From ‘Wimbledon legs’ to ‘boozer’s nose’ – a new thread vein removal clinic is proving to be a hit in Liverpool Dr Newmans Clinic is the UK’s leading thread vein removal specialist with five surgeries across the UK, including London’s Harley Street. Now, Medical Director, Dr Peter Finigan has returned to his hometown to spearhead the launch of a new clinic in Rodney Street, Liverpool, in order to meet growing demand from patients. Thread Veins Thread veins, also known as spider veins, are often wrongly associated with heavy drinking, but can be caused by a number of factors, including too much sun, hormones and pregnancy, a genetic predisposition or an underlying skin condition such as rosacea. Thread veins can appear all over the body, but are most commonly found on the face – particularly around the nose and cheeks – and on the legs. Liverpool Clinic Dr Finigan, who grew up in Liverpool and now lives in Cheshire said: “We have seen more men coming forward to seek treatment on their thread veins in Liverpool – making up more than half of all patients. The treatment has minimal downtime, and usually takes around 20 minutes.”
Dr Finigan worked at the Royal Liverpool University Hospital Trust, in Broadgreen Hospital, before becoming a partner at a medical practice in Cheshire. He is driving the national expansion of Dr Newmans Clinic, which treats more than 1,500 patients a year. He added: “However, we tend to treat more women for thread veins on the legs – which can appear on the upper thighs, calves and ankles.” Treatment The clinic is led by a team of qualified doctors who carry out a full consultation prior to treatment. Using a unique form of “microwave technology” called Thermocoagulation, energy is transferred to the area via an ultra-fine insulated needle, causing the vein to collapse and instantly disappear.
