Energy Boosting Injections
As we age, it becomes increasingly difficult for the body to absorb and process the crucial vitamin B12. Not getting enough of this vitamin can lead to a variety of health issues, such as fatigue, anemia, and nerve damage.
Many are susceptible to B12 deficiency, but regular injections can bring immediate health benefits. And by correcting your levels of B12, you can enjoy an optimal performance of the body.

What Is Vitamin B12?
Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is a water-soluble vitamin that plays a crucial role in the production of DNA and red blood cells.
For adults, the recommended daily intake is approximately 2.5 micrograms of vitamin B12.
This vitamin is most commonly found in animal products. Therefore, a B12 deficiency is very common among vegans and vegetarians. Meanwhile, plenty of meat-eaters are also deficient due to their inability to fully absorb B12.
Those who struggle to absorb a sufficient amount of B12, due to dietary restrictions or health problems, turn to natural supplements.
Vitamin B12 injections allow people to receive a dose into the body. This is considered the most effective way to treat a deficiency.
A deficiency in B12 can bring serious health consequences. This vitamin is vital for many body processes. By taking vitamin injections, you can experience several health benefits.

Thread Veins
Thread veins, also known as spider veins or broken capillaries, are tiny, dilated blood vessels that appear just beneath the surface of the skin. They typically appear as red or blue lines on the legs or face, however can appear anywhere on the body. They occur when small veins near the skin’s surface become damaged or dilated, causing them to become visible. The medical term for this condition is “Telangiectasia”.
Thread veins are often referred to as spider veins because of their “spidery”, web-like appearance, with damaged veins resembling a network of fine lines branching from central points on the skin’s surface. Whilst thread veins are completely harmless from a medical perspective, they can be a cosmetic concern for a lot of people, impacting self-esteem and confidence.
At Smoothlines I provide IPL laser therapy, designed to improve the appearance of thread veins and alleviate associated symptoms. This procedure is straightforward and routine, offering individuals the opportunity to easily address their concerns and regain confidence in their skin’s appearance.
What Causes Thread Veins?
There are many causes of thread veins, and in most cases the exact cause remains unknown. However, several factors are commonly associated with the development of thread veins:
- Genetics: Some people may inherit a predisposition to develop thread veins. Genetic factors can influence the strength and integrity of blood vessel walls.
- Age: The ageing process can contribute to the weakening of the skin and blood vessels. As people get older, the skin loses its elasticity, and the veins may become more visible near the surface.
- Hormonal changes: Fluctuations in hormones, such as those occurring during pregnancy, menopause, or as a result of birth control pills, can impact the development of thread veins. Hormonal changes may affect the elasticity of blood vessel walls.
- Trauma or injuries: Injuries or trauma to the skin can damage blood vessels and contribute to the formation of thread veins. This is more common in areas where the skin has been subject to injury or repeated trauma.
- Other factors include sun damage, lifestyle choices (such as smoking or excessive alcohol consumption), and prolonged periods of standing or sitting.
Thread veins can also be caused by varicose veins. Increased pressure in the veins can push pooled blood back into smaller veins, causing them to become damaged and appear through the surface of the skin. The alternative is not true however, and thread veins do not cause or become varicose veins over time.
Thread Vein Symptoms
In most cases, thread veins do not cause any symptoms other than how they impact the appearance of the skin. The majority of people who seek treatment for thread veins are looking to improve their cosmetic appearance and to regain their confidence.
Some people, however, do exhibit certain symptoms and it is recommended to consult with an expert to assess any indicators of underlying venous insufficiency, particularly if thread veins are present on the legs.
Some common symptoms associated with thread veins are as follows:
- Appearance of red or blue veins
- The most noticeable symptom is the appearance of red or blue veins on the skin’s surface. The veins are typically thin and concentrated to areas such as the face or legs.
- Cosmetic concerns
- Many people seek treatment due to cosmetic concerns on the appearance of their skin, which can make people self-conscious and have an impact on their mental health. The desire to improve the overall appearance of the skin and boost self-esteem is a common motivation for seeking cosmetic interventions.
- Mild discomfort
- Some individuals may experience mild discomfort or aching in the affected area. This discomfort is usually not severe and may be more noticeable after prolonged periods of standing or sitting. However, it’s important to distinguish between the mild discomfort associated with thread veins and more significant discomfort related to other serious vascular conditions.
- Itching or burning
- In more severe cases, spider veins may occasionally cause itching or burning sensations, often due to the accumulation of metabolic waste products in the surrounding tissues. If itching or burning is a significant concern, it’s advisable to consult with a healthcare professional to rule out other potential underlying conditions.
IPL therapy, like laser therapy, uses broad-spectrum light to target and remove spider veins. The light is absorbed by the blood vessels, causing them to rupture and eventually disappear. IPL is widely used to treat facial thread veins.

