UAE Hospital Offering New Spider Veins Treatment

Healthpoint, a Mubadala Health partner, is offering the ‘Veingogh’ vein treatment for spider veins in the UAE. The latest innovative technology is exclusively available to Healthpoint patients to access.

The treatment enables the removal of small spider veins and networks of veins called telangiectasia - which are often less than one millimeter in diameter but highly recognizable due to their bright blue or red appearance.

The treatment uses a process called ohmic thermolysis, where a current of electricity is delivered directly into the vein that results in bursts of heat, collapsing the vessel wall, which is quickly absorbed into the body and the ‘blemish’ disappears immediately.

The ‘Veingogh’ vein treatment is considered faster and more reliable than other treatments, with minimal discomfort or marking, as it often feels like little pin pricks.

It takes four to six weeks to heal and the process involves applying specific creams for a few weeks until the healing process is complete.

The treatment is open to both men and women from different age groups.

On the other hand, procedure is not suitable for pregnant women, anyone fitted with a pacemaker, patients with a history of seizures, or anyone displaying an open wound or showing signs of an infection.
