Broken Capillaries, Angioma and Redness

Broken capillaries, also known as spider veins or telangiectasia, are small, dilated blood vessels that appear near the surface of the skin. These vessels often form web-like patterns and are commonly found on the face around the nose, cheeks, and chin. They can be caused by various factors, including genetics, sun exposure, ageing, rosacea, and minor injuries. While generally harmless, broken capillaries can be a cosmetic concern for many individuals.

At O’Skin Medical, we offer advanced treatment options for broken capillaries using vascular laser technology. Our treatments are designed to selectively target and reduce the appearance of these vessels.

Treatment Options

Angiomas

Vascular lasers are highly effective in treating angiomas, which are small, benign growths made up of blood vessels. These often appear as red or purple spots on the skin. Our advanced laser systems can precisely target and reduce the appearance of angiomas.

Broken Capillaries

Broken capillaries cause unwanted redness or visible lines on the face. Vascular lasers like the VBeam and Nordlys Nd:YAG laser specifically target the red pigment in the dilated blood vessels, causing them
to constrict and fade over a series of laser sessions. This treatment is non-invasive and can help manage the condition.

Redness

Persistent facial redness can be targeted with vascular lasers. This can help reduce diffuse redness over several laser treatments, by specifically targeting blood vessels in the skin. Laser is then required to maintain the improvement over time.

How it Works

1.

Initial Consultation

Before proceeding with any treatment, you will have an initial consultation with one of our experienced practitioners. During this session, we will assess your skin and discuss your concerns, medical history, and treatment goals. This ensures we recommend the most suitable approach for your needs. We will also explain the treatment process, expected outcomes, and any potential risks or side effects.

2.

Treatment

Our vascular laser treatments utilise cutting-edge technology:

  • VBeam: A pulsed dye laser which is gold standard for treating
  • Nordlys: This laser emits infrared light and is effective for treating deeper or more prominent blood vessels, angiomas, and other vascular concerns.

The procedure is non-invasive, with most sessions lasting 15-30 minutes. Depending on the severity of the concern, multiple sessions may be required to achieve optimal results. During the treatment, your skin may feel hot, but most patients find this tolerable.

3.

Aftercare

Following the treatment, it is essential to care for your skin to ensure the best results:

  1. Sun Protection: Apply a high-SPF sunscreen daily to protect your skin from further sun damage and prevent the formation of new broken capillaries.
  2. Gentle Skincare: Avoid harsh skincare products or exfoliants for a few days post-treatment to allow your skin to heal.
  3. Healing Time: Some redness or mild swelling may occur after the procedure, but this typically subsides within a few hours to days. The treated veins may appear bruised but will then fade over several weeks.
  4. Follow-Up: Attend any recommended follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and determine if additional sessions are needed.

At O’Skin Medical, we are committed to helping you achieve healthy, clear, and radiant skin. Schedule your consultation today to take the first step toward addressing broken capillaries and other vascular concerns.
