Does laser treatment really work to get rid of broken capillaries, tiny blood vessels that burst just below your skin’s surface and may appear as red dots, bruising, spider veins, or discolored patches?
Here’s what to know about how lasers target broken capillaries, what to expect, and if this treatment is truly right for you.
Schedule a skin evaluation today by phone or online with our dermatology specialists, led by Vindhya Veerula, MD, at Integrative Dermatology & Laser Spa in Fort Wayne, Indiana, to take advantage of laser treatment for broken capillaries.
Anyone can develop broken capillaries, but common risk factors include:
Fortunately, simple treatments available at Integrative Dermatology & Laser Spa offer the even-toned, healthy skin you deserve.
Laser treatment reduces visible signs of broken capillaries and spider veins using laser energy to heat and destroy damaged veins without injections or chemical solutions.
If a broken capillary is small, it could disappear soon after laser treatment. It might take a month or longer for larger diseased veins to become absorbed by your body and disappear after laser treatment. Some patients experience optimal results after multiple laser sessions.
Your dermatologist examines your skin and reviews your medical history, symptoms, medications, dietary supplements, lifestyle, and goals to determine which treatment for broken capillaries/spider veins best suits you.
During laser treatment, they apply painless laser energy to targeted areas of your skin while you relax comfortably. Treatment might last just 15 minutes, but it depends on the size of the areas treated.
Adopting healthy lifestyle habits, undergoing sclerotherapy, and wearing compression stockings are other things you can do to keep your veins healthy, reducing the risk of or eliminating visible broken blood vessels. Exercising regularly, not standing or sitting for long periods, and maintaining a healthy body weight helps too.
