What is thread vein removal treatment?
Thread vein removal treatment can come in one of three forms:
1. Intense Pulsed Light Procedure- laser is directed at the veins causing them to heat up quickly, leading to the vein breaking down before gradually dissolving, and being removed through the body’s natural immune system, leaving your skin smooth and clear.
2. Sclerotherapy- where a medical practitioner injects medicine into blood vessels or lymph vessels that causes them to shrink. It is commonly used to treat varicose veins or thread veins, and again, is sold to clients as a non-invasive, non-surgical procedure, as sclerotherapy treatment requires only an injection into the targeted area of the body.
3. Micro-Thermocoagulation or Veinwave treatment- the final method is thread, or spider vein removal, is called Micro-Thermocoagulation or Veinwave treatment. Veinwave targets smaller veins that are not treatable with scelerotherapy and can be used safely on the face. Veinwave works by a process called thermocoagulation, which is where energy created by a high frequency current produces a thermal lesion, destroying the vein while preserving the skin.
What can go wrong with thread vein removal treatment?
Whilst sold as a safe, non-invasive treatment, thread vein removal can go wrong, and can cause injury to patients. The most common cause of botched thread vein removal treatment is the Intense Pulsed Light treatment type. During Intense Pulsed Light (IPL treatment) the laser heats up the targeted area, causing damage to the cells in the thread veins and resulting in a reduction in its visible appearance. If the technician leaves the laser on the skin for a fraction too long, the procedure can cause a number of injuries. These include:
Blisters from botched thread vein removal treatment
Burns from thread vein removal treatment gone wrong
Scars caused by botched thread vein removal treatment
Changes to skin pigmentation, including hyperpigmentation, caused by thread vein removal treatment gone wrong
Swelling from botched thread vein removal treatment
These are some of the most common injuries caused by botched thread vein removal treatment, but there are many others. If you have suffered injuries of any kind during a thread vein removal treatment gone wrong, then get in touch with MG Legal's specialist thread vein removal medical negligence solicitors, today, for a no-obligation discussion of your potential case.

How do I prove a botched thread vein removal negligence claim?
As with all medical negligence claims, the key to filing a successful thread vein removal gone wrong injury claim can be broken down into two key steps.
1. Proving that the medical profession acted negligence in the treatment- the first key step is proving that their was negligence on behalf of a medical professional involved in the treatment. Whether this was failing to obtain a consent form, using un-sanitised equipment, or not providing adequate aftercare, if a medical professional has acted with negligence you could be entitled to make a claim for financial compensation.
2. Proving that this negligence directly caused you injury- after establishing that the medical professional acted negligently, the second part of the claims process is proving that this negligence led to injury or illness, such as blisters, burns, or any of the other injuries we have listed above. As part of this process, MG Legal work with leading medical professionals to obtain strong medical reports for our clients.
Botched Thread Vein Removal Claim- A Case Study:
MG Legal’s personal injury solicitors have recently settled a claim for a client who was injured whilst having sclerotherapy thread vein removal treatment. The client, Mrs S, was having sclerotherapy treatment for thread veins on her lower legs. The first mistake the technician made was to not carry out any test patch test, falsely believing that as our client had other treatments at the salon previously, that no patch test was required for any new treatment she was to undergo.
The treatment took place during a supervised training session and the practitoners were involved in a workshop in which students were providing treatments to paying clients, supervised by their tutor. As a result of no patch test being carried out, in order to find if the treatment was suitable for our client, our client reacted badly to the sclerotherapy treatment, and after 5 days she started to feel itchy in the treated areas, noting a blister where the adjacent skin had become red and inflamed. Mrs S contacted MG Legal, and our personal injury solicitors instructed a consultant plastic surgeon to assess our client, and prepare a fully court compliant medical report.
As the technician did not carry out a patch test, or a full lower limbs deep vein system, the assessment prior to undergoing the index treatment was deemed to be negligent. MG Legal’s specialist solicitors also noted that a Duplex Doppler ultrasound investigation in addition to an assessment by a specialist vascular surgeon should have been carried out prior to the technician carrying out the thread vein removal treatment on our injured client.
MG Legal’s personal injury experts won an award of £5,000 for our client, for her personal injury alone, with another £2,000 to pay for the camouflage treatment required to hide the small scars that remained as a result of the botched thread vein removal treatment.

How long have I got to make an injury compensation claim for negligent thread vein removal?
Subject to the Limitation Act 1980, if you have been injured as a result of medical procdure, such as thread vein removal, you have three years from the date of injury, or the date you know about the injury, to pursue a claim for personal injury. So, if you suffer a facial burn injury at the time of having thread vein removal treatment, then the three years within which to bring your personal injury claim, would start on the same day you have your appointment, and suffered the facial burns.
If everything appears to have gone well to start with, and then you later find out about the injury or negligence, your three years starts from the day you find out this information.
There are exceptions, for those under 18 years old at time of the injury, in that minors have three years from their 18th birthday within which to make a personal injury claim. If you have any questions or queries, then please do not hesitate to contact one of MG Legal’s medical negligence experts, for a friendly, informative, no obligation chat.

How much personal injury compensation will I receive for my thread vein removal gone wrong negligence claim?
As with every personal injury claim, the amount of compensation you will receive for your negligent thread vein removal treatment, depends on a number of different factors. When liability is admitted and we have all of the medical evidence, be it from a plastic surgeon, or maxilla-facial expert, we will be in a position to value your personal injury compensation award fully.
Still, all personal injury solicitors, are guided in relation to any personal injury settlement by the 15th Edition of the Judicial Studies Board Guidelines, and some of the compensation awards outlined by these guidelines are given below:
|
Injury type: |
Expected financial compensation: |
|
Very severe facial scarring- in those who are relatively young, these being from teenagers to those in their early 30s, and the cosmetic effect of the botched thread vein removal to their face is very disfiguring, and the psychological effects are severe enough to affect confidence. |
£27,940 and £91,350 |
|
Less Severe Facial Scarring- where the facial scarring after negligent thread vein removal treatment is substantial, and the injured person is still suffering significant psychological distress as a result of the treatment. |
£16,860 and £45,440 |
|
Significant Scarring- the effects of negligent thread vein removal has been reduced by plastic surgery, or camouflage treatment, but there remains some cosmetic change, and there has been a reduction in the psychological injury sustained. Significant scarring will still be visible at a conversational distance, so for example, when in meetings, in a bar, or around a coffee table. |
£8,550 and £28,240 |
