What are Broken Capillaries?
Most people have experienced broken capillaries or blood vessels at some point in their lives. Broken capillaries are enlarged blood vessels underneath your skin. They often present as blood pimples or spidery red marks and don’t fade like a normal blemish. Typically, broken capillaries and blood vessels occur in the regions of the body where the skin is the thinnest, such as the eyes, cheeks, and nose. At Laser & Skin Surgery Center of Pennsylvania, we offer advanced treatments to target broken capillaries and blood vessels and help eliminate the redness accompanying them. If you have noticed red spots on your skin or have broken blood vessels and would like to seek treatment, contact our Devon, PA practice today.
How are Broken Capillaries Treated?
Although there are several ways to prevent broken capillaries from forming, you may need professional help to eradicate the ones you already have. We will examine your skin at your initial consultation and create a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. When you come for your treatment, you will be given protective eyewear, and a laser will be passed over the areas with visible blood vessels. Our advanced laser will apply wavelengths of light that will be absorbed by the blood vessel, to lighten and eliminate the redness. The energy can be delivered safely, so the surrounding tissue will not be negatively affected. Once treatment is complete, the broken capillary will fade as the damaged cells are replaced with new, healthy cells.
What are the Causes of Broken Capillaries?
Broken capillaries and blood vessels can be caused by several reasons and affect men and women regardless of age, gender, or skin type. Some factors can make a person more susceptible to getting them. These factors include:
- Aging
- Genetics
- Sun exposure
- Having rosacea
- Lifestyle factors, such as alcohol use and smoking
- Skin trauma
Laser & Skin Surgery Center of Pennsylvania Reviews
I have been so happy with Stephanie as my provider for the last 10+ years! Going in for cosmetics was always intimidating to me and she always made me feel so comfortable and guided me without any pressure! She is so sweet and easy to work with, truly cares for her patients. Would not see anyone else!
Stephanie is an excellent dermatology provider. I have been seeing her for years for both skin-related issues and cosmetic procedures. For skin-related issues, she takes the time to explain everything in detail and allows me to ask questions to make sure I understand. I always feel very well taken care of by her and never rushed along. She is very calm and patient and everything I would look for in a medical professional. For cosmetic procedures, she is truly an artist who continues to work on perfecting her craft! I have seen nothing but incredible results and always look forward to my cosmetic appointments with Stephanie. I highly recommend her to all of my family and friends!
Stephanie has been taking care of my skin for several years, and her expertise has boosted my confidence tremendously! I trust her with any and every concern because she truly knows her stuff. I’ve even referred my own patients to her, knowing they’ll receive exceptional care.
Stephanie has been my provider for nearly 5 years, and my experience each time is nothing short of exceptional. Stephanie is beyond knowledgeable in all aspects of dermatology. Not only do I see her for my general derm concerns, but she also is my cosmetic injector and is INCREDIBLY talented. (I like to call her my facial engineer!) I’ve seen many providers over the years at various offices, but there is no one like Stephanie. Her expertise and compassionate care is unparalleled and truly sets her apart. She takes the time to thoroughly understand my concerns, explain treatment options, and answer all my questions in a way that is easy to understand. I send all my family and friends to see her and can’t recommend her enough!!!
Stephanie is the best of the best! She is amazing at what she does and so talented. She makes you feel super comfortable and is extremely thorough with her skin checks. I highly recommend Stephanie Slaski for your next derm appt.
