Broken Capillaries
Broken capillaries, also known as telangiectasia, are tiny, visible blood vessels that appear just beneath the surface of the skin. They often develop on the face, particularly around the nose and cheeks, due to factors such as sun exposure, genetics, ageing, or skin conditions like rosacea. While harmless, they can create a blotchy or flushed appearance that many patients find cosmetically bothersome. Effective treatment targets the vessel directly, causing it to close and fade without damaging surrounding skin.
Recommended treatments
Excel V+
Excel V+ is highly effective for broken capillaries, using targeted laser energy to heat and collapse the affected vessels. Its dual-wavelength system allows precise treatment of both superficial and slightly deeper capillaries, while built-in cooling ensures patient comfort and minimises risk to surrounding skin. Results are typically seen after 1–2 sessions, though some patients may require additional treatments for more extensive vascularity.
Laser Genesis
Laser Genesis offers a gentler option for patients with diffuse redness and multiple fine capillaries. By stimulating collagen and gently heating the upper dermis, it promotes an even skin tone while also reducing background redness that can make broken capillaries more noticeable.
