Facial Spider Veins

 Facial telangiectasia, spider veins, and broken capillaries are visible red blood vessels that are thread like in nature. These blood vessels are not exactly broken. Walls of blood vessels that are nearer to the skin surface expand and weaken, eventually becoming more visible. Spider veins or broken capillaries are usually caused by sun damage, extreme temperatures, rubbing, irritation, and harsh skin care treatments among other environmental trauma. They worsen when combined with other conditions, such as pregnancy, rosacea, and genetic factors. The gold standard to treating minor spider veins on the face is IPL Photofacial. IPL is a highly effective treatment option or removing spider veins. 

IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light and is similar to a laser treatment which removes thread veins, spider veins, blood vessels, broken vessels and facial redness with the help of heat energy.  It works better on light brown or white skin as compared to black skin.  Everyone responds in different ways to IPL Photofacial. You may need multiple rounds of therapy before you can begin noticing results. 

Facial spider veins among other conditions can be erased using Intense Pulsed Light Therapy (IPL). Enlarged pores, sun damage, rosacea, redness, and irregular pigmentation can also be treated using this therapy. Light beams are used on the skin surface to target imperfections using this procedure. Your skin tone will develop a more even look when redness disappears and spider veins fade away.

You may experience mild discomfort following the med spa treatment. However, the treatment is usually said to be painless. Your treatment provider may use skin cooling methods for minimizing discomfort.

IPL is a beneficial treatment for people dealing with facial spider veins and broken capillaries. Additional treatment options can be used for reducing redness and making the skin tone more even.

Your Broadband Light (BBL) med spa treatment session may last anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes.

Severity of the issue and your skin condition will determine the number of treatment sessions required. You may need anywhere from 3 to 4 treatment sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart on an average and touch ups thru the years as needed.

It is possible that the treated area looks red or pink immediately following the treatment. The redness may last for 4 to 8 hours. Some people also notice a mild stinging sensation during this period. The feeling is similar to having a mild sunburn. You can use a cool pack or a moist cloth for easing the stinging. It’s vital that you moisturize the area for at least 3 months following your IPL Photofacial treatment.