Frequently Asked Questions
Laser hair removal is popular cosmetic procedure which offers a long-lasting solution to unwanted hair, leaving you with smoother skin and less maintenance. In this guide, we’ll explain how laser hair removal works and address common questions to help you make an informed decision about whether this treatment is right for you.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Laser hair removal is a non-invasive procedure that uses concentrated beams of light to target and destroy hair follicles. Here’s how it works:
- Targeting Pigment: The laser device emits a specific wavelength of light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicles.
- Heat Energy: As the melanin absorbs the laser energy, it converts it into heat. This heat damages the hair follicle, inhibiting further hair growth.
- Progressive Reduction: Over multiple sessions, laser hair removal gradually reduces the hair in the treatment area, with the majority of clients experiencing permanent hair reduction.
Remember that the success of laser hair removal depends on a variety of factors, with one of the most significant being the quality of the equipment. That’s why we use the Biocare-lite laser by Skyncare. This medical grade, FDA-approved laser delivers quick and comfortable treatments that are both highly effective and extremely safe.
Common Questions about Laser Hair Removal:
Is Laser Hair Removal Permanent?
Laser hair removal leads to permanent hair reduction for the majority of clients. Once the hair is effectively destroyed, it cannot grow back. However, the body can sometimes produce a few new hairs in the treatment area, which we can then remove in a ‘top-up’ session.
Does Laser Hair Removal Hurt?
For most areas, laser hair removal is extremely comfortable with not much more than a warm tingling sensation on the skin. Areas with higher levels of sensitivity (such as intimate areas) can feel a little more prickly, but not painful. Our medical grade Biocare-lite laser features an advanced cooling system that cools the skin as it treats, significantly increasing comfort.

How Many Sessions Are Needed?
We recommend booking in for at least 6 treatment sessions to see great results. Factors such as the hair colour and the treatment area can mean a couple more sessions are sometimes required for complete reduction.
Treatments are typically spaced anywhere from 4-8 weeks apart depending on the treatment area and regrowth rate.
Are There Any Side Effects?
Temporary side effects like erythema/redness are common but usually subside within a few hours. Any rare side effects will be discussed with you by your therapist during your initial consultation and patch test.
Which Areas Can Be Treated?
Laser hair removal can be performed almost anywhere there is unwanted hair, including the face, legs, arms, bikini line, and more. Simply tell your therapist the areas that you would like treated and they will determine the best treatment plan for your needs.
Can I Get Laser Hair Removal on Tanned Skin?
Laser hair removal is generally less effective on tanned or recently sun-exposed skin, as the laser targets pigment. It’s advisable to avoid sun exposure or tanning beds before treatment for optimal results.
How Long Does Each Laser Session Take?
The duration of each session varies depending on the size of the treatment area. Smaller areas like the upper lip can take just a few minutes, while larger areas like the legs will take longer.
Can Men Get Laser Hair Removal?
Absolutely! Laser hair removal is a popular option for men to address unwanted hair on the back, chest, neck, and other areas.
Will My Hair Grow Back Thicker or Darker After Laser Hair Removal?
No, laser hair removal does not cause hair to grow back thicker or darker. Once the hair is effectively destroyed, it cannot grow back.
How Soon Can I Expect to See Results?
You should notice significant reduction in hair growth after just one session, with further reduction after each session. Full result will require a complete course of treatments.
Can I Shave Between Laser Sessions?
Yes, you can shave between sessions, but avoid plucking or waxing, as these methods remove the hair follicle that the laser targets.
What Precautions Should I Take Before and After Treatment?
Before treatment, avoid sun exposure and follow any pre-care instructions provided by your therapist. Afterward, protect treated areas from sun exposure and follow post-care recommendations.
Can I Get Laser Hair Removal If I’m Pregnant?
Laser hair removal is not recommended during pregnancy due to the potential effects of hormonal changes. It’s best to wait and have more effective course of treatments later on.
How Much Does Laser Hair Removal Cost?
The cost varies based on the treatment area. If you wish to have multiple areas treated, your therapist will be able to put together bespoke package during your consultation.
By understanding how laser hair removal works and having answers to these common questions, you’ll be better equipped to decide if this treatment aligns with your hair removal goals and preferences. Always seek consultation and treatment from a qualified therapist using medical-grade equipment for the safest and most effective results.
