Laser Treatments for Broken Capillaries, Rosacea, and Redness: How Do They Work?

Laser treatments for concerns like broken capillaries, rosacea, and general skin redness work by specifically targeting tiny blood vessels beneath the skin’s surface. These visible vessels cause the unwanted redness and uneven appearance on your face or body.

The lasers emit precise wavelengths of light, which are naturally attracted to the red colour within blood vessels. When the laser energy reaches these targeted vessels, it gently heats and seals them shut without harming surrounding skin tissues. Your body then gradually reabsorbs these sealed vessels over time, resulting in clearer and more even-looking skin.

For conditions such as rosacea, laser treatments can also help reduce inflammation by calming overactive blood vessels responsible for persistent redness. Multiple sessions are usually recommended to achieve lasting improvement.

At Contour Clinics, our cosmetic doctors provide detailed consultations to explain how laser treatments can specifically address your skin concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do broken capillaries and prominent veins on the face occur?

These capillaries and veins were always there. The reason you can now see them is because they have become enlarged.

Enlargement of capillaries and veins occurs for a variety of reasons, each require their own unique treatment regimen to ensure there is no worsening/new capillaries forming.

Regardless of the reason for enlargement, laser therapy may represent an effective method for removal.

What causes broken capillaries on the nose?

The area around the base of the nose where the nostril meets the cheek is a common area for broken capillaries. This is a thin area of skin where capillaries are quite close to the surface and easily visible when they enlarge.

These are comfortably treated with our variety of laser devices.

Are broken capillaries hereditary?

There is a heretidable component to your susceptibility to broken capillaries.

The degree to which you have inherited the propensity to form broken capillaries varies person to person.

Can broken capillaries on the face be treated?

Yes. Using a laser from our range chosen specifically for your unique needs, your broken capillaries will noticeably improve, often after just 1 session. Usually, this is done by PDL/IPL/nd:YAG or RF pin. The choice of which is determined by your Contour Clinics laser professional on the day of your treatment/consultation.

Our laser therapists will direct you to the latest technologies to remove your broken capillaries with the least discomfort and quickest results.

How are prominent veins and capillaries treated?

These unsightly broken blood vessels are easily treated with our gold standard laser therapies. This is either PDL/IPL/nd:YAG or RF pin depending on your specific needs.

There is no downtime and minimal pain associated with this type of laser treatment. Treatments take less than 5 minutes.

Can broken capillaries and prominent veins fade?

They are unlikely to fade on their own. However, fading or even complete removal may be possible with our medical grade laser technologies.

Can broken capillaries or prominent veins heal on their own?

No, once damaged these veins remain enlarged and visible to the naked eye. These need to be treated with laser therapies. Creams help to treat the underlying cause, but will not remove veins and capillaries already enlarged and damaged.

Does alcohol make broken capillaries worse?

Alcohol can increase the appearance of broken capillaries owing to its ability to dilate blood vessels. Often people notice redness and capillaries appear more prominent when drinking alcohol.

Are broken capillaries and prominent veins safe to remove with laser?

All medical procedures carry risk. The risks as they relate to your unique circumstances will be discussed in your complimentary consultation.

Laser treatments for the removal of broken capillaries and prominent veins are a clinically validated and effective method for removal of redness/capillaries and prominent veins. Your safety is our primary priority, with laser protocols designed to maximise efficacy, while minimising the risk of side effects.

Are broken capillaries dangerous?

These are most often a benign cosmetic concern. Rarely are they associated with an underlying medical condition. It is important you have any skin change checked by a doctor.

At Contour Clinics, all doctors are experienced in checking prominent veins and capillaries to ensure they are safely removed and not anything more than a cosmetic concern.
