Broken Capillaries

Treatment for broken capillaries can significantly improve skin appearance by reducing visible red or purple lines on the face and body. At Sun and Skin Medical Centre in Mt. Eliza, Victoria, we offer advanced treatments designed to target and treat broken capillaries, helping you achieve a clearer, more even complexion. Our experienced team will assess your skin’s condition and recommend the most effective solution to restore your skin’s smooth, radiant look.

Broken capillaries, also known as spider veins or telangiectasias, are tiny blood vessels just beneath the skin’s surface that become dilated or damaged. When capillaries are broken, they become visible on the skin, often appearing as red, blue, or purple lines. Broken capillaries commonly occur on the face, especially around the nose, cheeks, and chin, but they can also appear on other parts of the body, such as the legs.

Factors contributing to broken capillaries include:

• Sun Exposure: UV radiation weakens blood vessels over time, making them more susceptible to breaking.
• Genetics: Some individuals have a genetic predisposition to broken capillaries.
• Aging: As we age, our skin becomes thinner, making capillaries more visible and prone to breakage.
• Environmental Stressors: Extreme temperatures, wind, and pollution can contribute to broken capillaries.
• Lifestyle Factors: High alcohol consumption, smoking, and frequent hot showers can dilate blood vessels, increasing the risk of visible capillaries.

Understanding the causes of broken capillaries is essential for determining the best treatment approach and preventing future occurrences. At Sun and Skin Medical Centre, we provide targeted treatment for broken capillaries, helping restore your skin’s natural, even tone.

While broken capillaries are usually harmless, they can be a cosmetic concern for many individuals, especially when they appear on visible areas like the face. Treatment for broken capillaries can improve skin tone, minimize redness, and create a more uniform complexion, helping patients feel more confident and comfortable in their skin.

Professional treatment for broken capillaries can also prevent further progression, especially for those with a genetic predisposition or lifestyle factors that may exacerbate the condition.

At Sun and Skin Medical Centre in Mt. Eliza, Victoria, we offer several effective treatments for broken capillaries, each designed to target visible capillaries and restore a smoother, clearer complexion. Our treatments are selected based on your unique skin type, the severity of the capillaries, and your overall treatment goals.

1. Laser Therapy

• • Laser therapy is a highly effective treatment for broken capillaries, especially our Vascular Laser (Excel V+ From Cutera), using focused light energy to target and break down dilated capillaries. The laser energy heats the capillary, causing it to collapse and gradually fade over time.
  • This treatment is particularly effective for broken capillaries on the face and other small areas, providing precise results without affecting surrounding skin.
  • Laser therapy requires little to no downtime, making it a convenient choice for those seeking a non-invasive solution for broken capillaries.

2. Electrodesiccation

• • Electrodesiccation is a minimally invasive technique that uses a fine electric needle to target and coagulate the broken capillaries, causing them to fade over time.
  • This treatment is highly effective for small, localized capillaries and offers precise results for patients seeking targeted care.
  • Electrodesiccation requires minimal recovery time, making it a convenient option for treating small areas affected by broken capillaries.

3. Topical Treatments and Preventive Care

• • Although topical treatments cannot remove broken capillaries, medical-grade skincare products can support skin health, minimize irritation, and reduce redness.
  • Sun and Skin Medical Centre offers personalized skincare recommendations to help strengthen blood vessels, reduce redness, and prevent further damage, such as antioxidant-rich serums and gentle, non-irritating cleansers.
  • By incorporating the right skincare products and preventive measures, you can help maintain clear skin and prevent the formation of new broken capillaries.

Seeking professional treatment for broken capillaries offers several benefits:

• Enhanced Skin Tone and Texture: Laser therapy with our amazing Vascular Laser (Excel V+ From Cutera) effectively reduce visible capillaries, restoring a more even complexion.
• Quick, Minimally Invasive Solutions: Treatments for broken capillaries are generally non-invasive and require minimal downtime, allowing patients to resume daily activities quickly.
• Long-Lasting Results: Professional treatments provide longer-lasting results compared to over-the-counter remedies, helping you achieve clear skin with lasting improvements.
• Increased Confidence: Reducing the appearance of broken capillaries can significantly boost self-esteem, helping you feel more comfortable in your skin.

At Sun and Skin Medical Centre, we prioritize patient comfort and satisfaction, delivering effective treatment solutions tailored to each individual’s skin needs.
