Laser treatment for redness and capillary removal
A light, natural facial blush can give your skin a fresh and healthy glow. However, when redness becomes persistent or gradually increases, it can lead to visible capillaries. On the face, capillaries most often appear in the area of the nose and cheeks.
Various skin conditions involve the dilation and damage of superficial capillaries, such as rosacea, spider angiomas and cherry angiomas. Laser treatments can also address other skin concerns associated with increased capillary visibility, including hypertrophic scars, keloids, acne scars, warts and sun-damaged skin.
What causes redness?
Facial redness and the appearance of capillaries can be a result of external influences, hormones, aging or genetic predisposition, but most often, it's a combination of several factors. Darker skin types are generally less prone to redness, while lighter and thinner skin tends to be more sensitive and reactive to external influences such as:
Temperature changes
Sudden temperature changes, like moving from a cold outdoor environment into a warm indoor space, can cause blood vessels in the face to dilate, leading to redness. Exposure to extremely low or high temperatures can also irritate the skin and intensify redness, particularly in individuals with sensitive skin or conditions such as rosacea.
Incorrect use of skincare products
Using overly aggressive skincare products, especially those containing high concentrations of alcohol, fragrances or acids, can irritate the skin and trigger redness.
Sun exposure
UV radiation damages the skin, contributes to aesthetic concerns such as lentigines and increased capillary formation, and also raises the risk of developing skin tumors.
How does laser treatment work and how many treatments are needed to remove capillaries?
Laser treatments use focused optical energy to precisely target specific skin structures without damaging the surrounding tissue. The heat generated by the laser causes coagulation of blood vessels, leading to their gradual disappearance from the surface layers of the skin. Over time, the body naturally breaks them down and removes them, resulting in a more even skin tone and a noticeable reduction in redness.
The number of treatments required to remove capillaries depends on the area being treated, skin type, number of capillaries, and the size or thickness of the blood vessel. Most often, 2-4 treatments are needed.
The procedure is non-invasive, quick and requires no downtime, allowing you to resume your daily activities immediately after the treatment. Temporary redness, mild swelling or skin sensitivity may occur, but most patients notice visible improvement after just one to several sessions, depending on skin type and the color and size of the capillaries.
Because the treatment is performed precisely and selectively, it effectively reduces redness, removes capillaries and restores the skin’s natural balance and healthy appearance.
