What are Broken Capillaries

Capillaries connect arteries and veins, and help transport nutrients such as water and oxygen between the blood and tissue. They normally expand and contract in size all the time, similar to a rubber band being stretched. However, at times they can get dilated too much to the point that they are no longer able to return to their original smaller sizes. The capillaries stay over dilated and remain visible as a result. This condition is known as telangiectasias, or broken capillaries. They are commonly found on the face.

How A Beauty Laser & Skin treats them ?

One of the most effective options available that can greatly reduce the appearance of broken capillaries in the face are laser skin treatments. The lasers are targeted directly at the blood vessel, and leave the surrounding healthy tissue intact. The laser’s light is absorbed by the hemoglobin, which vaporizes the blood and causes that capillary to collapse. The body will then naturally dissolve what is left. There is minimal downtime involved with these laser treatments, and most patients often return back to work immediately after their procedure. Laser treatments are typically a permanent solution to already damaged capillaries, but they do not prevent brand new ones from forming.
