Haroun Gajraj: Understanding the Technology Behind Spider Vein Treatment
Haroun Gajraj, Phlebologist and Board Member of the British Association of Sclerotherapists, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Radiofrequency Thermocoagulation of Spider Veins
The device market for radiofrequency thermocoagulation of spider veins is confusing: competing names and terminology.
ThermaVein. VeinGogh. Veinwave. Viridex. Epil 100. Ohmic Thermolysis.
Shortwave Diathermy. Advanced Radiofrequency.
After spending over 20 hours researching the physics and specifications behind these devices, I have published a full evidence review on VeinCare Academy today.
The article and companion video cover:
- The physical principle that governs energy delivery in every micro-needle thermocoagulation device
- Clear definitions of the terminology used across this device category
- Why 4 MHz has become the de-facto standard frequency for treating leg and facial telangiectasias
- A side-by-side comparison of the main UK devices by their verified operating specifications
- What a randomised trial suggests about combining thermocoagulation with Microsclerotherapy
One finding that may surprise you: most devices currently used in UK clinics operate at the same frequency.
The differences that matter are build quality, pulse control, and the training available.”
