Treatments for Broken Capillaries and Blood Vessels

The appearance of spider veins is something many people develop as they grow older, especially on the legs and face. Also referred to as broken capillaries, broken blood vessels and telangiectasia, this condition involves broken blood vessels near the surface of the skin. 

Generally, these red, blue or purple marks are benign, but when they appear somewhere as obvious as your face, they can greatly affect your self-confidence. At Berman Skin Institute, we want to help you address these concerns and feel more comfortable with smoother, younger-looking skin.

Our Treatment Options

Broken capillaries on the face can come from a range of causes, including sun damage, hormonal changes, trauma and genetics. Whatever the cause, our exceptional solutions can address them without surgery. Look forward to a personalized treatment plan that delivers minimally invasive care when you choose any option from Berman Skin Institute.

IPL PhotoFacial

One of our favorite treatments for broken blood vessels on the face is the intense pulsed light (IPL) PhotoFacial. Using the minimally invasive PhotoFacial device, this process targets layers of skin deep in the dermis and delivers concentrated pulses of light, which stimulate collagen and elastin growth. 

Over the following days, new collagen fibers will form and naturally eliminate imperfections. The entire process is fast and most participants feel little to no discomfort, thanks to the cooling sapphire application tip.

VBeam® Pulsed Dye Laser

Another option to consider is VBeam®, a pulsed dye laser designed to specifically target uneven skin tone caused by spider veins, rosacea and similar conditions. This specific beam is designed to target hemoglobin in blood — the part of the cells that causes the red color. The laser prompts the affected vessels to break down, allowing your body to process and eliminate them from your system. The result is a smoother appearance free of discoloration.
