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
