Get The Clearer Skin You Desire
Broken Capillaries are small blood vessels that appear on the skin’s surface anywhere on the body. They can appear red or purple, and tend to form in clusters.
Not to be confused with varicose veins, broken capillaries or spider veins, because of their web-like appearance, are flat on the skin, not raised.
Luckily, there are ways to reduce the appearance of broken capillaries and get the clear skin you desire, including treatment options that are both efficient and non-invasive.
Effective Broken Capillaries Treatments
Tiny broken capillaries (telangiectasia), also referred to as spider veins are small red to purple dilated blood vessels or broken capillaries, often found on the cheeks, forehead, chin and the nose.
Broken capillaries are typically a symptom of rosacea, chronic sun exposure, inflammation/sensitivity, high blood pressure, or aging, and may also be hereditary in nature.
Broken facial capillaries affect both women and men, and they tend to become more numerous and prominent as we age. Many people find these veins undesirable and unattractive, and seek out our laser treatments as a cosmetic correction.
Our spider vein treatments are a quick and effective way to remove broken capillaries and overall skin redness. Once vessels are treated, they will not return, although it is possible that new vessels may form over time, principally if you are prone to getting them.
Our Broken Capillaries Treatments
Our facial veins treatments are nonsurgical and have little downtime, so you can get back to living your life. We can treat facial spider veins using either sclerotherapy, Excel V or broadband light (BBL) also known as IPL. Our proven procedures have made it possible to remove these broken blood vessels safely without scarring.
Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy effectively treats varicose and spider veins. It involves having an injection that will cause the veins to fade or disappear completely. The sclerosing agent is dextrose and saline. The injectable solution irritates the lining of the vessel, causing it to swell and stick together and the blood to clot. Over a period of a few weeks, the vessels turn into scar tissue and then fade, eventually becoming barely noticeable or invisible however some blood vessels are more resistant, requiring additional treatments.
Excel V
Targeting red, purple and blue facial veins, the medical-grade Excel V laser can treat all of your vascular concerns. The system uses a unique high power green laser that is absorbed by abnormal blood vessels in the skin. This laser heats the abnormal vessels, ultimately restoring normal skin tone and color. In as few as 1 to 3 treatments, unwanted and unsightly vessels and veins are reduced, and symptoms like flushing and blushing are managed.
IPL
A broad spectrum of light is transmitted through a small, smooth, transparent handpiece which is gently placed over the skin. Cut-off filters in the handpiece change the wavelength range allowing it to be customized for different applications and skin types. The laser light penetrates the tissue and is absorbed before the injured tissue is removed by the bodies natural process.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will My Face Veins Disappear on Their Own?
Unfortunately, facial veins and capillaries will not disappear on their own. In fact, you will likely see more veins appear as time goes on. Laser treatment is your best option for eliminating them completely, otherwise you can try camouflaging them with makeup.
How Many Treatments are Needed?
The number of treatments required varies with the size and depth of each vein. For the maximum long-term resolution, multiple treatments may be necessary, with the average person needing 3 to 4 treatments. Most people notice significant improvement after one to three treatments.
Does the Laser Treatment Hurt?
Most people say the laser pulse feels like a small rubber band snapping against your skin. Typically our clients do not require medication or an anesthetic; however some opt to use a topical anesthetic.
