Laser Treatment for Broken Capillaries

Broken capillaries are a common problem, affecting 60 percent of women and many men, according to Results Laser Clinic. Laser treatment might be able to get rid of broken capillaries.

The Condition

Broken capillaries are blood vessels that have become enlarged due to a problem with the valves that control blood flow or weakness in the vein wall. Overexposure to sunlight can cause these problems.

The Treatment

Laser treatments collapse broken capillaries without damaging outer layers of the skin. These treatments also even out skin tone and promote collagen production, according to the Results Laser Clinic.

What To Expect

Laser treatment for broken capillaries is non-invasive and causes no pain. Treatment of the entire face takes 20 to 30 minutes, according to the Results clinic.

Comfort

During laser treatment, your doctor might have cool air blown on your face to increase comfort, according to TopSurgeons.com.

Results

Laser treatment can clear up broken capillaries within a few visits, according to the Results clinic.
