Removal
Professional Treatment for Broken Capillaries & Facial Redness
Noticing small red lines on your cheeks, nose or chest?
These are commonly known as capillaries or thread veins; tiny superficial blood vessels that have become dilated or damaged, creating visible redness beneath the skin.
While harmless, they can be cosmetically frustrating and difficult to conceal with makeup.
At Skin Spa, we offer fast, affordable and effective thread vein removal using advanced diathermy technology.
What Are Thread Veins?
Thread veins are tiny blood vessels that have expanded or ruptured just beneath the skin’s surface, creating visible red or purple lines.
They commonly appear on:
- Nose
- Cheeks
- Chin
- Chest
And once they appear, they rarely fade on their own.

Why They Appear
Broken capillaries are commonly caused by:
- Sun damage
- Genetics
- Rosacea or chronic redness
- Harsh skincare or over-exfoliation
- Temperature extremes
- Skin trauma or pressure
Over time, they can become more noticeable, especially on fair or thinning skin.
How Does Capillary Removal Work?
Skin Spa uses a diathermy system, a safe and precise treatment that delivers a tiny pulse of heat to the affected capillary.
This heat:
- Seals the broken vessel
- Causes it to collapse
- Allows the body to naturally reabsorb it
- Reduces visible redness almost immediately
The procedure is quick and highly targeted, making it one of the most effective treatments for facial thread veins.
What to Expect During Treatment
Most appointments take only minutes, depending on the number of capillaries treated.
After treatment:
- Small surface scabs may form
- Mild redness can occur
- Treated vessels darken before fading
- Scabs should be left to fall off naturally
Healing is generally fast, and many clients see significant improvement after just one session.
Treatment Time & Cost
Appointments typically take just minutes. Allow approximately $70 per treatment, depending on the number of capillaries treated. Compared to laser, this is a fast and cost-effective solution for small facial thread veins.

More Treatment Options
Skin Tag Removal
Skin Tag removal is also performed using the same method, but employing a slightly different technique. Skin tags can be caused by a variety of factors including insulin resistance, pregnancy, obesity and just simply age et al. There absolute cause is not known but indications suggest they can be lifestyle or genetic related causes, or both. We recommend that Skin tags are addressed quickly as they can increase in size and number rapidly. Basically they are skin growths that are attached to the body with a root or stalk like joint. This is the area we target using diathermy current and a particular method to cut off the skin tags nutrient or growth supply. After treatment and several days later, the skin tag will fall off in most cases without you even noticing. Allow $60-70 per treatment as a guide.
Angioma or Cherry Spot Removal
Angioma (Cherry Spot Removal) is performed and treated as quickly as shown in the video. They are gone in just seconds using our Clinical Diathermy method. As we cauterise the angioma with a little heat and current, a slight pinch is sometimes felt. Slight scabbing of the treated area can be expected. Feel free to buy numbing cream from your pharmacist to assist with your comfort. It is inexpensive and it is recommended to apply it on and around the angioma 45 minutes prior to treatment. There are several brands to consider and we suggest you seek guidance from your local Ashgrove pharmacist / chemist. Allow $55-75 per treatment as a guide.
Milia Removal
Has to be done with a cleanse & prep book this treatment witth our team today.
Milia removal can be performed using the same method. Milia are those white, round or oval raised lumps you will see near cheek bones, eyes and the jaw line. Sometimes they can be referred to as “Milk spots.” Milia are often caused by a build up of keratin and dead skin cells that are trapped below the skin. Their exact cause can be partially put down to lack of skin exfoliation and cleansing, which by its very nature will liberate those dead skin cells, preventing them from being trapped below the skins surface. Some other information sources suggest that milia are possibly health related by cause.
Milia can be stubborn to remove and meddling or squeezing them will break them into smaller, harder to remove pieces and scarring can possibly result should you attempt to remove them yourself.
We have developed a technique to dissolve the deposit using a micro-fine, sterile needle and current; and a method to remove its contents sideways, reducing the likelihood of scarring. This is critical as they are often found near very sensitive tissue and skin. Small to tiny scabs may appear which will typically fall off naturally. Skin Spa may use a variety of methods that vary in price, for your particular case.
