Visible blood vessels on the face and body—commonly known as broken capillaries, spider veins, or telangiectasia—are a very common skin concern. They often appear as fine red, purple, or blue lines just beneath the skin’s surface. While they are not harmful, they can make the skin look uneven or flushed, and many people feel self-conscious about them.
The good news? Modern vascular laser treatments can effectively reduce or eliminate these visible vessels, restoring a clearer and more even complexion.
What Causes Broken Capillaries & Telangiectasia?
There are several reasons why these tiny vessels can become more visible:
• Sun exposure – UV damage weakens blood vessels and the surrounding skin.
• Genetics – some people are simply more prone to developing them.
• Rosacea – often associated with flushing and dilated facial capillaries.
• Lifestyle factors – alcohol, spicy foods, temperature extremes, and smoking can all contribute.
• Natural ageing – as skin thins, underlying vessels are easier to see.
How Does Vascular Laser Work?
A vascular laser is designed to target red and purple pigmentation in blood vessels without damaging surrounding skin. The laser light is absorbed by the blood in the vessel, causing it to heat, collapse, and eventually be reabsorbed by the body.
This process is:
• Precise – it only targets unwanted vessels.
• Safe – minimal impact on surrounding tissues.
Effective – many clients see visible improvement after just one session.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
Vascular laser can be used on many areas, including:
• Face – common sites are cheeks, nose, and chin.
• Legs – small spider veins.
• Body – anywhere broken vessels appear.
What to Expect During Treatment
• The treatment is generally quick and well tolerated.
• You may feel a warm, snapping sensation as the laser targets the vessels.
• The skin may look slightly red afterward, but downtime is minimal.
• Results can often be seen within 2–4 weeks, with further sessions sometimes needed for optimal clearance.
Benefits of Vascular Laser
• Clearer, more even skin tone
• Reduction of redness and flushing
