Broken Blood Vessels
What Are Broken Blood Vessels?
Broken blood vessels—also known as telangiectasias or spider veins—are small, dilated capillaries that appear just beneath the surface of the skin. They often show up as fine red, purple, or blue lines, most commonly on the face (cheeks, nose, and chin) or legs. These vessels can be caused by a variety of factors, including sun exposure, genetics, aging, rosacea, trauma to the skin, or lifestyle habits like alcohol use or extreme temperatures. While they are harmless, many people seek treatment to improve the appearance of their skin and restore a more even complexion.
Our Approach and Expertise
At The Center for Dermatology and Plastic Surgery, we offer expert diagnosis and advanced treatment options for broken blood vessels to help restore your skin’s clarity and confidence. Our board-certified dermatologists carefully evaluate the cause and location of your vascular concerns to recommend the most effective, minimally invasive solution.
We utilize state-of-the-art laser and light-based technologies—including vascular lasers like Excel V™ or Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy—to precisely target and fade visible blood vessels without damaging the surrounding skin. Treatments are quick, safe, and require little to no downtime, making them ideal for busy lifestyles.
In addition to treating existing vessels, we guide patients on prevention strategies to reduce recurrence, including proper sun protection, gentle skincare routines, and avoiding known triggers like extreme heat or harsh exfoliants.
With a personalized approach and a commitment to both aesthetic and medical excellence, The Center for Dermatology and Plastic Surgery is your trusted partner in achieving clearer, healthier-looking skin.
