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.
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.
Why is Medik8 Different?
For many years, it has been known that topical vitamin K creams can fade the appearance of thread veins (sometimes called spider veins) and bruises. Just like any 'cosmoceutical' however, there are many factors which differentiate between the good products and the products which appear to be much better than they really are. Speak to your skin care professional or vascular surgeon to find out more about Medik8 and why it is different or simply call us yourselves. Key differences are listed below: |
1. Medik8 is formulated to 8% concentration (the most concentrated competing brand is 5.5%)
2. Vitamin K is available in 3 different forms. The expensive 'K1 Phytonadione' variety is the only isomer proven to fade thread veins and it is the only isomer we incorporate into our formulations. We only use pharmaceutical-grade raw materials.
3. Other natural vasoconstrictors and fat-based antioxidants are included to maximize the performance of the cream formulation
4. Six different essential oils are included to maximize the trans-cutaneous absorption (absorption across the skin barrier) of the formulation meaning your skin receives much more of the active ingredients.
5. Medik8 Serum is packaged in an airless pump system so as to eliminate oxidation of the ingredients before reaching you. Again this maximizes the effectiveness of the cream.
6. Medik8 treatment formulations contain two UV sunscreens to help prevent further sun damage to the skin.
7. Medik8 comes in three varieties to help you economize and best target the affected areas for long term benefit. |
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 in 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%.
NO OTHER TOPICAL THREAD VEIN TREATMENT WORKS FASTER

MEDIC8 Treatment Serum
8% pharmaceutical grade K1 (Phytonadione) is the key active ingredient in the flagship Medik8 Treatment Serum. Vitamin K comes in several varieties but only the costly K1 Phytonadione variety has been shown to fade Thread Veins. Other important ingredients include two fat-based antioxidants to fight local free-radicals plus collagen, silk-pro and elastin. In addition sunscreens are included to help protect your skin from further sun damage. Vacuum bottle stops oxidation of powerful ingredients.
Testimonials
When I read about Medik8 and how effective it could be, I decided it was high time I tried shifting some of those thread veins on my legs, in time for my summer holiday. I must say how surprised I was at how quickly and completely it worked. My husband can’t believe the change in my confidence! - I shall continue to use it for maintenance.
After hurting myself skiing I had a large red scar on my ankle. which wouldn't go away. I heard about Medik8 from a friend and used it for 4 weeks continually, and the scar has totally faded.

Since the birth of my children, I suffered from ugly spider veins down the back of my legs. I went to my doctor to ask about injections. He told me not to do it because it still had a lot of bad side effects and could leave my legs uglier. He said to just leave the spider veins alone. So I tried the Medik8 and was amazed at the results. Within three days I saw it working, and my spider veins cleared up in just four weeks. I wish more doctors knew about this

I was diagnosed with amyloidosis and began taking medications. So far, I feel pretty good except for bright red blotches that have appeared all over my body. I tried expensive over-the-counter as well as prescription creams, but none helped. I was ashamed to go out in public, as people would stare at me and some of my friends would question me about the blotches. Recently I tried Medik8. Within a week the blotches began disappearing and now they are almost gone! I am overjoyed!! It is like a miracle to me, I cannot express how grateful I am!
