Thread vein treatments in Daily Mail - Mark Whiteley featured by Sarah Vine

In today's Daily Mail (15th of May 2014), top beauty journalist Sarah Vine has written an article entitled "How to get rid of those pesky little thread veins". http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2628556/Sarah-Vine-Beauty-Sleuth-How-rid-pesky-little-thread-veins.html

In the article, Sarah quotes Prof Mark Whiteley as "the best person, in my personal experience".

Leg thread veins are much harder to treat them was originally thought and proper treatment entails duplex ultrasound scan of the underlying veins to find out if there is a cause that needs to be addressed before the thread veins are treated.

Almost 9/10 people with thread veins have an underlying cause - usually "hidden varicose veins". Failure to identify these with duplex ultrasound scan and treating them with one of the new local anaesthetic pinhole vein techniques often leads to failure of the thread vein treatment - wasting time and money and sometimes causing permanent damage to the skin.

The Times - Magazine Article

Mark Whiteley was quoted in The Times Magazine today - 15th Jan 2010.

In an article by Sarah Vine called "Purple vein, purple veins" (page 51, The Times Magazine) Mark Whiteley explained the difference between "Thread Veins" of the face - and those of the legs which need far more in-depth understanding to treat successfully.

Thread veins on the face can be very successfully treated by several methods, available at Absolute Aesthetics (www.AbsoluteAesthetics.co.uk).

Leg thread veins however need a specialist Duplex Ultrasound Scan to find out what the underlying cause is and to make sure the correct treatment is planned - which is often to hidden varicose veins deep inside the leg and unseen under the leg thread veins. The Whiteley Clinic in Harley Street and Guildford specialises in these scans and treaments (www.thewhiteleyclinic.co.uk)
