Red Vein Treatment

Suitable for treating small areas on the face with broken capillaries, spider veins, telangiectasia, on the nose, cheeks, and chin.

Effectively diminish visible vessels and capillaries on the face. Several treatments are required to achieve optimum results, depending on the severity of vessels.

The Causes of Broken Capillaries

Broken capillaries have several causes which includes environmental, sun exposure, genetic factors, skin type, rosacea, medications, alcohol use, temperatures, some skin care and even natural ageing.

Broken capillaries occur when the walls that carry the blood to the skin weaken, dilate and become more visible against the surface of the skin.

Treatments for Broken Capillaries

A combined treatment for broken capillaries is laser treatment and thermolysis using heat. During treatment, light pulses and heat impede blood flow and eventually destroys them. After several treatments they collapse away from the surface of the skin. This even improves skin tone.

What to expect after treatment

Skin will be red at the treated site, some swelling and warm to touch like a mild sunburn. It is recommended to keep the area clean and cool for the next 24-48 hours. Mild scabbing will occur and will take up to 5 to 10 days to resolve. Do not pick the skin during this healing stage. Post Balm is recommended to protect the skin.
