Laser thread vein removal uses laser light to fade small, widened blood vessels close to the skin surface, most frequently on the face or legs.

Thread veins are small, widened blood vessels close to the skin surface, common on the face and legs and generally harmless, and they differ from varicose veins, which are larger, bulging veins with different treatments.

In Chennai, the price of laser thread vein removal is generally built from these parts:

• Course length: how many sessions are planned.
• Machine used: the laser or light device.
• GST: which can apply to cosmetic skin treatment.
• Area: face or legs.
• Laser: pulsed dye or Nd:YAG.
• Sessions: frequently several.
• Aftercare: skin care and sunscreen.

Laser thread vein treatment is generally priced per session, so a Chennai costing close to the upper figure above would be unusual; ask how many sessions are included.
