Medik8 Maintenance and Prevention Spray

"Prevention is always better than cure". Maintain your results and help your skin to fend off new troublesome and unsightly Thread Veins by treating it to daily vitamin K supplementation. It couldn't be easier than using the handy wide-angled spray applicator to cover the target areas in a flash.

Thread Veins

Millions of women are bothered by Thread Veins - those small yet unsightly clusters of red, blue or purple veins that most commonly appear on the cheeks, thighs, calves and ankles and the backs of knees. In fact, it's estimated that at least half of the adult female population is plagued with this

common cosmetic problem - forcing them to hide their legs behind trousers in the summer or under the duvet when laying around in the bedroom.

How does Medik8 fade thread veins and bruises ?

Vitamin K is an essential blood clotting factor. Without vitamin K in our bloodstreams, body injuries would never heal. We get all our vitamin K from foodstuffs such as spinach and tomatoes. When tiny blood vessels near the surface of the skin get damaged - a small tear can develop which leaks blood.

The blood runs down the outside of the vessels rather like a drop of water running down the side of a pencil. That's how you can see the "Thread Vein". Vitamin K can be applied topically to help the torn vessel heal fast. The body then dissolves the remaining leaked blood naturally - fading the appearance of Thread Veins and bruises which result from muscle fibre tears.

How quick can it work for you?

It is impossible for anyone to predict how long vitamin K treatment will take to fade existing thread veins. Anecdotal evidence shows that most people will need to use the Serum formula for between 2 to 4 months before full fading is observed. Many users report substantial improvements in as little as 6 weeks - while still others have reported results after 6 months of application. Using the Serum formula on bruises will help to speed up healing times by on average 400%.
