Home – Vein Problems – Facial Broken Blood Vessels
Facial broken blood vessels are tiny, widened surface veins (often called spider veins or telangiectasia) that appear as thin red, pink, or purple lines on the face. They commonly show up around the nose, cheeks, and chin, and may look like small branches or fine web-like patterns. While usually harmless, they can be a cosmetic concern and sometimes indicate increased sensitivity of the skin’s small blood vessels.
IPL Photorejuvenation treatment enables us to offer you remarkable results on a range of skin concerns such as age spots, rosacea, broken capillaries, sun spots, freckles, and birthmarks.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology gently and effectively eliminates unwanted blood vessels, spots, and discolorations. IPL is not suitable when you have active infections, viral, fungal or bacterial diseases, inflammatory skin conditions or skin cancer. Risks may include: redness, swelling and change of pigmentation. Be sure to consult with your treatment provider before choosing this treatment.
To ensure utmost comfort, we will apply cold cooling gel on the treatment area. Depending on your specific concern, you can expect the session to last 15-30 minutes. You may experience a warm sensation as the light is applied to the skin, but the treatment is gentle and should not feel uncomfortable.
IPL Photorejuvenation treatment works with your skin to remove your imperfections and stimulate collagen and elastic fiber production over a sequence of treatments. Some skin concerns such as shallow pigmentation and age/sun spots may be cleared with as few as 1-2 treatments. Typically 2-6 sessions with 2-4 weeks in between are needed to achieve optimal results for most skin concerns.
Immediately following treatment, you may experience some redness, depending on your customized treatment settings. The redness will usually disappear within a few hours. In most cases, makeup may be immediately applied, and daily activities can be resumed the very same day. You will need to stay out of direct sun for a few days following the treatment and to apply sun screen.
